Welcome to camp

Bucks, camps & the club gate

Each member camp names a Director to the club’s Board, keeps its own roster, and answers for the conduct of its members, and the camps split the cost of the lease. Read more about the club’s history and its camp rules.

The club holds one regular meeting a year, in the fall (2026: Saturday, Sept. 12), to elect officers, who take office on opening weekend of the regular firearms season.

Rut sources: the rut is driven by day length, so its timing is about the same each year; the moon does not set it. NYSDEC: White-tailed deer fact sheet (New York rut runs October to January, peak in mid-November); DEC bulletin “It’s Rut Time!” (peak around the 2nd to 3rd week of November). Penn State Extension: How to Predict the Rut (Pennsylvania data, 1999–2006: median breeding date for adult does about Nov. 13, with no relationship to the moon). National Deer Association: No Link Between Moon Phase and Rut Peak.

Method: sunrise and sunset were computed with the astral Python library (standard sunrise/sunset definition: the sun’s upper edge at the horizon, with atmospheric refraction), rounded to the nearest minute, using America/New_York time-zone rules. Cross-checks: run for Albany, the same method matches DEC’s official Albany sunrise/sunset table within one minute on Sept. 1, Oct. 24, Nov. 1, Dec. 6 and Dec. 31. For Corinth it matches the sunrise-sunset.org calculation within one minute on Oct. 24 and Dec. 6.

Times vary slightly across the property, by a minute or so with location, and hills and heavy timber change when it actually gets light or dark. When in doubt, wait. These times are a guide only, and the DEC rule above is what counts.
