Let the deercamp fun begin!
#12
The small ones make for a good camp deer. Not a lot of meat, but good eating. One of the kids usually plugs one since they're so excited to shoot a deer. Don't see many monster bucks on our land but I've bagged some really big does. I'm more concerned about meat in the freezer instead of a rack on the wall. Besides, I bagged enough "bucks" in Iraq:-)
Hey Roofer, where do you hunt at? Our camp is by Nickerson. Nice area and we're really secluded. Great place to be with friends and drink enough beer to make up for being dry most of the year!

There are big bucks around....just have to wait for them. Been 8 years since my last one which was 240 dressed 8 pointer.....but yes, mostly does around.

The weekend was pretty much a bust. My bro shot a big doe just before dusk yesterday that ended up croaking in a beaver pond. Had loads of fun helping him with that-NOT! Got her back and hung up. Weather was a pretty key factor-way too warm. They really need to have the seson start a week later. No one was getting much of anything around us either. Didn't help that three of the other guys brought their kids along. I don't mind teaching the younger one's to hunt but they can't stay in the stands and would rather buzz around on wheelers or make noise outside. Had a buck coming in early this morning and that all ended when they came out of the cabin making all kinds of noise and slamming the door a few dozen times. Then hopped on their wheelers to head to their stands which they only sat in for @ an hour(after getting up late and heading out after sunrise). Anyway, I got royally ticked so I gathered all my stuff from the stand and headed in to make breakfast and pack to go home. They came back to eat and asked why I was back already so I really laid into them(adults and all), threw my stuff on the trailer, and headed to my truck. Even my bro was coming into leave as I was pulling out with my truck and he sits out even more than I do so he'd had enough too. We've been talking about going in on some hunting land and having our own place. Might have to lock that in before next season. Hope everyone else had better luck!

If you want a new place to hunt, we have room. My buds that usually go, quit coming and sold their wheelers (kinda wimpin out on me). You need a wheeler to get there. I'll give you a tour when we go for the ride I promised you guys when the snow flies after season, and you can bring your tracks. The land just South of us is for sale every few years also. 100 acres and a cabin.
