As far as the comradarie goes, yes that's a big part of hunting for sure but walk into any deer camp where they haven't killed a buck (or even seen one)after a week of hard hunting and tell me how happy the follks are there.....you'll hear a lot of grumbling and complaining.
With a good many hunters the complaining starts well BEFORE they ever get to deer camp!! I tell you, I've had the misfortune in meeting some doozies in the complaining department! They would put the crankiest old women to shame.
