OK Swampy...this will be picture intensive. We spent last year from February through September building our new main hunting camp facility.

Here's some external views of the new camp.

5 of us bought this double wide about 10 years ago & it's right across the driveway from the main camp. The skinning shed with walk in cooler is beside it.

Here's our back porch where I enjoy a cup of coffee or 2 in the morning.

Our view from our back porch. As you can see we have a bow range out the back for 20, 25, & 30 yards and the porch has plenty of elevation for treestand type practice.

Needless to say...I don't miss the comforts of home while at the camp. :D

Hey Rhino....you forgot pictures of your manicure/pedicure chairs...that's a home not a hunting camp! :D

Hunting camp isn't hunting camp until you look up from eating your Wheaties and see some old man sitting on the toilet! :D

Well that's happened on occasion when the water pipes froze and when we've had problems with our rural water service.

Ahhhhh...but in the early days of my duck hunting we had this shack back in the marsh off the Mississippi River. It was about 3 miles from the Gulf. Only access was by boat heading generally east ~3 miles from Venice, LA. I think these pics were taken during 1978 and 79. A storm destroyed it in 1980. No power, no water, & all outdoor rest room facilities. It's nothing more than a 8'x20' plywood & 2x4 shack. 2 rooms 8x8 for cooking & 8x12 bunk room with 2 wooden bunk beds. Even I was too tall at 5' 8" to stand up on one side without my head hitting the ceiling. Come a long way since then.

This was a cool idea and it is neat to see other camps. I love visiting all of the deer camps in our area. Here are a few pics of our hunting cabin. For some reason I can't find more pics from the inside of it. Must be on my other computer. The pic with the snow in it is of our sauna/bathhouse.

This is our camp. Located on 63 acres in NY's southern Catskill Mountains.

We have 2 mobile homes on it, but only my house is the "Hunting camp":yes:.

This is Horn corner.

The best part about my deer camp is that it is ONLY 62 miles away from my house. So, we are up there just about every weekend. It has been a very special place to my 3 sons growing up. It is where they all got their outdoor wings so to speak.

here's my photobucket album of my buddy's and my camp up in the UP, Mi. it use to be an old logging camp until my buddy bought it about 30 years ago. I've been going up for about 15 years and have been part owner for a little over 3 years. most of the addition was done with tear down materials from one of the partners construction company... I was able to get my boss to donate some scrap panels for the roof and siding. Still a lot of work to be done but can only get up there a couple times a year. The old part of camp runs on propane lights and the addition has battery powered lights hooked up to solar panels... hand crank pump for water supply. We also built a new outhouse a couple years ago, as well as a new sauna... ironically our old sauna caught fire while we were building the addition to the cabin... it was due for an update anyway.
