Favorite hunting camps

[Al "Shifty" Schultz]

I was talking with some old friends over the weekend about past excursions together and future ones planned.. about my second (or was it my third?) Thicc Midget cup full of bourbon we got to reminiscing about favorite hunting camps, and some of our most miserable...

How about you all? It's after 5pm here, my Thicc Midget is primed and I was just curious, let's see some pics from some of your favorite hunting camps.

I've stayed in everything from RV trailers, to bivy sacks... About the only thing I haven't ever hunted from is a lodge..

Here's some pics from some of my previous hunts, I'm curious to see some of yours!

That looks like a lot of good stories!

So many! Great stories, great friends, great memories. For example, if you look between us in the picture with the black poly tarp lean-to made from tree branches you will see a rattlesnake skin hanging, and if you zoom in on the fire you will see an old school tin canteen cup in which we're boiling some of the snake meat.. don't do that.. it's better to fry or slow cook snake, boiled snake is as nasty as our expressions in the picture betray...

A lot of heartfelt conversations, tears and beers, whiskey, different game meats cooked, a bunch of tomfoolery and amazing times happen at camps and around the campfire.

What part of the country were you hunting in this camp?

Anyone that grew up or has been around WI hunting understands what "Deer Camp" is all about. I miss it a lot.

I am 48 and when I was 12 we started hunting Fort McCoy in WI. Any military folks on here may have been there, it is a large training facility for the US gov.

Pre 9/11 it was fucking awesome because they would let us stay in the barracks. The particular barracks we always got was really cool. I think they were officer barracks as you got your own room and you would share a bathroom with the room next store. The basement had a gathering space with a pool table. The amount beer drank was impressive!

We had a crew of 20-30 people depending on the given year. It was a good crew made up of 60% my direct blood family members and then the rest was friends. The cool part is you never knew who was going to be in the remaining rooms of the barracks.

So many fun times!

This is my duck camp Im building. This is while I was still working on the outside. Looks much nicer without all the building crap piled around it now lol.

Here is the interior. I’m finishing up the kitchen area this next week hopefully.
Here is my NM camp for mule deer hunting

Thanks! I went a little overboard on my duck camp lol. I enjoy working on it and ended up making it a little fancier than I intended. It’s off grid but I do run a fridge and a few small things off a battery setup

Some pretty cool looking camps. Bet there are a ton of great memories there.

LoL ... For a while I raised lambs and sold them... That particular lamb's mother rejected it at birth and we were bottle feeding it. I'd be damned if I was going to miss hunting season because I had to bottle feed a lamb, so I brought the lamb along.

Now that’s commitment on both ends!

This is probably the one that started it all for me! This camp was the Sept 1975 Archery Deer Season.. my first real "hunting camp"... Been at it hard ever since!
