Original Caption: Deer Hunters Drink and Play Poker While Waiting for Wild Deer. The Hunters Have Built a Permanent Camp to Which They Return Each Year, 11/1972 Leakey, Real County, Texas Attached File Attached File |

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. |

Looks the same as today to me. Only the clothes are different.
Why aren't they hunting? It's daylight out! |

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. |

Yep!!
When I was a little boy it was flannel shirt, jeans and that woodland type camo hat Buck 110 I had a milsurp canteen No fancy hunting specific clothes besides a hat or vest maybe |

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 |

They look kinda chubby for 1972? I thought people were skinnier back then.

That looks like a still shot from every hunter ed video I have ever seen.

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. |

The Jones hat has really collapsed in popularity since then.

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. |

Looks like two months ago in central Missouri.
We had fun. You should have been there. |

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. |
