What is your favorite thing about deer camp? Is it the camaraderie, the food, the smell of gunpowder, etc.?
Theres a lot I love about it! One of the best things is walking through the woods with a .308 over my shoulder and a 357mag in my hand with my family members by my side! Bow season was great this yearas well! I hope everyone has a great season(s) this year and returns home safe! :monkey
It's not a trophy...
What do I like about deer camp? Oh, my. There is so much to like:
Rocks, snakes, and poisonous plants to sleep on.
Bears who want to share my provisions.
Damp kindling.
Natural bathroom evironment.
Fellow campers who snore louder than most ATVs at full-throttle.
Rain from a partly-sunny forecast.
Long walks on terrain that mountain goats would have enough sense to avoid.
I can't wait for my next chance to go deer hunting!!

My favorite part is that after 20 years of camp, nothing has really changed. It feels exactly like it did when I was 16. We have awesome food, and some of my better friends that I only get to see during hunting.
Of course things do change, this is my new favorite thing!!!! My 10 year old in the youth hunt this year. It's not a trophy but it sure was to him, and I was proud as can be.
I disagree, that is a trophy! Any hunter should be proud to take that deer. I know I would. I'm glad to see that you've introduced a new hunter to the sport. BTW, what caliber rifle is that? Anyway, keep up the good work metalman383!

Nevermind that the lions would eat them too in a heartbeat.
That would.be my Rock River Arms. 308
You know, I hear tennis is a nice sport.
I was tongue-in-cheek, lads. I'm a camper at heart. My hunting instincts have been buried under scrapping for survival in the psuedo-civilization called northern VA--but they're still there.
Some day I would like to ride horseback fifty or a hundred miles through Idaho or Montana.
