Goodbye Boys

My boys have left for deer camp- Wednesday afternoon they set off- just Steve II and I home- and he asked me " Mom, have you ever gone to deer camp?" whcih begins my post...
Yes, I have been to deer camp BUT never overnight!! and when dark falls I am eagerly waiting to go......

10 reasons that I do not go to deer camp
  1. It is cold- inside and out!!
  2. No electricty - in the past they offered me the generator- no thanks then I can see what is out there lurking
  3. No running water - hello ? No shower for 4 days? ICK
  4. Scary wild animals lurk in the dark -cougars, bear, coyote, and more! ( I have proof)
  5. No plans to go slave over the other men too
  6. miles from civilization
  7. 10x the # of burping and farting men - no thanks.
  8. I can't play poker
  9. Sitting for hours in a tree or blind just watching and waiting-I would be thinking and making lists and miss the shot for sure...give me idle time I make to - do lists or remember this! lists
  10. An outhouse in the dark? need I say more?

But on the other hand, I am envious and would love to .......1. be in the woods to take pics 2. listen to nature 3. enjoy campfires 4. have to snuggle with my honey to stay warm 5. get to see the wild life up close 6. see my boys in action ready for the hunt 7. be there to see them drag in their first kill 8. Laugh out loud with all their stories .........so would I ever go? YES

A 4 pt and a 5 pt were taken so far from guys at camp but not by my group. Hoping today will be THEIR day!

Steve II and I are heading north to check in on Grandpa (my dad) and deep clean his house. (he has been very sick for 2+ weeks and they still cannot figure out what it is? fevers, sweats, lost 12 lbs, no energy, high white count, high glucose and liver enzymes) More blood tests today, CT scan and dr appt Monday!! ugh.

Have a great weekend hope your hunters are lucky!!

I hope your dad gets feeling better soon! Nothing is worse than feeling crappy! I think I would have to agree with your reasons not to go to deer camp.
