This thread makes me sad. We were in a club in Twiggs county for over 20 years and just lost it to some guy out of Atlanta who makes solar panels. Our club manager and a few other guys had it lined up to buy it at a certain price and the old hags from Wisconsin that owned it sold it out from under them.

We still have the old house at the Taliaferro lease that I posted in the OP.
This year I leased another small tract in Putnam County near our lake property.
So I am gonna post up a pic of it since it will serve as a deer camp at times during the season.lakehouse closeup.jpg

heres a few pics of the camp Im blessed to get invited to each November. It on the south Magnetawan river near the Naganosh lake provincial park in Ontario. Its a days boat ride up a river from the nearest road. Everything seen in the camp was brought up river by john boats and carried over a 1/2 mile Portage around a huge set of rapids and a waterfall. well except for the narrow gage RR wheels , they found them in the river

What are all the cups/bowls on the table with what appears to be duct tape on them for?

The last night in Camp we do a drawing to help raise a little camp money each year for improvements for the next year . Every one in camp brings a few items to donate, they then sell tickets and put a cup by each item. You put ticket stubs in the cup then they draw a stub from the cup to see who wins the item.. first three years in camp I didn't win but a few items., last year I won a bunch of stuff. After each item is won we all have a drink. its really fun and twards the end of it every one is kinda drunk and laughing their butts off. Its a hoot.

A few more I ran across in an old photo album. Too bad we didn't have smart phones back in the 70s n 80s to snap pics at deer camp.

When the boys were growing up my wife would always take a pic of us headed out the opening day of archery season. This one is from around '90. Fun times!

Gave both boys their first 'real' bow when they were 12 n 13. This is a pic of youngest son's bow on his 12th birthday. A Martin Lynx from Dan Quillian's Archery Traditions shop.

Didn't take him long to connect on his 1st whitetail. This was a Sunday after church. We got home and he said he was headed behind the house to hunt. Within an hour I heard him hollering. Another great memory.

This was 1994. Not sure why I remember this date so well but I had hung a new stand on the club we were in and that morning I decided not to go hunting. Boys headed out and oldest son sat my stand and doubled up that morning.

We traveled to West Virginia each November to hunt with a buddy that had a cabin out in the middle of nowhere. It was near the forks of the Kanawha and Ohio rivers. Such a cool place with lots of memories over the years.
