I regularly camp or stealth park. It really cuts down on expenses and keeps your head in the game. I look forward to it every year. Have fun!

What area of Clark County? I assume the southern portion? (Feel free to not say...)

Can't see why you wouldn't. Can't beat a little adventure.

I have done it in wi before. This season I bought a cot and am setting up my truck as a mini camper for quick afternoon/ next morning trips to state parks. Next step install LED tape light on the topper.

When i go i dont make fires and sleep by the creeks to hide my presence. I got a hammock that i sleep in and take it down, cover it with a camo tarp that i use for the rain fly, and stuff it under a downfall/boulder when i go out to hunt. make sure youre not by any game trails....last year i woke up to a big steaming pile of bear doo-doo about 15 feet from my hammock...you can bet ill be packin a 45 this year

I almost always make a fire. It don't hurt nothing. May even help.

Some of the best venison I have every had has come from a stick over a camp fire. I don't even remember if we had seasoning or not but the stuff was amazing, I think I have to do it again some time.


We do a late-season muzzleloader camping trip every year in January as well as a spring camping trip for turkeys. No matter what's on the menu, it just tastes 1,000 times better than eating it at home! The environment/experience certainly adds flavor for sure.

Thanks guys good to hear. I was afraid that the deer would smell or see you while your hunting and it could spook them.

Don't camp where you hunt, just like you don't do certain things where you eat. Then deer won't be bothered. I do it for archery and firearm
