Deer Camp 2012

It was a warm and foggy deer camp this year.  Members present included; Mac, Kolbs, Cookie, No Boozer, Shawn, Pete, and B.J.    Johnny the Knife was a part time attender, as the Boss was collecting a due bill from his escapade in Ontario.  Guess you can't disappear without consequences!  Visitors included Klinger and Greg Lemon (a fugitive from Minnesota), Uncle Bill, and Doc.   

Although hunting was not especially successful, the week's menu was outstanding.  New York Strips, Chop Suey, Smoked Pork Chops, and Corned Beef Boiled Dinner dotted the menu.  Wow, what an eatfest.  The ole Bemis got a work out this week!

No Boozer set up on the Northeast Corner this year.  Although he saw deer, it seems that everybody on the Federal Land shot the real deer before they could get to him (at least that was his story).  Cookie set up a "Bird Sanctuary" on the Southeast Corner.  Complete with Suet feeder and bird feed.  He even took his bird book with him to identify his new found friends.  He claims that the birds distract the deer and it improves his hunting success (lol).  Well, he made a lot of bird friends, but had a problem on the deer end of the deal.  B.J. sat out on the Southeast corner of the farm (as a rookie we didn't want him near the rest of the hunters).  He didn't see many deer, but we wonder if he ever opened his eyes.  Shawn spend his time in the "Midget Blind".  He spent hours cooped up in the Mini as he watched a parade of Does and Little Bucks travel in front of him.  We think the deer know that the blind is so small he can't get the gun raised to make a shot.  Leave it to Al Queda construction. Mac, Pete, and Kolbs spent time at the Hooka-Hooka lounge.  Beer and Captain/Coke seemed to cloud the visions.  Nobody could ever put horns on those beauties.  Johnny the Knife potted an eight point out of his kitchen window!  Is that legal?  WTF?  Can't really be much like hunting in Ontario!

Camp improvements abounded.  A seven man wood splitting frenzy occurred.  Every 1/2 hour Shawn and Pete would shut down the splitter and call for a beer break!  Got lots of wood split, and a little tipsy.  Good news is nobody got hurt.  Cookie installed new "mood lights" that are powered by the solar system.  After taking enough shit to make a sewage plant cringe, the Cookster finally got Kudo's for his effort.  The solar system has allowed up to really minimize the use of the Generator!  NICE!!!!!!!

The quote of the week came when we were discussing the Cookster's love life.  After a little gentle ribbing (well, maybe not so gentle), Cookie exclaimed "I can get Fucked, but I can't get laid."  That only added fuel to the fire!  The vultures landed on that like it was dead meat, poor Cookster didn't hear the end of it after that (especially after large amounts of Everclear Apple Pie was consumed). 

All in All, it was a GREAT WEEK!  This is truly a great group of people.
