The Deer Camp

Coming into Brown's Point deer camp.

Lake in front of the deer camp.

Front of deer camp house. 

When we were members our room was up the stairs to the right facing the north side porch.  It has a full bath and 1/2 bath on the outside perimeter.

Gotta love this sign on the kitchen wall!

Bob with old hunting buddy, Craig Poche.  Behind on wall is the sign off of the fish camp house that is located north of the camp called, THISIT.  The fish camp is now in a deteriorating stage.  Bob and I had spent a couple of nights there back in the late 80's.

Bob with another hunting buddy, Dr. Poche, who is now a retired optometrist from the New Orleans area.

Dr. Poche and I.  Dr. Poche is 88 years old now and he still LOVES and LIVES to hunt.  I hope I will still be hunting when I turn 88!

Topo map of approximately 2,000 acres with deer stands marked by numbers only adjacent to MS River.

Garden on the north side of the camp house

ATV storage, shower and fish cleaning area to the right side.

Stable that was used for horses but now houses more ATV's.

Nothing quite like a hunting camp:). And I'm with you I hope I'm still hunting at 88 like Dr. Poche!!!

Thanks Main Line Sportsman and Joe...I had a flood of great/happy memories when I walked back into the main area of living/dinning/kitchen area. It still had that very distinctive smell that I remembered so well. :)

Marian - My mom's second husband was a member at Brown's Point in the 80s. My sister and I would come up there and hunt, fish, and ride 3-wheelers. I shot my first deer there and my sister shoved my whole head in the cavity. Great memories. I am assumings its stil an active camp.

Thanks
Alan.

Alan - Bob is my second husband and taught me all about deer hunting and was fortunate to get to go to Brown's Point. What was your mother's name or her second husbands name...it might ring a bell with Bob..I enjoyed going there and got several deer plus two nice 8 pts. Yes, it is still an active camp.
