Michigan Deer Camp scouting pics.

[AnointedArcher]

Sorry it took so long for me to post but my home computer is sick and slow so I had to wait for today where I can use a real PC.

It was an awesome time and so much land to hunt, my wife and I stayed another day longer than Rob and Arwin and we went road hunting about 118 miles worth of road hunting and we seen more bucks crusing than I have seen altogehter down home here.  Bad part is everytime we seen wildlife we had camera problems or just could not get to them fast enough.

We found several great camping areas for the gang, I would have to say Tomahawk Lake State Forest camp grounds would fit the bill the best as it is right next to a nice bathing lake as well as some open area for big pow wow type campfires   .  Plus it seems to be in the middle of all the hotest deer sign.

The camp ground is $15.00 per day but you don't need a state park sticker.  The bathrooms are very clean and the water is great, it will make a great base camp!

After Sept 26th the left over doe tags go on sale and it is first come first serve for this area so make sure you get them early.  ALso we seen several flocks of turkey so you might want to try for a left over turkey tag as well.

This is going to be a great hunt and an awesome time!  Let me see if I can find some pictures   :D  !

It'll take SEVERAL deer to feed a crew that big.    :eek:    

[hormoan]

It will be ok Ron, I'll bring potato chips  :D  and a little cheese to go with the wine. Who is bringing the industrial arrow back stop?

If I shoot one up there, better plan on helping me eat it!! Cause I don't plan on bring it back! Cept maybe some of the meat fit only to grind. Gotta love that summer sausage, even in the fall!

(It'll take SEVERAL deer to feed a crew that big. )

Especially if we are depending on Robslifts to supply the meat, last time he brought in a camp deer he carried it in his small game pouch  

[robslifts]

this is one of the hills that we are talking about  see our heads they are only about 1.5 feet from the side of the hill!!!

It appears as thought we will be hunting from camp ? Or is there some hunting with in a good walk from the camp.  maybe we could walk in on the ATV trails ? The only reason I ask is it appears that I will sleeping in the back of the truck (set up super comfy) and will have canopy for the remainder of my stuff. Can also bring the old honda to drag out Robs deer if needed.

[robslifts]

man you guys are great  cant you leave a poor guy alone    yes there will be hunting within walking distance from camp!!!!!

[AnointedArcher]

But you won't need a Honda for Robs deer, actually just bring a match and make a small fire and I mean small fire, hold the deer over the flames for about 30 seconds per side add a couple buns and some ketchup and you can take the whole thing home in a couple bites      

[robslifts]

sure is tender though          

[AnointedArcher]

Yes sir it sure did taste good
