Your video is what dreams and memory are made of that last for ever ..
Yep.. and that's all that is left now.. I so miss that deercamp!
I too was born a Michigander . I miss it all much! My Mom moved my siblings and myself to Texas when I was 12 and I have never managed to move back . I am still trying ! My visits just make me miss it more .Sweet video .
Same here Toni!
Hi, i live in the U.P. of Mi.and i love it here. If i were you, id never be able to leave and go back! The winters are brutal -30° and 4 feet of snow. Go ice fishing and snowmobiling i guess. Im 61 now and cant take the cold like i used to, but still love it here. No crime, no hustle and bustle = perfect! revved up
I miss our deer camp so much more now that mom and dad have passed on... Truly wonderful people...
Lever action guns and deer camp. Life don’t get better than that.
It was a wonderful time of life..
We are on cable lake road north of Amasa. Hoosier Club. I am one of six owners and although we are older we like deer camp for the memories. A piece of heaven on earth. Thanks for posting.
We are thinking about buying the birchview cabin back!
Memories of deer camp are wonderful to have. I didn't grow up in a deer hunting family, but got into it on my own. Many happy memories with my kids and friends. Don't shoot deer much anymore, but still go out with family every year. Mainly I became the cook and butcher helper. Thanks for sharing this video of your family memories.
I keep seeing videos of deer camps and I am amazed at how they differ from the deer camp I hunted in back in the 60's. It was built on the site of an old homestead where nothing remained but the stone fireplace. The deer camp was built around that fireplace and it was the only heat for the camp. It also served as a place to cook meals, but some of the hunters did use an old pump up Coleman stove. Light was provided by pump up Coleman lantern or candles. The beds were all bunk beds made of rough cut lumber and covered with a thin mattresses like one used in military boot camp. There were enough sleeping accommodations for 10 people. No electricity, no indoor plumbing, and no insulation in the walls. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!
Snicks camp was like that when I first went there in 1979 and for the most part is still rustic-like today. Our camp Birchview started out as a lean-to and a small travel trailer. By the time I got to our camp in 2004 for deer season Mom and Dad had already built the second half of the cabin replacing the travel trailer, built the barn, put in propane gas & a generator and indoor plumbing. In 2011 my brother David and I stayed at Snicks cabin because we had a camp full at our Birchview cabin.. All of the time spent at deer camp are some of my fondest memories.
Great video, love the narrator!
Had to "live the dream" deer hunting here in Texas this year but I did make it up to the U.P. in October 2012. The fall color in that part of the country is second to none and it was peaking when we were there in 2012.
Almost 12 yrs later hope everyone is doin well,, nothin like Goin to camp!!!!
Time marches on and leaves those great times at deer camp in its wake...
Beautiful family camp videos.
I enjoyed this video a lot, thank you for sharing
You are very welcome! I so miss deer camp now but am so thankful we had those time up in the U.P.!
What a wonderful camp and video!
Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada. 28 hour drive, wow! Nice place.
Howdy from Texas!
nice deer camp. its nice your family gets up there to. good luck this season.
I could not agree more with Michigan man about deer hunting in the UP.. If we can find any smoked fish that late in the season it's one of my favorite treats along with maple syrup and candies... My mom makes her own pasties but we have always called them pot pies.. Being able to share this with friends and family is the gift that keeps on giving..
Awesome memories
@@mikekleven8130 Four years ago today (27th of September) my dad passed away and is the one person that made all the memories of deer camp possible.. I sure do miss my kind and forgiving father..
Priceless times good luck getting every one together again sure looked like fun thanks have a great day be safe.
You are right about "Priceless Times" It's all just memories now!
I was born a Michigan Yankee but living most of my life in Texas has thinned my blood so I can take the heat but no so much the cold anymore!
Nice video, seeing this makes me wish that I had done the same thing over the years at deer camp.
Love this video! This is deer camp.
It sure is! and it's all in the history book now.. last time up was in 2012 about this time of the year. Beautiful fall colors.
I've dreamed for years of a cabin in the woods like that. I need to get off my ass!!
love Texas... and love this video....i always dreamed to hunt our UP... I live in michigan..
Good luck this year! You will be passing by me i live in central Wis!
enjoyed this very much ! john lamb from N.Y.
Live right here in Michigan and ill never leave!
good video!
Great video
Deer camp means so much more to me now that both parents have passed. They made deer camp a memory of a life time.
@Thebigbuzzlightyear Yes we fish Michigan as often as possible! Deer camp and that part of the country is very special.
