You all use your cabins to base out of for hunting season ? Or memories that those ol places that still pull out a smile n and a happy thought.
They can sure provide a lot of great memories. Even if you don't hunt, it still feels great to get out, cabin time

Quit hunting 55 years ago. But still love punching holes in paper and plinking cans. But enjoy the hunting camp atmosphere. Male only and co-ed camps. From Everglades to Colorado.
Your right. Memories made as a youth still bring happiness today. Now, it my turn to help make memories for the younger generation.
Cabin Time!

We quit meat hunting long ago and were never into 'trophy hunting', then my wife Joyce took up video hunting with the big old vhs recorders. WOW, she got fantastic buck white-tails in the thick far back that we never would have seen because we we were used to taking the (often) 4 to 6 pointers who came out first.
I didn't miss the going out before dawn to slink into my stand (really a sit & wait), especially when it was cold and/or drizzly. Sleep in, casual breakfast by the woodstove....yeah, good off-grid cabin life. She'd come wandering in late morning to have some food and plan when & where to go to next. Id often go out too just to sit & see.
Many folks use the hunting seasons as their 'reason' to go to the woods, with a cabin we dont need a reason, we go whenever, its good therapy for the soul.
I grew up on a sand county sc Wisconsin farm running the fields and forests as my fantasy 'frontier' Ala Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, read Walden and A Sand County Almanac in high school (both still with me) and handbuilt my 1st off-grid cabin at age 30 in 1983-84 by recycling the farm's 1897 barn. It was one of the best things Ive ever done and I think an expression of a deeper me. At least I feel like it is a deeper me when there. Fortunately my wife of 46yrs is of similar stock, we pasture well there.

I hunt at my cabin..does that make it a hunting camp? For a few years now the only time I have pulled the trigger was with a buck in front of my scope. No sight in and no practice. I have been prety sucessful. Even helped a good friend get his first deer in almost 30yrs.

Hunt grouse at ours. Just put up a tree stand this year and am going to give deer hunting a go though it may be a little iffy with a water access cabin if we get an early freeze in MN
