Time to pay for all the play – Off to Coon Camp Springs!
Well, it seems like there’s never enough time to do all the things I should, much less enough time to do all I want. No matter how I try to balance it all out, one side or the other always seems to go wanting. The eternal struggle, I guess…
Such is the case with coordinating the time and money to slip off to Coon Camp Springs to help Dave out with some of the work up there. Dave, on the other hand, has been up there an average of three weekends per month since the roads dried out… usually working by himself. It’s hard to describe the dedication this man has to the project.
Anyway, this weekend everything worked out, so I’m heading up there in a few hours. The focus for the weekend will be to get the camp in order, and maybe to get a little extra stuff knocked out. We have a 4-H group coming up in a couple of weeks to camp and do some habitat work, and a group of Boy Scouts will be coming later in August to chip in as well. We need to make sure the camp is in order, and everything is ready.
The bucks are coming along nicely this year. Should be another great hunt at Coon Camp Springs.
On top of that, of course, hunting seasons are coming on fast. Dave was able to auction off our antelope hunt at a recent California Deer Association (CDA) banquet, and that lucky hunter will be hunting next month and into September. We’ll be running our deer hunts in October/November again as well, although I have to mention that we haven’t sold any of those tags yet. If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I can put you in touch with Dave. Or, you can check the Coon Camp Springs eBay store for more detail.
Just an update, two of the four deer tags sold yesterday. There are two more left… if you or anyone you know wants a great opportunity on a CA mule deer, this is a good chance to grab a fun hunt for a great price!
