Its neat to hear stories about how a tradition comes about and it is always a good time. Friends and family is what hunting and the outdoors is all about.

Great story, That's kind of how it is for me. Bow hunting is all about the hunt, solitude, alone in the woods me and the deer. Gun hunting is about getting together with family and friends, thanksgiving diner, the Packer game and having a good time. I feel so lucky that I have the chance to do both because if I had to give one up I don't know which one I would choose, I love them both.

Wish I was there!! Nothing like hunting from a pack-in backcountry camp with family and good friends.

Chopping wood is my favorite past time. I don't know of how to have more fun and work at the same time.

Boy does this article bring back fond memories, I can truly understand what the writer was talking about as I have participated in several of these myself. You can't ask for a better way to meet people who share the Passion of hunting the out- doors than a good ol' wall tent and fire pit. I'll be headed to another one come this October in the state of Wyoming reuniting with some good friends once again.

If you've never been,.. you don't know what your missing!

Brings back memories of winter hunts here in Colorado. Never had a wall tent but camped in snow many times and have trudged through a couple of feet of snow to get and retrieve my harvest. I don't like to see the ATVs and hope these hunters observed all the rstrictions.
