walk in cooler and covered skinning rack.

 

Whiskey!

 

Fire pit

 

TWO toilets!! Our camp always has a line waiting on the throne before heading out to the stands in the morning.

 

Pool, with Hooters waitress service cocktails & wings!!

 

Smoker and poker table. The covered skinning rack with lights is also very nice to have. We just added a 4wheeler winch w/ remote control to hoist game.

 

A stripper pole and a Vegas policy...what happens at the deer camp, stays at the deer camp.

 

X a MILLION!!!!

 

well, the posts above covered everything, might as well lock the thread.

:biggrin:

 

Deer Camp

I would trade the throne for a shower if I had to. I can go in the woods, can't shower there. Really appreciate it after a work day in August. We put in a fiberglass unit, with hot water heater. Second to that is AC for the camp house. Heater (propane) is really nice too, although not needed as much in South Texas as the hill contry.

Ice machine, and a set up to do most the cooking outside. Also make your fire pit large enogh for everyone to sit around. A place to keep your fire wood high and dry. You know, a rack of some sort. If you make a skinning rack with a concrete floor make sure you put a drain in the middle so you don't end up with a mudhole at the rack. And I would make your skinning rack a double. There will be times when there is a line and someone more interested in drinking and telling stories than he is cleaning his kill. A burn barrell for your trash. Since your in the South you prolly don't have any shade trees so I would cover that slab and make some shade. It will be 90 during bow season. And will get real hot this summer while your out there working. Have a nice first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Real important!!! find out your GPS coordinates and give them to the sherrifs department to put on file inn case you have a bad emeregency and need 911 or a halo flight...

 

Box of Cubans

 

Lots of lights, 2 ice machines, one for Ice and the other for deer heads, Suzuki samurai, and a small sunflower field for dove hunting!

 

Grill, fire pit, red meat, whiskey, bed...

 

What?? You got something against Chicken?? LOL

 

toilet paper

 

Ice makers cost too much to maintain...get a few old chest freezers and fill up buckets with water and set them inside. You'll always have ice that way, it's what we used to do. You can chip ice for drinks and for cooler meat. The ice maker that we bought wound up costing us almost what the purchase price was in repairs.

Making the fire pit large enough for everyone is a really good idea as is the two toilets lol. You can get one of those propane heaters that water flows through to make a hot water shower, we still use one and it works great.

I didn't mean ice makers, I'm talkin about the freezers at gas stations you get your ice from. Got mine for less than 100$

 

A covered porch

 

patience

 

One of the finest deer leases I was ever on had a screened in porch for just sitting around in ... away from the bugs...

 

and most of all, congenial people to hunt with.

DING DING this is the most important---last year during thanksgiving we had to use this---had a UTV accident that cost one of my lease members her life; very bad deal but we called and used Halo flight; this accident happened 16 miles from pavement inside our ranch--everybody should have the coordinates regardless if your 16 miles inside a ranch our 16 feet inside it---

 

I have a family member that has a fire pit with two benches made out of flag stone. One on each side of the pit. Super sharp but any kind of benches would be fine.

He also built a man camp house which is about 8 x 15 with two bunk beds and a window unit. No windows. I slept better in it than I do my house!

My old boss has an outdoor shower made up of unistrut and corrugated tin. Somewhat cheap and effective.

Ceiling fan for the outside sitting area.

Plenty of picnic tables.

Maybe a nice stainless steel table for cleaning.

 

All good responses but I'll go outside the box with one of my favorite additions to a camp. I love having a real big floodlite shining on a feeder or two visible from camp. Something neat about looking at big deer after dinner right by camp!

 

camp

Here's our set-up. Since the pics we've added a 300gal gutter fed water cistern with a well pump, built counter top space along the back of the deck in front of the trailer and built in the sink for washing up and cleaning game. Shower and toilet are in the trailer fed by the cistern (it's nice to not make that cold trip out to the outhouse in the early morning). We've got BBQ Pit, Stove, Flat top griddle and just got a countertop oven. We put up another canopy next to the deck for parking 4 wheelers out of bad weather. Direct TV dish is mounted to the roof. Fire pit is out in front of the deck out of frame. Still looking for a stand up or chest freezer for keeping ice, other than that we're done. Any nicer and the wife will want to come up!

Last week was the 1 year anniversary of the fire that burned our lease and destroyed our entire camp. My partner on the lease and I got all this set up in August and September of last year, pics are from 2nd week of 2011 season.

This is plush compared to ours. Our "Hunters Palace" is pretty comfy though. The bigger the fire pit the better in my opinion. Make sure you don't leave your shower puff in the camp shower keep it at your bunk.
X's 3 on the dual toilet idea.

 

I should have known I would have received several wild answers on this one. Kind of a loaded question. Althought some good information in the replies but maybe I should have been more specific. We pretty much have the standard stuff for our camp like a shower, restroom, fire pit, cleaning station, etc. I was looking for some unique suggestions. For example, we were shown a newer "pear burner" with cool accessories. Talk about a good and quick way to light the campfire! Oh, and the lighted bow range is a GREAT idea too. Keep em' coming fellas, Thanks!
