Leaving in the morning for a weekend at camp/deer camp. No four wheeler this trip, I have to replace the connector on my trailer.

Still looking forward to the tent and cot, scouting, canned beef and canned taters for lunch tomorrow, Mountain House Chili-Mac for dinner, a few cold beers, and just being in the woods!

Saturday, up before dawn, boil water, quick cup of coffee, then sit for a few hours watching a swamp. 9am BF break. More coffee and some corned beef hash. Walking the back ridge and re-working natural ground blinds. Lunch about 1pm, Hormel beef stew! Afternoon cutting wood to dry for deer camp. Just to be safe, maybe setting up the tarp over the tent as Sunday is calling for rain. Adjust natural blind near camp, Mountain House Spaghetti  for dinner, then more cold beers and a couple rounds of chess.

Yeah, no fancy steak meals on this trip, too much work to get done in daylight hours.

In two weeks, bacon wrapped steak, fire cooked baked taters, and corn on the cob.

No, no popcorn. I am not a big fan and neither is my buddy. He's bringing trail mix and I am just taking nacho chips as a snack. But, I am thinking of taking a few green tomatoes from my garden and cooking them up in foil for supper o Saturday. Not the best way to cook them, but sometimes you have to improvise.

Gonna be a long weekend alone in the woods with your buddy and you never know what's gonna happen!

 

You guys could stumble upon a tribe of naked bush bimbos infected with HIV and have to fiddle fudge your way out of a bad situation,lol

Beer is key here...

No need for condoms and no hookers with diseases. Not sure how you camp wooly, but um, I now know enough to not invite you camping.

:mda:

 

We set up camp, cut up more fire wood, and then took a break. Then I headed out to look an area over for deer sign. I got back to camp and tested out some shotgun ammo. Then the beer drinking began.

We ate good but nothing great on this outing. Next trip will be great food.

 

Saturday I got up and did a little more scouting, grabbed some breakfast then we took a drive around Sacandaga Lake. After supper my friend the owl paid us a visit. I got a picture but it's bad. Camera on my phone isn't so great.

Took a picture of one of the many gnarly trees around the area. We got up the morning after over sleeping ( too much beer last night ), and took everything down and cleaned up.

 

It was a good weekend, but I did miss not having my four wheeler to drive down to the creek to wash up. Buy the time I walked back up the hill I was sweating and wondering what the point was.

What's with the Bud Light Lime beer, I thought you said there were no chicks going?

 

:mosking:

 

 

 

Just bustin' nads..........don't get all wadded up.

 

Looks like a great time.  Probably a tad on the cool side at night?  Awesome!!

No waddin up here Law. I am the chubby guy in the black shirt. I brought some Busch Light I had hanging' around, regular Bud, and some Saratoga Lager. If you can get that lager in your area try it, it's pretty good.

 

I was fine at night. Buddy had a heavy sweatshirt on sitting around the fire, I was in my tee-shirt and not cold. Sleeping I was a bit warm for me. It was around 55 so that's not bad. My sleeping bag is rated to 20, and I was sweating. I usually have a warm blanket as a back up but forgot it, that would have been enough for me. Buddy was in a 20 degree sleeping bag ( so he says ) and still slept in a sweat shirt. Not sure what he's gonna do opening weekend of the NZ deer season.

 

Scouting was a little on the depressing side. Not much sign so far. They are seeing does with fawns, but no bucks. Not a lot of tracks either. But, across the road they leveled about 80 acres of trees. For some reason, I have a bad feeling about that. Though, I have to say, we never really had birds ( the garden variety ) down in the camp area before. A crow here and there, Blue Jay once in a while, but not all them little buggers that make a ruckuss all day. This trip they were all over the place. Some chipmunks too.
