Well our hunt has come to a screeching halt! And with that, our whole 2011 season. The boats are in storage, the water lines are blown out and ask us if we are still in camp...heck no...we're in Florida!!
What a year it has been! A lot of good things came out of the hunt this year.
The boat hunt was an experiment that worked out well (see our information page on our website).
The second largest trophy our camp has recorded came in at 176 inches. Congratulations Wayne Durfy from Wisconsin!
Amelia Bolton holds the record for largest buck in our camp by one of our female hunters. Go girl!
Daniel Mlynarek took his first buck ever. However, we think dad, Rick, was even more excited about this one! And Mark Stewart took his beautiful first buck also!
Chad Racine got his biggest buck ever...what a spread on this one...25 inches! Way to go Chad!
Jean Martin hangs in there for 5 straight days of sitting from dawn to dusk. We are proud of you Jean...a beautiful 10 pointer! Retrieval after dark though, thanks a lot Jean!
'Everyone loves Verlyn'! It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. We are all happy for your extra large 10 pointer!
Mark from Quebec, bags one of the nicest bucks to ever come into our camp (see picture).
Mike Drexler tagged a very respectable 10 pointer on our experimental boat hunt. What an adventure, eh Mike??
Tom Johns did the real man hunt by going back into the bush to one of our furthest sites. Took a nice deer! Travis Caines followed a little later in the week to the same site, also took a nice buck! Now they are fighting over the site for next year!
And then there is Ron Horse Shoe Up His Butt Pagel, who takes a magnificent 10 pointer on his very first day. Long week for you Ron??
Sure nice to see Marv & Tim Carlson again after a few years of disappearing acts! And a couple of nice deer also! Did Regina buy you those quad lessons during the off season Timmy?? LOL
Check out the article on our website that Bob Barteck wrote about his hunting experience at Indian Point Camp. See you next fall Bob & friends!
It has been a great year and we are already looking forward to our next hunting season. Talking about the next hunt, it already looks good. The winter is half over and it has been very moderate so far. Only about 12 inches of snow, no extreme temperatures and the forecast is for very good deer weather. Preparations began immediately after the last hunt. We have been out scouting several of our properties and found out how we can improve your hunt. One thing we have to do is go further into the bush. We found good sign just about everywhere we went and the potential to develop several more sites. Approximately 15 to 20 miles of foot/quad trails will have to be cut and upward to 30 new sites to be developed. The majority of these new areas have never been hunted.You may want to hunt some of these new areas we are developing. Most of these new sites will require a quad or a bit of a trek by foot through the bush. Even some quad bridges will be built to get across creeks, but rest assured they will be safe for you, your quad and your trophy buck! We are talking seclusion here, but that is the direction that our hunt is going.
It all sounds like a lot of work, and it is, approximately 50 to 60 days in the bush, but we are up for it. To help out, we have just hired up a husband & wife team. She will help out with the cooking and cleaning and he will help with the fishing and hunting. He is a local and an avid hunter with a bow and rifle and he loves whitetail! They will both be a very good fit for the camp and we are excited to have them with us!
There is still time to book, but some of the weeks are filling up, i.e. the 3rd week of rifle. For the most part, it is a first come, first serve basis, so give us a call or email us about your hunt.
