No one else here has a permanent camp? You boys are missing out on one of the things that makes hunting worthwhile IMO.

Here's our whitetail camp up in the Texas Panhandle. It's a 100 year old cowboy shack....
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Those are great looking places. The woods around them are beautiful as well.

I don't understand why those camps would be empty. I would spend as much time as I possibly could in any of those. Beautiful!

gmiller--It's kind of a long story but -- When those camp were built--- Late 1930's to middle 1950's that was about the only area around with a deer population. Ten miles to the east into NY you hardly saw a deer right up until about 1970. The majority of the deer have followed the farmers corn fields and alfalfa. The smaller woods 5- 300 acre woods surrounded by farms are a much easier and more productive way to hunt. Around my camp a good day would to see 5 deer. In the farmland If you don't see 5 deer by 8:00am something is wrong. People now days want fast results. We at my camp still have a crew of 5 or 6 that will spend a week or two and then every weekend until the end of the season. I myself for the last 15 years spend a month at a time. Getting young blood into these camps for any length of time is very hard. Camps in my area are a dying breed. It's a shame . Thanks Web

This is a real nostalgia trip for me. I grew up in New England and those camps represent the world and time in which I grew up. It does make you want to just pack the truck and go hunting.

Pre-camp photo. I'll post more next week when I get back.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
