Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

that's good news wabo, sep fer the mt dew & crown... that just don't sound very good.

Well I got my trail mowing done, little man "plays with matches" and i went to camp friday night & the rest of the family joined us on saturday. Buschpilot & his amigo stopped out on friday night, we had a few beers & talked smart like deer hunters do, i cooked a few cheeseburgers from a pound of wild somethin or another, sory fellers, them burgers were rough. I'll do better next time.

Saturday morning me & the little man went hunting for grouse, li'l man had his lever action RRBB & I had my lever action 9422M.

Well, we weren't the quietest hunters, I was getting an education on flying bears (again) and we flushed 4 birds with no shots fired.

I do have these shots of the chickenbuck master during a close encounter with a red squirrel though.







I chunked up a couple of last year's elk steaks (the last from last year) and chopped up a bunch of veggies & made one heck of a stew. It was a lazy night at the shack last night, everybody crashed out on couches & in chairs, me up by myself reading hunting magazines & having a beer. elkhunter76 from Wyoming kept me company txting me, sounds like he's going to hunt hard next weekend while the wife is out of town

well we had our usual big pancake breakfast this morning then the whole family went on a long walk with asorted boomsticks looking for grouse.

we didn't do so good on the grouse but it turns out weezy is pretty hot stuff with her pink laminate stocked ruger 10/22. She blasted a couple of squirrels, pretty good shoot'n too.

Is it possible to be happy and disgusted at the same time? I think it is...




finally I get to this afternoon in my story telling (I'll skip all the missed opportunities on grouse that nobody shot at )

RWS & I decided to put dusty's deer stand up for him. we found a nice spot & decided to at least get the cross members secure & set the floor in place so that all dusty has to do is come up, adjust the floor on the supports the way he wants it and put the walls on his box stand.
