We found out our Huntin camp burned down sometime last week. Besides the hard work and money we had in it we lost 10 deer mounts and a couple of turkey fans and beards. A couple of members lost all their huntin clothes. Very sad time! I don't know if someone burnt it or if it was electrical. I would hate to think people like that exist but this world is full of hateful folks.

Either way, i hate you lost your hunting cabin, our hunting cabin is just like our best friend, i would hate to loose it...I hope your going to rebuild...

Unfortunately, there are those who get a kick out of burning down structures as evidenced in our area by old barns being torched as well as at least one hunting cabin. No one is ever caught, either. Hope you guys can rebuild and figure out some security for your stuff.

That's terrible news...hope it wasn't some lowlife getting their kicks...once had a trailer on our property that we used as a hunting cabin...someone shot it full of holes with a high powered rifle..sideways and length wise...looked like Swiss cheese...might put a few trail cameras out..sometimes they return to check things out

Where we are located is pretty isolated. I hope we rebuild but I'm sure it will be on down the road. I'll be getting my camper ready to move down there.

Man I hate that!   Evan though the outcome is the same,  I hope it wasn't intentional.    God luck in the future.   I know it's not much but if you or any of your members can use some old hunting related items like clothes etc. send me a pm and I'll see what I can round up.   
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Man that's awful.  I lost some deer mounts and a lot of turkey fans, beards, spurs in a storage unit fire a few years back.  It was hard to get back into hunting after losing nearly all my trophies.  I'm really sorry that happened to you guys.

Sure hate to hear about it. I echo the sentiments off the others in hoping it wasn't intentional. That would bug me knowing they were still around.
Didn't lose anything in a fire,  but I did have an ex-wife sell about 20 turkey beards in a garage sale one time. Never figured out why she didn't sell the whole collection.

I appreciate it guys. I was lucky, I lost 1 shirt, a little ammo, bed an stuff in my room. I offered one member some clothes seeing how I have more than I need. We have several older guys that don't have many huntin years left. I really hate it for them.

Really sorry to hear that. If anyone needs some hunting clothes give me a yell. I gave away 6 sets or so lady year but I still have a few sets I can part with.  Believe everything is medium sized.

We had one set on fire a few years back by some people that  were riding 4wheelers before we bought the property and stopped them from riding..

This happened back in WV and only once  ;D

People don't think !!

Sorry to hear bout it happening to yours.

Sorry to  hear of your loss. Be glad no one was  hurt and even though the camp is gone the memories remain. Use those memories to inspire you to rebuild and continue your tradition.

MISSISSIPPI Double beard

Thank you for the kind words fellas.

Sorry to hear your camp house burned.  That sucks.  I hope it was lightning that did it and not some sorry dirtbag(s). At least nobody was hurt. Your next one will be better.
