VTbowman Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Its that time of year. Once again we pose the question. Do you go to Beer Camp or Deer camp. I do a bit of both. My house is my camp, and my brothers now too, so we hunt hard all day and drink beer after hours. Although I have gone away to camp and it turned out to be more a time away from the wife and kids, to do some beer drinking, and road hunting. I still went out on stand but most did not. I prefer Deer camp with a few brews after hours... Whats your bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherguy Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? Deer camp for me since i don't really drink very often. Some of the guys have a drink or 5 in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? A little of both. A couple years ago it was REALLY a beer camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? You mean you dont drink beer inpreperations for the winter????? Thats how I keep warm on stand. It fattens me up nicely for those extra layer of "winter padding" as my wife calls it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? I like Beer as much as the next guy, but I like Deer hunting even more. I' ll have a beer or 3 after hunting, but being able to get up in the morning with a clear head is a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? I go to deer Camp! At night i drink a couple! If someone happens to make a harvest!

Guest Colorado Bob Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? Can't say for whitetails. But at my elk camp---it's hard hunting. You get up at 4 AM to be at your stand before 1st lite---then your out till dark & hike back in the dark. By the time you get back to camp--your bone tired. You have a little supper, start the woodstove & hit the rack. To do it all over again the next day. After the season is over or if you get a bull----then I may have a Cold Coors.

pa_sportsman Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? I hunt with people who may have a couple in the evening, especially if a pool table is nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gt2003 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? I get a little carried away once I start drinking beer so I generally don't drink the evening before a hunt. After a long days hunt I may drink a couple but not any more than that if I'm hunting the next day. I prefer to feel good and be able to have a clear mind when I hunt.

buckee Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? Deer camp for me too... I might have a couple beer if it's there, but it's not really on my list of priorities for deer camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billygoat Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? Deer camp! There's other time to play, of course being from the cheese head state, I will never turn down a cold one, especially on Sunday's during the Packer game, or Saturday's during Badger games (waiting by the truck), or Monday's and Tuesday's during Buck's games, Wendsdays.... Hmmm.... maybe it is a little beer camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntn4bucks Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: Beer Camp or Deer Camp? Since all of my hunting property is within driving distance, I don't have to camp out. Thus, my home is my deer camp and my beer camp! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
