Deer camp opens on Thursday, 9/5/13. It's meet-up time in Cleveland National Forest for the five guys, plus my eight year old son Gabriel, who will be at deer camp this year. There's David, Jon, Dane, Toby and myself. I met David and Jon while shooting at the archery tournaments during the off-season. Both shoot traditional bows. I enjoy shooting with David and his family. For that matter, I also enjoy shooting with Jon and his family. Jon is a very good shot and a fun person. I reserved a spot at the same campsite we stayed at last year.
I created an organizational chart for this year's deer camp. Last year was great, but we ended up with lots of the same things. This was wasteful. I'd like to assign specific items to each of us so that we don't bring too many of the same things, and not enough of other things. I'll try to insert or attach the final chart to this blog.g.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of last year's deer camp was the food and meals we shared. David introduced most of us to the Scotch Eggs that Rebecca made for camp. They were a great fast and efficient breakfast. You have the hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage and bread crumbs -- a complete breakfast. The dinner made by Manuel and Froilan were legendary. Manuel brought the private wwreserv e wine and Froilan cooked the hell out of the Filet Mignon. i; The gourmet desert topped off a meal to remember.
Ok, but this year we got Toby. Toby is one of the main reasons that I still hunt. We have hunted every year together since we met in 1995-96. Toby can cook...and he can also eat.. but boy can he burn. He watches the Cooking Network as much as Lauryn. I don' t think we need worry about our culinary well being. Toby won't act as though he wants to invole himselc too much, but he can't stand watching things being done incorrectly or at a lower standandard than he is accustomed. He'll pitch in for sure.
