Sleeping Bag Location?
« on: June 17, 2014, 07:40:41 PM »
Well, where will you be resting sore legs this fall? Luxurious base camp, minimalistic/perhaps mobile base camp, home base bedroom and driving to hunt spots, back country camp, tiny town motel, back of truck canopy? What's your elk camp gonna be like this year?

On a Cabela's deluxe XL Cot in a 12x12 Alaknak tent. In a nice spot deep in the Bethel unit. My bro pulled a muzzy cow tag for that unit and so the rest of us (Dad and I) will be spotting for him and huntin for spikes...

Depends where I'm hunting, if it's remote then tent or cabin if available, sometimes the back of my truck.  Otherwise I like hotels, hot water, TV, power, cold beer, heated rooms, comfy beds,   :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm hunting 40 minutes from home. Plenty of adventure to be found on a tight schedule, with a warm bed and hot shower every day. Weekends and nights I got out 9 days for modern deer last year. And I slept like a baby.

Interesting question.....I know 1 week will be in a bivy, the following week maybe out of a truck camp or out of a bivy again...then in October it will either be out of a canvas tent for two weeks with a random spike out trip....who knows...maybe another bivy trip in November  :dunno:

The one thing I do know is I wont be too far from some dandy bulls each an every night :tup:

RV, man. Hot showers, kitchen, no set up. Fires in the pit outside. Roughing it, totally!

Hard to miss us. If the sign is out it is us. We confirgure our set up differently depending on number of folks in camp.
But where ever you see our logo that is a camp member.
Stop in and we will buy you a soda.

I like it. Is there a wood roof under the tarp?
