93. Palace in Da Popple

This week we break down all the boys' plans for Deer Camp for the 2023 Michigan Firearm Deer Season with our Deer Camp special. Jimi sees a sighting, Jason reads his Palace in the Popple poem and nails it on the first attempt. The boys talk about their deer camp traditions and how they started.

Here is Jason's version of the Poem:

Original by: George Augustus "Gus" Bixby in rural Wisconsin in 1905

PALACE IN THE POPPLE

It’s a smoky, raunchy bears’ nest

With an unswept, drafty floor.

And pillow ticking curtains

And apple pucker for a snort.

The smell of a pine knot fire

From a stove pipe that has come loose

Mingles sweetly with the boot grease

And the Copenhagen snoose.

There are work worn .30-30’s

With battered, steel stocks,

And drying lines of long johns

And of steaming, pungent socks.

There’s a table for the terrible outdoorsmen

Where they choose their teams for euchre,

And there’s deep and dreamless sleeping

On bunk ticks stuffed with straw.

Dan and Jimi stand by the stove,

Their gun talk loud and hot,

Ryan and Jason are partners again,

Pass on a bower they will not!

Jimi’s been drafted again as cook

And is peeling some spuds for stew

While Bob wanders by in baggy drawers

Sipping another brew

No where on earth is fire so warm

Nor coffee so infernal,

No whiskers so stiff, jokes so rich,

Nor hope blooming so eternal.

A man can live for a solid week

In the same old underbritches

And walk like a man and spit when he wants

And scratch himself where he itches.

I tell you, boys, there’s no place else

Where I’d rather be, come fall,

Where I eat like a bear and sing like a wolf

And feel like I’m bull-pine tall,

In that raunchy cabin out in the bush

In the land of raven and loon,

With a tracking snow lying new on the ground

At the end of the Rutting Moon.
