Shrewhaven part 2,pg 1- TV show of camp,old stories/pics pg 5/6

[Ray Lyon]

I'll ask the moderators to give this link a little leeway with content. This is the second time (1998 camp) that the Upper Peninsula, Michigan TV show called "Discovering" has come to our camp to film the traditions of hunting camp. They feature our camp for 2/3 of the show (about 24 minutes, so get a good cup of coffee).  Ron LaClair does both his Armstrong Creek Ghost poem and his Shrewhollow diddee.  They show two of us shooting our bows for practice (I'm the guy on the front porch shooting the yellow and orange fletch arrows and a 1971 Super Kodiak).  More importantly, the host is trying to capture why deer camp is so sacred to the Upper Peninsula on a show that's more than just about hunting. The host, Brian, has just taken over for 30 year veteran Buck Lavasser who taped the show at our camp in 1998.  I think the show is in good hands with Brian. He's well spoken and he was a treat to have in camp.  He spent 4-5 hours at our camp getting to know us and taping.  Based on the footage, I'm sure it took him a whole week to put it together.  

If you watch it and like it and are a facebook person, please like it there.  It would be great to give this kind of show some extra publicity, because it's just the kind of PR that we need for our sport.

Cheers

How stinking cool is this?... Way!!!.... I'm saying!!!!

Thank you for sharing this with us.

It's most likely the closest I'll ever get to participating in "Shrew Haven".

I used it to help some friends of mine gain a little insight into who I am and what it is that is a large part of what helps make me tick.

I really appreciate Ron and the "Shrew Haven" members opening up to Real Outdoors so the rest of the world can at least get some exposure and maybe even generate some interest in trying something like this for themselves and/or their families as well.

Thanks again!!

God bless,Mudd

Reminds me of our Straight 8 Lodge in far NW Wisc.  The guys have been together in that hunting shack since their early 20's - they are all now in their early to mid 70's.  The camaraderie of deer camp has kept them friends all these years.  Their children (me 50yrs old) and their grandchildren are now enjoying the North woods experience today. Nothing better!
