Just curious what everyone is using for they're hunting camp this season. I'm probably going to be tenting it this year but I'm hoping to have a good outfitter tent ready to go for next season. Woodstoves are definitely nice when you get an early snowfall here in northern ontario. So everyone lets hear what you have and what you like and don't like about it.

The old family homestead that we've updated substantially since great grandpa built the first small section back around WW1. Powered via generator. We have a sauna for bathing. Outhouses for you know whating.

Like? Everything

Don't like? Hunting season seems to short

Portable garage "tent" with one end the side of an old steel shed.
A hole punched through the steel to take a stove pipe for the wood stove.
Homemade bunk beds in a "U" to sleep six.
Milk crates to make up a kitchen/cupboard/propane stove holder.
Geotextile on the floor.
Worked well for us for several years in zone 40.
Unfortunately, with the group size needed now, in WMU 40, we won't be going back there.
 
I have a 21' travel trailer on my 160 acres which stays up there year round,also built an outhouse.
The trailer works really well till I gets to about -15 or colder then the furnace works overtime keeping the scantly insulated trailer warm.
I am hoping to build a cabin of some sort up there one day.
 
For deer season, we have an old schoolhouse built in the early 1900's..

indoor pulmbing, electricity, 3 bedrooms with bunks.. 3 refrigerators.. one for beer and 2 for food.. a few extras like satellite dish with a 32" tv.. hoping to upgrade to 46" soon..

the only problem is getting the bastards i hunt with out in the morning because they stay up all night watching tv..
 
I sleep in the back of my 95 Nissan and day hike from the end of the road.

If I need the truck to go somewhere else to hunt I used to sleep in a tent I got for free from the thrift store in Port Hardy. I just replaced it with a $20.00 dome tent from the Stupid Store.

Father, is that you?

lol... yep that's how we "camp", minus the satelite.

There is usually only one that makes it out in the early morning cold , the rest sleep off our hangovers :D

I'm "that guy"... i go out in the sun, cold, wind, rain, snow, whatever...
i leave before sun up and come back after sun down..

the others come strolling out around 9 head back around 10 or 1030 for "lunch" and then back for the "afternoon" hunt.. this is usually anywhere from 4pm til dusk..

at least they always come out with the quad to help drag my deer out..

the vast collection of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne Movies at he camp doesn't help much either..

Oh yeah.. i just got my doe tag today

I've got a travel trailer I'm going to use until the snow starts to get deep in my hunting areas. Then I'll be changing over to the cableas Big horn 3 that I picked up last year. It's pretty good, it's huge, and it stays pretty warm with the stove. It's Damn heavy though! Wouldn't try backpacking it anywhere :)

Holy crap. MAke sure you take the screen out before you take the shots out the windows.:p

I won't get out many days this fall, being that my 7 month old is too young to take this year(maybe next?), but I'll be backpacking for the days I make it. Does that count as a hunt camp?
 
I'm jealous.
I don't have anything like these cabins or houses to hunt from.
I think they should be banned.
Oh sorry, there I go thinking like a Liberal again.
I keep forgetting why I left that party.
