Deer camp traditions

[Outdoors Junkie]

Who wants to share some of your Deer Camp traditions?


Ours are nothing too exciting. We play cards and have a couple beer most nights (usually play 31 for nickels).  We each throw in $4 in a pot for the biggest buck (winner gets their name on our trophy).  The opening morning my dad and I make pancakes for everyone. The rookies are on dish washing duty.

not sure about traditions, but its a family thing opening weekend, with an occasional friend of someone if there's room. we limit the group to 6 at most.

this year friday nite my brother is frying fish for supper. usual tradition, in particular for meals, my brother does breakfast thats usually some sort of venision sausage.i cook supper and the tradition since dad passed away has been venision neck roast with corn, hashbrowns and stove top. thats sat nite. sunday nite is my world famous italian spagetti. my kid and i sit in stands all day the first 2 days.

and like your group the youngins get dish duty! typically weather permitting someone starts a campfire, have refreshments prior to feasting then straight to bed. OH and listening to all the  stories of the day!!!!!!!!

Not really tradition.....but making memories...
Like I said before, I'm first generation deer hunter in our family....
But, the kids come home both weekends to hunt and spend some time together. During the week, I process deer and hunt when I can. It's a great time to hang with the kids, have some drinks and food &

This will be our second full season at "Camp Near and Deer" so we still have yet to establish a "tradition".  Mostly sit around and talk deer talk.  Depending on who is there we spend some time looking at the map and deciding where we plan to go in the morning.  No one makes breakfast so if you want something, just grab a roll or two. Closest thing to a tradition is cooking sausage on the grill for lunch.

No but I have been thinking about making some and giving them a try.  Already gave up on the Pine Sap idea!

LOL  We bought some pasties a couple of weeks ago.  Not bad but kind of dry.  We decided the next time we will make gravy to put on them.  That will help lots.

I go and shoot deer and make sausage. We usually get it done before we break camp that Friday.
