Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Let's See Those Deer Camps!

I lusted after an S-10 Blazer as a youth. lol. Not many around anymore but a few!

The coyotes got that one eh?

Grouse camp, NE MN



NW WI Deer camp

roundoak,

What size wall tent is that?

This is our second camp ( Stone Camp--- built in the 1930's )
Red Camp is our First.

Both camps surrounded by basically thousands of acres of hardwoods -- 270 acres of private hunting in New York attached to 900 acres public Hunting in NY and attached to 2000 acres public hunting in Vermont. Both camps are next to each other at the end of a dead end hollow.
The 1 acre of land my father bought in 1954 for $40 to build it, included forever hunting and restricted woodcutting rights on the remaining 100+ acres of woods that the 1 acre parcel was subdivided out of. Hunting rights can include anyone hunting out of our camp. Present owner ( hunter ) doesn't like it --- but knew it before he bought it. We do respect his property. Note --- Photo of Red Camp -- Bear used the post of the porch for his mark -2 post clawed up----- Web
----- Camp in nearby South Arlington Vt. that my Father hunted out of

also nearby the very famous South Hollow Hunting Camp in Vermont

I like these posts. I almost bumped a similar topic from 10 or so years ago. Great photos on display here.

I had that one in the late 90's. It was a pretty good rig.

Some of you all have some fancy camps. Nothing wrong with that, but it isn't for me.

For deer, elk and antelope here in WY, I usually sleep in the front seat of my pickup. If I eat dinner at all, I just heat up a can of stew on a small single burner stove on my tailgate and eat packaged stuff for breakfast and lunch. I like to be mobile and being fancy with the cooking doesn't work well for me.
If I am in the backcountry for elk or deer, I have just a small dome tent and my jet boil with Mountain House.

If it is going to be dry, sometimes I just use a tarp, like at snowCOCK camp this year.


I have a nice wall tent, but way too much time and energy is wasted getting an actual camp set up for me. When I hunted off horseback it was sometimes different, but not always.

8'x10'

You have the 4.3 in that? That motor is/was damn near bullet proof.

No it was a 2.8. It was very durable but did lack the power going up mountains.

Thanks! I’m thinking about a smaller one for solo trips and summer camping with the wife and kids. Do you think you’d rather have a 10x12?

No, if you notice, there is only one chair at the tent entrance. I hunt solo with this tent.

Me.

That's an amazing camp and a really cool story of how you got it! Thanks for posting the pics.

Here is ours. No neat old history. Same bunch of guys for the last 8-9 years. This is actually a cabin our neighbors let us use in exchange for pasture rent. A nice little trout stream about 100' from door.



They put this up for a carport, but we find it more useful for this purpose. Last season we had all five beams with hanging deer and a couple on the ground.

Thanks tzone--- There are about 10 + more camps in the nearby area that I known of and many many more over in nearby Vermont that I never new existed.. Our red camp gets used by a party of 5-7 hunters for the better part of First week of Vermont and First week of New York--- Nov-9th- 24 or so and then weekends. Most of the other camps in the area ,Hunters are hit or miss in and out. We by far have been the most regular since 1972. Camps are in this area a dying breed--- youth love them . for party--- camps were built in the woods in the 40's and 50's--- much larger deer herd and easier to shoot a buck setting at the edge of the farm land 10 miles away than to hunt the bigger woods. Which I understand their reasoning and their type of hunting. Much much more to hunting out of one of these camps with family and friends in breaking bread and drolling grog in front of a fireplace than figuring out which way the wind is blowing before you take that last piss 100 yards before you approach your deer stand that frosty morn. Thanks Keep your powder dry Web

You got it. That's what it's all about!
