Old Hunting Shack

[garager]

She needs to be rebuilt now, bigger and stronger. This last storm, took a tree down and right through the shack. Memories, lots of them, she wasn't much to look at, but she served a purpose like no other structure in our lives. Way out in the boonies and yet we still made her livable on the weekends and some weekdays.

Satellite TV, for boxing entertainment when the weather was bad. Pot belly stove w/a steel surface plate, to melt snow for water. Bunk beds and a kitchen and a bar for entertainment also.

She will be replaced, hopefully this fall just in time for deer season and new memories... Sad day today, ladies and gentlemen, very sad day indeed. That last storm was the ticket for a new and safer shack, burial in about 2 weeks, I'll get an excavator in there and a dump truck, it'll be taken care of real quick....

Re: Old Hunting Shack

It's always sad when a good memory maker has to make way for the new. I used to have an old hunting shack like that years ago. I replaced it 17 years ago with a 4 bedroom double wide trailer. We still have good times and memories at the new shack but it just seems like the memories were sweeter in that old run down cramped shack.

BUMMER!! Ours went to a fire started by a hot muffler in high grass. Hunting was never quite the same.

Re: Old Hunting Shack

We will rebuild and hunting will resume. If we cannot build this year, I'll pull my 32' travel trailer and park it there this fall. Life will be good again, this is just a temp. set back w/life out in the boonies.....

Re: Old Hunting Shack

I think it's conspiracy, you guys didn't see the teeth marks on the tree? Looks like deer teeth marks.

Garager, that blows, really looked like a good man club. I'm sure the next one will be even better.

Re: Old Hunting Shack

the second one will be even better, well, less the tree.

and in no time at all you will have great memories.

Re: Old Hunting Shack

dang man that sucks, but think of the things you did like and keep them and the things you did not like this is the time to improve on. oh and make sure you keep something from the old shack to bring into the new shack.

Re: Old Hunting Shack

I think we should get a home inspector over there immediately and check for mold spores.

Re: Old Hunting Shack

i think we should all pool our talents and have a barn raising.

sort of like habitat for humanity.

then all those that participated can enjoy for the next roundup.

a varmit roundup

Re: Old Hunting Shack

We will try to build this fall, depends on time, will we have it? If we can't build, I guess I'll pull my 32' travel trailer up there and park it. It does have all the amenities. Then we'll build next year for sure.

There a few small lakes in the area.

Mold spores, out in the woods area, naaaa you'd never see that Adam.....

Re: Old Hunting Shack

Looks like many years of good memories up there.I know you guys are going to put it back better than it was for the next generations to carry them on.
