After umpteen years of heading 'up-north' to their hunting shack, the guys from Elmwood, Minnesota, still spend all their time discussing their personal opinions on life instead of actually hunting. Naturally, the consumption of a few brewskis adds to the stories while the songs explain their thoughts on wives, grunt horns, male dancers, food, coupons, old age, family 'togetherness,' and even on rare occasions, hunting.

Only this year it's different. The guys are under a threat from their wives to "get a deer or else." That means no more hunting trips if they come back empty handed again. What to do: shoot one? buy one? steal one? They try it all with hilarious results. Will they succeed? Deer Camp tells the story.

Meet the The Mighty Hunters of Deer Camp!
  • Franklin ‘Diesel’ Thorkin. Former ‘NAM Tank diesel mechanic who never actually made it to ‘NAM. Authority on much, he thinks, but best at shooting cutting barbs at Moose. Has a trained-killer instinct, but his only “kills’ are a few 6 packs. His personal life would make a great soap opera.
  • Douglas “Doogski” Matowski. He's Elmwood's hardware man who really knows his stuff and spends too much time eating eggs at widow Cindy's Diner! His approach to life is simple, "If it won't fit, get yourself a whatchamacallits or a big thingamabob." Being the camp's only bachelor makes him the target of many jokes.
  • Anslo “Moose” Johnson. Slapped too hard at birth. Not real swift in the thinking department. Explains his relationship to Diesel by simply saying, “my sister married his neighbor, that’s why he’s my brother-in-law.” His approach to life is based on the motto, "It's always darkest right before the tornado hits."
  • Clarence “Digger” LaVigne. A mortician by trade, and the only college graduate of the camp crew. Close friends with Doogski and likes to “unwind” at the Mule Lip Saloon with the guys and a few “occasional” beers to try to dilute all the embalming fluid he’s been inhaling at his funeral home for decades.