I'm a michigan man that now lives in houston. Last year was the first year I missed deer season at our camp in lewiston michigan. Its been in our family since the 50s and has been updated and added on to over the years. This is what deer hunting is all about. Shooting a deer is nice but being surrounded by friends and family is always better. We play alot of euchre to pass the time and well drink. I'm suprised you didn't eat any pasties.
@JacobHanna13 Most of the bucks have small horns but the body size is tremendous. I think the deer in that part of the country dress-out on average at about 150 lbs so live weight is nearing 200 lbs!. The big buck I shot in 1979 dressed out at 187 lbs and that was after hanging in camp for nearly a week.. In all the years since I've not seen any one take a bigger buck.. and yes it was probably beginners luck but I was very prepared and determined back then..
Awesome video! Just curious, did you ever score them antlers from that buck you shot in the late 70's in the Yoop? Some monsters shot back than.
@JacobHanna13 No I didn't but we had two bucks on the pole, a nice six point on the second morning and a spike on Friday am before they all left camp for the year. I did shoot a nice Texas 8 point in late November. see my other videos for proof..
I really enjoyed the pictures, and music on this video. Wished I could edit as good as you do.
What type of camera did you use? and where can I get a collection of music, similar to yours.
Good Job keep it up. Gary
living the dream
I love fishing the net river!
So do I!!! but its 1300 miles from where I live in Texas.. :(
Got to be careful tho I hit some rocks with my boat near the boat landing.
Family time and hunting. Nothing can top that but maybe a little fishing. Speaking of fishing have you done any up there? I had to start a new channel I use to be zat50057. Something went terrible wrong with that channel. So I started a new one. We've talked about Somerville lake before. My in-laws live right next to birch creek. Have fun!
photos and video using a Canon Powershot sx20 IS. Editing done on an apple iMac with iMovie all music is with the iMac iMovie iLife suite of programs.
WE'LL LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YA ..............................
Is it near Split Rock? I used to go to a friends camp east of there.
Our camp was about a hundred miles to the east of Split Rocks near Crystal Falls and closer to Amasa.
@@FishTales-Reel-Life-Adventure ?...Split Rock is about 3 miles south of Crystal Falls.
@@anton1949 dang.. Google steered me to the wrong split rock ;)
I am moving from Texas To North Michigan next spring. I am ready to get out of the oven.
From the oven of the Texas summer to the fridge of a Michigan winter!
@@FishTales-Reel-Life-Adventure Yes this is what I am finding out. It looks like an igloo. However, I can always find ways to warm up to cool off there, but here there is nothing I can do even if I wear light clothes. I had a heat stroke working in the garden this year. What did it for me is when I saw a rabbit so skinny and dehydrated. Then I thought how can I ever feed myself when he himself can barely stay alive?
@@brigittederoch You are right! there is no escaping the Texas heat only option is to endure it! I'm so thankful for the times we had at our Michigan deer camp.. hard to believe it's been ten years (2012) since I was there last.. Both mom and dad passed away in 2017 but before they died they made the good and happy memories happen for all of us. So very blessed.. Best of luck and I know you will enjoy life in Michigan!
I have a remote snowmaqchine only cabin near a Pike lake.
sounds very nice!
Where u from in Texas? I live in San Antonio now.. but I'm from Michigan n hunted there for yrs... N have family in the u.p. (true Yoopers)..lol wld love to go back n hunt up there again....
Aggieland! Bryan, Texas to be specific moved here in 1971 from around the Lansing area (Mason). My Folks retired and became Michigan snowbirds for almost thirty years so all of our vacation times were spent in Michigan. This video was made leading up to the last trip for me to our Birchview deer camp in 2011. Those times in camp have made a lasting impression on all who made it up there.
That's to bad that u haven't been back up there since... I grew up in Grand rapids Michigan n have family in Sault at. Marie mi.. I grew up hunting in Greenville mi
Thanks for the stories. I guess your daughter is probably married with kids. How's the camp now?
Married yes.. kids no :( Both Mom and Dad passed away in 2017 and that pretty much put an end to our Michigan adventures up at the deer camp.. good memories are what we have now.. Camp would not be the same without my folks..
@@FishTales-Reel-Life-Adventure I'm sorry for your loss. You will hang on to those memories.
Great photos and memories that's for sure-- could have done without the music.
can't go back.. that's for sure...
HOWDY FROM CRYSTAL FALLS TWP!
Sure do miss those trips to deer camp.. Mom and dad have both passed and that pretty much put an end to our time up at the Michigan deer camp "Birchview"
I don't know why it put my wife's name on it - should be Jim Holmes. Julie has no interest in deer hunting.........
Keep Texas out of the Great north!!!
The Pure Michigan campaign might have a very different take on your comment Stephen ;) Thanks for watching !
Man yall are cheating
Living the best life!
