RE: Deer Camp
I hunt private property in Texas. . .so the owner/friend determines the group. In my case our camp is a large double wide mobile home, sleeps 12. So during the big weeks, Turkey day and Xmas the camp was full. . .group meals, lots of beer around the campfire at night. Plenty of heckling when someone brings in undersized trophies or makes a poor shot. Lots of help tracking, skinning, cooking etc.
Yes it can be lots of fun. . .but my favorite times are when I am there alone for a day or 2. The peace and quiet is a nice change from regular life.
