4 Years of Snow Camp Outdoors!

It just hit me today as I was thinking about my hunting past, on November 28th, 2015, Snow Camp Outdoors has been up for 4 years!  This year, while I didn't post an overwhelming amount, I saw one post get used by the RMEF for their youth newsletter!  One of my favorite posts was one I did very recently, when I wrote about Mom's first hunt with me!

Summer Fun

During the summer, it's useful to put out some camera's along with some time in the woods looking for sign and all.  If your lucky, you might even see a fawn.  By now though, most fawns are able to go with their mother wherever she goes.  But here are some things to do during the summer:

• Swimming: Swimming is a great way to have fun and exercise as well!
• Fish: Everyone knows how great fishing is, need I say more?
• Scouting: It's a cliche, but it's always useful.  The cool thing about this time of year is you get to see what time and where those fawns are out with their mom and how big those bucks antlers are getting! I've been lazy so far and I want more pictures of Missy and her new fawns!
• Management: Predator management anyone?  Not to mention habitat and deer herd management (seeing what bucks are there, which to target/take, how many does to take, if any.  And so on).  But not just deer.  Out west, it's elk (or pronghorn!) management!  If your up north, that could include moose as well!

There are many more things I could mention, such as: treestand placement/maintenance, target shooting, bow tuning, sighting in a scope, setting up mineral sites, trail cameras, and more!

With all this mentioned, have fun!

Independence Day

The Fourth of July is one of the most celebrated holidays in America.  And rightly so.  But, amidst of all the fireworks, some might lose sight of the importance of this day.

The year is 1776, and the 13 American Colonies have started to fight against Britain.  The Continental Congress, with Thomas Jefferson doing the most of the writing, wrote the Declaration of Independence, stating our, well, declaration of independence from England.  They explained the reasons why they wanted independence and addressed certain grievances that the colonists had against the king.  The Congressmen signed the document on July 4th, 1776.  On July 8th, as the Declaration was being read, bells sounded in joyous harmony marking the birth of a nation!  But, the new country still had a war to wage, and trials fought through, and independence won.  In 1783, it finally came to pass after the surrender at Yorktown.

That is why we celebrate, to mark another year our nation has stood.  But it can only stand as long as we help it to.

Happy New Year

Happy new year to everyone from Snow Camp Outdoors!
