Title: LAST DAY OF 2010 DEER CAMP
Post by: CHUCK S on December 16, 2010, 10:02:29 AM: This was the last day of camp this year. This is only 2 of the 8 deer we got in camp this year so we filled up all the freezers. No really big racks this year (since the wives weren't with us :>) but some nice deer none the less.

Post by: CHUCK S on December 17, 2010, 07:19:10 AM: We Lease around 3000 acres or so of farm fields and canyon's. That way I've been able to guarantee my boys are safe and have plenty of opportunity to harvest a nice animal. We've filled our all three years we've gone over. For the cost and harvest rate I really encourage guys with kids to try to do it. It's really not as expensive as people think it is and with as short of a season we have it really makes sense to me. I've been blessed with the means to afford it (and kids who love going as much as I do and can shoot straight :>) but I've worked hard for those means. I consider it an investment and would not trade it for the world. I know there are many more deer out there that are HUGE (our biggest was my son's 1st deer that scored a 134 7/8 and put him in the youth record book at 11) but I don't hunt for trophy's, I hunt for the experience and the meat. As I said before the cost is about 1/3 -1/5 of a guided hunt so go talk to the farmers and find somewhere to go just not my farmer :>)
