Rocking Chair Camp - Full Conversation
Subscribe:
A visit to the Rocking Chair Camp, a traditional U.P. deer camp set in the heart of Michigan deer camp country, with almost 90 years of deer hunting stories, camp traditions and generations of hunters. This story comes 45 or so years after the last time its story was told.
I sat down with the 2nd and 3rd generation to hear stories about their fathers and grandfathers, their own deer camp memories, and how the Rocking Chair Camp has come full-circle now that it's back in the family. And we're introduced to the Green Horn Camp, built by the sons of the Rocking Chair Camp 50 years ago.
