This reminds me of camps I've been to in Northcentral PA and New York's Adirondacks. Wild places and true hunts. I love deer camp. I try to explain to people who don't hunt that it's a holiday, better than christmas.

These secluded places are really neat and are always a great retreat to the outdoors. Always a fun time for sure.

My grandfather (passed in July at 99 years young) hunted Drummond Island during the 30's. I will always remeber the stories and his massive 240 pound (dressed) 12 point that is now in my dad's cabin in Skanee, Mi. Thanks for triggering some great memories!

Big, fat, and tasty. When I first saw this big-bodied 5-pointer, he was huffing up a steep bluff, downwind of my ground blind, all the way behind me and 20 yards away. As he passed behind the tree I leaned against, twisted to the right as far as I could and froze. When the deer hit my scent plume, he went bananas. Spread-eagled nearly to the ground, and gave a funky half-snort half-alarm grunt that clearly carried the message: "Things are bad and I mean real bad."

He 180ed in mid-air, took three big leaps, and then stopped to figure out just what that horrible stench was.

Not a good move.
