Title: camp from a lost era
Post by: highmuley on April 16, 2011, 03:13:30 PM: Here is a picture of our hunters camp from years past. All the folks have long passed on. I had the pleasure of hunting with a few of them. Let's see what you got.

That's some good hunting country for sure. My son, Smokepolejr. shot his first deer up in Ben Canyon. Last year we hiked up Ben Canyon to the top of Lookout Mtn. then traversed east. Saw only a few deer, but it's nice country. Did shoot at one early in the season up there. Lots of orange coats, nowadays.

Post by: highmuley on April 17, 2011, 08:15:26 PM: I love hunting were I hunt. I can wake up and CHOOSE to chase mule deer or white tail without ever getting in my truck. I am the last of my hunting party. But, my kids have been going up there since birth (one of them was all of 10 days old the first time he went!) Hopefully they will start a new tradition of chasing mulies up mountain tops and being out-smarted by white-tails. Like myself and the generations before me. It gives me great joy to know that my bloodline has chased the same bloodline of deer for nearly a century.
