HUNTERS
Hunting camps are not a necessity to harvest a whitetail deer, but they can add a special extra to your
deer hunting experience. Many hunters do their thing within a few miles of home, therefore the need of a
camp has never been a thought. But there is something about a deer camp that brings a deeply enjoyable
benefit to your hunting. If you hunt with one or more hunting companions, assembling the night before a one
to multiple day hunt, allows for some special camaraderie, that you can’t get any other way. If your travel
time is an hour or more to your hunting area, maybe this is an option for you to consider.
Getting together the evening before a hunt, lets you plan the day ahead, share war stories, relax with your
fellow hunters and friends and be fresh and ready to go in the morning as you are close to your favorite spot
to ambush another whitetail.
Camps can be down right simple to fairly elaborate. There are tent camps, RV/travel trailer camps, mobile
home camps and permanent structure camps. Which one is right? Only you and your friends can decide that.
The choice should be based on the fact, will it meet your needs, keep you warm and dry, as well as having
enough room to be comfortable for those attending? I hunt one area about 2 hours from home. Every year, I
average 15 to 20 trips to that hunting spot. Each fall we set up a good sized wall tent with a collapsible wood
stove, and an adjacent 12 by 12 screen tent for cooking purposes. This camp stays in place until the end of
hunting season, then is removed and put away until next year. This camp will handle 2 to 4 hunters quite
nicely. Cots with sleeping bags are very comfortable and a cheery blaze in the wood stove keeps us warm
and dry, no matter what the outside conditions are at the time. A rope stretched near the top of the tent
allows wet and/or frozen clothing to be dried overnight for a comfortable hunt, again the next day. That tent
is set up on private property, so we can leave the majority of our necessities there until we are done for the
year. With some checking around ahead of time, often you can find a place to pitch a tent or park a camper
for a reasonable to no cost amount on private property near your chosen hunting spot.
If the area you are hunting is going to be utilized for some number of years to come, you might find a spot
that you can lease and park a permanent camper or older mobile home on, for use year after year. You and
your friends may even find an acre or so of ground close to your hunting area that can be purchased ,
allowing you the option to build a cabin for a permanent hunting camp.
Let me go back to the tent camp of ours and talk a bit. We have a 4 foot square table that we use to eat on,
play cards, clean or adjust our weapons and with cutting boards, process any harvested deer. Two trees
next to the tent allow us a spot to hang deer and after they are checked in, can be skinned, boned and placed
in some big coolers we always bring along. If the weather is warm, this prevents the venison from spoiling,
as we will use a good ice pack on the meat. A smaller table is where the stove and cooking utensils are set
up for use. With a camp nearby, you can come in out of a pouring rain or wet snow and dry out, catch a quick
nap during the day, cook a hot lunch and most important ( in my opinion ), each evening , share the days
events with your friends around the table or campfire. For 30 years now, I have used that tent set up all over
the country, for numerous hunts. That has left me with very precious memories of hunts with my sons, an
awesome brother and many, many good friends. I have hunted out of all kinds of camps and have to confess,
I like the tent camps the best. Rain drumming on the top of the tent, or driven snow rattling off the sides are
sounds I truly enjoy. This style of camp is certainly not for everybody, you should set up what ever type it is,
that suits you and your companions the best, as getting the maximum enjoyment out of each hunt is the
reason we are there.
Here is to your success during the season at hand,
