Ed joined a hunting club this year. He has spent the last several months getting everything ready for hunting season. They have 700 acres that they can hunt on. Ed has two tree stands to hunt from. There are 11 guys who belong to the club. There are 6 campers set up down there, ours included. This weekend, Ed and I went down. It was the first time I saw it.
This is a picture of the smoker they built to smoke their kill.
This is the "club house". It sits out near the road. There are beds in it and a small kitchen. The people who used this land as a hunt club before us, used this as their place to sleep. At one time it was a small county store. The trees on this property are planted in rows and from what I understand it was once a cotton plantation. There is one other house on the property and several chimneys.
This is the back of the other house. The floor in this one is rotted out so you cant go in it. At the back of the house the guys built a place to skin the deer. There is a sink to wash and some lights to see in case it is dark.
This weekend was primitive weapon season. This is a picture of the wild boar that one of the guys got. No one else saw any deer, but the same guy that got this boar, saw 4 bear this morning walk right passed his tree stand, 2 cubs, mama bear and another one that were 50 yards away!
This is one of the two tree stands that Ed and Eddie have.
This is the HUGE fire ring that is shared by everyone. Behind the fire ring you can see another camper and one of the chimneys on the land.
There as a water leak there this weekend, so Ed and Fred are trying to find the leak. I love this picture with the sign that says "kids at play"!
Several of the guys spent several hours fixing the leak, and when we went to bed at 11pm last night, it still was not done.
Ed put up a pole with a light on it and some electric outlets. It makes it alot easier to see at night!
This is our camp site. Ed put a deck on it because the ground is pretty muddy when it rains, no grass. With the camper set up all the time, it is easy to get everything ready when you get there. Only takes about 15 minutes instead of an hour!
