I absolutely love this stuff. I run across them on Youtube once in a while, and when I do I'm usually stuck sitting there through the entire thing. Makes me miss a lot of the old guys I've known, even though those fellas are never in these old films.

I like watching those kinds of vids too. Makes me wish I lived in simpler times.

Any idea why they hang them like this? Never seen it before.

Pretty cool Brock.

Interesting. Thanks Brock

Dad always put their legs behind the antlers to drag them out. Their legs do not get caught on brush and are a lot easier to drag.

I always done the same whether buck or doe...

Brings back a lot of memories. Tradition is a powerful thing. Thanks for sharing Brock.

I wish I could go back in time and be a part of a deer camp.

You don't have to go back in time, you can just wait till Friday and just drive down to Stroud's.

First off, thanks so much for posting that video Brock. Watched the whole 47 minutes.
Absolutely heartwarming, and nice to slow down and have time to think while watching it, thinking about my memories at the same time.

I'd never seen this before and thought it was pretty cool - has anyone ever cut steaks like this? :



(I don't know how to capture a screenshot while watching the video, so I took a pic of it with my cellphone, that's why it looks less clear)

 

[brock ratcliff]

Yes, and running a saw through venison bone is a sin. Spreading the marrow through the meat greatly adds to the "gamely" flavor. You may like it. I cannot eat it. To me it is far too much of a good thing.

 

[Dannmann801]

I wonder if that was the norm back then, and maybe that's why venison has a "gamey" reputation.

That made my morning.
Thank you for the post. I thought of my grandfather the whole time. Those red/black wool coats and pants..
As the ending credits started I realized my face hurt... I had a big smile the whole time.

 

[brock ratcliff]

Dan, good question. I know a few folks that still do it. Many high volume processors do it, and I will never pay for their services.

Jim- glad you enjoyed it. Dad had that kind of gear when I was a kid. His coat always had hand warmers in the pockets. They were even in little red pouches.

I watched the rest of the video this morning. I would love to be a part of a deer camp like that. All the stories those walls could tell. Something very special.

There's no better thing than Deer Camp.

That video gives me chills.

I remember almost every moment of my youth in various PA Deer Camps, all the folk, and the stories.

The folks are long gone but the memories are within me forever.

Long Live Deer Camp.

DITTO!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video! Sure brought back some of my memories. Ron and I are blessed and we're blessed to be a part of several deer camps over the years! Almost every group of hunters scattered about in our area in the SE still have them! It's hard to top spending a week at deer camp with your buddies chasing deer,catching up,eating like kings and making more memories!

Can't wait to spend another week at the chicken house during the upcoming shotgun season!ickle:


Thanks for sharing that Brock! GREAT STUFF!!!

Oh, I liked how he cronicled it by each decade and enjoyed hearing the info in the building of the Mackinaw Bridge! Pretty cool!
