My kind of men right there as said above, men. My memories of deer camp days and nights, wooo man, that was fun. Growing up, going to camp on the weekends with the non-stop hunting, card games at night, the dogs. Then there was the skinning and cleaning deer and just the times we had. Wow. Those days are long gone in most of America, replaced by thin-skinned soymilk drinking assholes who want us in cages. Over my body.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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'  https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/111224/10494495_10202652033201364_6646872009018-1783025.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/111224/16143600_10208650481758829_1566216765614-1783026.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/111224/16252376_10208650484518898_1871264486656-1783027.JPG

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. 100% this.

I was expecting to see a row of those itty bitty deer from out in west TX.
When we'd be quail hunting and 3 or 4 deer would jump/run through the sage brush my first thought was always, jackrabbit, till I realized they were really deer. |

I remember when all you had to wear was red...before blaze orange even existed and became required. I started hunting in 1976 when I turned 12....though my brother and I would sneak out and maybe hunt rabbit or squirrel when I was about 9. I would use a .22 or .410 (12 gauge had to much kick for my little skinny ass

Quote HistoryQuoted: Deer camp isn't the same anymore. 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. Archery hunting took away a lot of it too. Now 3/4 of the deer hunters around here have their deer before the first snowflake lands before rifle season begins. They go out and sit in trees by themselves preseason. This IMO took a lot of the excitement and family gatherings out of it by making it a loner sport rather than a family event. |

Quote HistoryThere's a difference between seeing a thing on the internet, and a thing actually representing reality. Yelling at the sky about men these days bc of an online ad is boomer mental masturbation of the highest order. Might be fun, but unproductive at the end of the day. If your view of men sucks, you're probably hanging out with the wrong crowd. |

You can say that, I guess. But archery season is open for months and it gives people a lot of opportunity to get a deer rather than trying to fight the crowds for a week or two of gun season. We used to do a week of early season archery camp and a week of gun season because most of the states we hunted had multiple tags. Some places you could get 5-6 deer in a season. |
