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

We arrived at the lake and traveled out about 17 miles from shore on a resort plowed lake road to where we could see CBF's fish house. His house was a half mile off of the lake road with his "driveway" plugged with drifted snow.



The old plow truck chipped away at a trail, smashing away with an average of a 20 foot push at a time in order to clear a narrow path to the broken fish house. Then the ole truck made several widening passes with the blade angled to wing the snow out.





The boys began work on the skid that had came off the house during efforts to move the house several weeks ago. One skid ripped off the house completely and the nose with the hook point busted off the other skid.





We built these steel brackets and hook loops in my shop Friday night with the idea that we would drill through the timbers (skids) and use through bolts to attach them.

It all worked really well, it just took a little time.
