How many of you participate in a "deer camp" of some sort? Is your camp in a cabin or in tents? How long do you stay in camp? How did you form your group of hunters? Do you stay in the camp for the duration or do you go out for dinner in a neighboring town to restaurants? Do you cooperate in hunting or just go your separate ways? Do you share your deer meat, or does everyone keep the meat from his own deer?

I ask because I occasionally read of deer camps. These camps are described as being great experiences -- shared comraderie, good food, shared knowledge and wisdom, shared burden of work tasks. It sounds pretty enjoyable, but I have never had the pleasure of experiencing any deer camp. I usually stay at my mother-in-law's house and drive about 20 minutes to the hunting ground. Not deer camp in any traditional sense of the term.

So, I'm interested in hearing some of your descrptions and tales from deer camp, since I have not had this experience.
