I've often wondered about camping.
Work the entire year to accumulate time off to go live like a homeless person for 2 weeks and then spend money on over priced items to make your 2 weeks as comfortable as living at home.

You can’t shoot game from your couch.
Depends where you live and the position of your window in relation to.
Had a friend who got shot by his brother when in the position shown in the first pic. He had a deer on his shoulders and was resting against a log when his brother shot the deer and struck his brother in the neck.
I love those old magazines and the memories they arouse.

Wait. What? I haven't seen those yet!
lol my brother is totally one of those types. Has an RV. Has (well had, due to covid) a year-round campsite just across the border in Birch Bay area (an RV campground where everyone gets a rectangular site and your neighbors are 10' away). Spends almost every weekend there. It makes no sense to me.
Alternatively, my family camps all the time, but our RV is a beat to #### tent trailer a neighbor gave us for free, and we either bush camp off FSR's or go to BC Parks campsites where you at least have some space between you and the next person and there is a feeling of being in the wilderness, rather than feeling like you're in a parking lot.
OP Thanks for sharing the magazine covers. I'm far to young to have seen most of them, especially because I didn't grow up in a hunting household.

This ^^. The back deck in your housecoat also works. Neighbours are half mile away...
He did not survive. He was killed instantly and his brother discovered this when he went to collect his deer. It was truly an accident and a tragic one, at that. The shooter saw only a deer. In reality, there were two lives lost, it just took a few years for the second one to become official.
I have often carried deer out over my shoulder but I always cover it with a red space blanket before shouldering it.

I started to carry a fresh sheep kill off a mountain with one leg over each shoulder...until the sheep ticks started crawling down my back...damn sheep got drug through whatever was on the ground after that...even tho a buddy picked all the ticks off me , I could still imagine feeling them crawly buggers for a week afterwards.
Damn, you had to mention it. Been there - done that.
Now I have the heeby geebys just thinking about it.
Today's generation would quickly lose interest. Even lack of cell phone coverage freaks them out. LOL

Grizz, you are completely correct. Where the cell service runs out is where my playground begins.
I’m regard to carrying game out, I’ve never done it. Once it hits the ground, that’s where it stays. I drag mine out with a nylon rope, drug one doe 1.7 kilometres. I had someone suggest carrying it on my shoulders, I said yeah, carry a deer around in the woods in hunting season. They went oooh, yeah, that could end poorly. See above story for reassurance. Sad story.
