Our permanent deer camp was started at pretty much the same time.
The photos from back then look similarly awesome. My grandfather was one of the original members, I’m 3rd generation. We have that same red cooler up there still. Still have the lid though it is no longer attached. |

 Texas deer hunters have traditionally been among the best citizens in the country. I was raised by some of them, and the lessons were bigger than those great deer camps. |

Does constructing a fire ring that can be seen from space count as permanent?
If so, we have one of those. We have been going for 15 years.  Attached File |

Other than the shitty photo quality, it looks just like the deer camp I've been going to my whole life.
This stuff still happens every year. Some of you guys really need to get out of the city or suburbs. |

Got lots of family photos, and Super 8 film of the family and our yearly hunting camp up in the north woods.
Built a sauna each year and had 20-30 family for a week or more of horsing around, with a little bit of hunting thrown in. Here's a photo of Grandma and Grandpa at camp. Grandma was always packin'   Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Thanks to hunting shows and the culture it creates everyone is antler crazy now, takes all the fun out of camp when it turns into a job. |

Dad was Army (from Texas) and stationed at Fort Carson in the mid 70s. We'd hunt Colorado and then go to the Grandparents in Texas and hunt some more. |
