Going to the deer lease in Jack county was big family event when I was a kid. We would go for the first 9 days of the season every year, and that was our whole season. 2 grandparents, 4 in my family, 4 in my uncles family, 3 in another uncles family, plus 4 family friends. The 'main' camp was a pop-up with pullouts, with a small tv that worked sometimes if the foil was pointing in the right direction (usually only turned it on to try and get the weather forecast). Can still remember bacon or backstrap frying on the propane stove. One small electic heater, also still remember condensation that would form above the bed in the mornings (dad would get ticked off if you touched it and made it drip). Unles family's either had vans (it was the early 70's) or camper shells on the pickups. It wasn't until years later that the family friends started bringing an RV. We hunted that lease for 25 years, some of my fondest childhood memories.

First "deer camp" was a tent. The night before opening day, we got six inches of snow. The tent collapsed on us. Spent the rest of the night in my buddy's car.

I still stay in a tent at my place. The other places I hunt have very nice accomodations. Some better than the house I live in.
