Deer Camp 2013

Deer Camp 2013 has come to a close. Members present included: Mac, Shawn, Kolbs, Cookie, Boozer, Tommy, Pete, Garcia, DD, and BJ. Kaz and Zeke also were present. Shawn got only deer, a nice 8 point. Hunting was less than ideal, late nights seems to have a bad effect on hours hunted. Shawn only made it to 6:00 p.m. one night, and DD fell flat on his face as he attempted to plug in battery charger. New 12 volt lighting system worked great. Flip a switch and you have GOOD light, no need to run generator. This saved us a ton on gas, and the generator noise is eliminated. Mac, Kolbs, and Pete hunted out of Hooka-Hooka and saw lots of deer, just no shooters. Boozer and Cookie hunted on East end of North Eighty and also saw deer. BJ was out East and saw nothing, we will move him next year. Meals were outstanding, as usual. I think this camp has the best chefs in Michigan! I really dont need to eat for another month. You may have noticed the name change to Boozer. Seems one night, kind of late, he kind of stood up, then exclaimed that we could take the "No" off his name. Highly appropriate for the moment. Cookie made a lot of new friends in his blind. Rocky, Boris, etc... were all ground squirrels that paid him a visit. He fed them and reported daily about their activities. We were all enthralled with his stories. Dave installed numerous "Deer Aids" in his hunting area, even a motion detector to wake him if he is sleeping. Wow! We even have a motion detector on our road now. Try sneaking up on us. I'm feeling like Michigan Militia right now. Shawn finished and installed the new Bar. I think it is nice, but I really couldn't see it, Mac and Pete set up camp at the bar and never left. I think they like it. A great camp, with many memories. Look forward to 2014.
