Ask hunters about their favorite season and many will describe the camp before the hunt.
Warm sleep
Nothing ruins a hunt faster than a cold, sleepless night. Good bags and pads come first.
Good food
A hot breakfast before dawn and a big dinner after dark keep spirits high. Camp cooks earn legendary status.
Simple traditions
The same breakfast every opening morning, the same story every year and the same photo at the truck tie seasons together.
Good company
The right people make camp. Hunters who share chores, respect each other’s hunts and laugh at the bad days are the ones invited back.
