Commentary: Hunting at deer camp is optional

Why do you go to deer camp? It could be to kill a deer, but that’s not why I go.

My gun rarely comes out of the case. It hasn’t been fired on the last two trips to Whiskey Chute Hunting Camp in far south Phillips County.

No, deer camp is about the fellowship, not the hunting. My wife is just fine with that. I made the mistake one year by killing a deer. She warned on my four-hour trip home that there was no place to put the meat.

We have a meat freezer in the basement now.
