Turner Family Deer Camp

Every Mainer has a camp. It may be a place we own. it may be a place that a friend owns. It may be a place we rent every summer. It may even be a campground and simple tent. But its ours, even if only for a week or two each year.

Camp is a Maine tradition-anchored in our imaginations of the North Woods, yet often nearby on a lake or pond, the better to access it on hot summer days.

Camp may be rustic with a one-holer. It may have plumbing and hot showers. It may have a kitchen or just a Coleman stove on the picnic table. It may be on the water or deep in the woods but it is always the most comfortable place on Earth.

This camp was established on 13 July 2019 on land that was given to Lisa (Pullen) Turner along with her brother Rick and sister Kathi after the deaths of their parents George and Ruth Pullen. Lt Col. Pullen purchased the land on recommendation from his father and older brother for $3.00 an acre. The total land that was inherited was 100 plus acres. There was once a hunting camp on the bottom section of land down towards the stream. That camp was destroyed by fire back in 1972?. This camp is dedicated to the two men who opened the world of deer hunting and camp camaraderie to me, George Pullen and Ricky Pullen. Thank you so much for your patience and love for my family.

I Miss You Guys.
