About as elaborate as we ever got was 4x8 shack with sliding windows made of wood from the cut out and a Mr Buddy heater between one of the boys and I. It was located about 5 feet off the ground.

Lots of great times with my boys crammed into that blind.
We no longer hunt there, and the blind was destroyed (Long Story)

One of the greatest memories was Gramps in his underwear and slippers taking a picture of the kid with his first Buck.

I got a picture some where of that, we all bust up laughing, and then start to talk about "Deer Camp"

Miss those times, that place, & some of the people, but attitudes of some and age of others, dictated it was time to move on.......



My youngest Son never got a picture of Gramps taking his picture, he has never forgotten it either......

The day we (I) decided to no longer hunt there, was the day before the youth hunt. I did some quick scouting, and took the youngest son out that next morning, and he got a nice 8 point.

He has never forgotten that either.......


Not sure why that is sideways...........
