I have been working on plans for a poker/shooting competition between some of the nearby camps and ours. I am thinking of five shooting stations. Shotgun, rifles,pistols,muzzle loader and archery. Three shots at each station and also you take an envelope from a box at each station that contains a card for your poker hand. You would have to have a four person team and more than one shooter. Targets scored at the end and worth half your total the other half would be your poker hand. The cards are sealed in envelopes you can’t see them or open them until the end of the shooting competition. Then have a cookout. Anybody else do anything like this at your place?

Sounds awesome, do it.

Never have seen anything like this done, but it sure sounds like a great time.

I try not to camp with others when I hunt. I do more than try when trapping. I'll pack up and move. Big game out west you have to pack in mule or horseback now to not have "neighbors". I still don't understand your post. How will you have time for a competition? Bound to be some folks there with tags unfilled. Don't see people camp much here in KS for hunting. Some out of state guys and some who hunt far from home rent a motel but don't often see anybody camping. Pretty much all private property here. You cant just go anyplace you want.

I don’t think he’s hunting while doing this competition. Just getting some other nearby camps to participate during the off season for fun.

Not camping with them Danny. I mean hunting camps I was thinking youth camps like 4H or similar. Still sounds like a great idea that could also be used at Trapper gatherings. I can't judge an opinion against hunting camps as there are different styles and methods from East to West.

Danny I am talking about the middle of summer not hunting or trapping. Just getting together in the off season with neighboring camps. I hunt with three other guys out of our camp. We go in before daylight and come out after dark. We all go our separate ways. I trap alone. So hunting and trapping season are closed when doing the competition

That’s right a camp (cabin) in the woods. Sorry for the confusion.

never heard a cabin called a camp Up here, you'll rarely hear someone refer to their camp as a cabin, even if it's made out of logs.
