  [quote]I have considered starting a nudist Deer Hunting camp in South Carolina. I was wondering if there was any interest?[/quote] I live in a rural area with lots of active hunters. I have never gotten my deer license to take a deer, but I have done plenty of naked varmit hunting. Sat in the hot tub with my loaded 22 and got a ground hog. Stepped out my kitchen door many a time sans clothing with loaded gun in hand aiming for raccoons . Good luck with your big game hunt

  I already run a hunt club, but the members are not nudists. Occasionally I end up there alone and will go nude while I'm there. I have often wondered if there were other hunters who would enjoy it.

  Not on private land in SC. It's not required.

  I would not want to go visit the deep deer woods nude. Unless you've got the perfect hunting spot, it usually involves trekking through the brush to make it to the stand and there you sit, and sit, and sit. Not to mention if you don't get the really good shot off and your wounded Bambi-wanna-be goes running out through the forest. Could you imagine looking for a blood trail nude? Well...it's a nice thought but I'll skip the nude hunting unless I catch the one that's been eating my garden. A front porch, nude deer hunt could be fun.

Not every activity necessarily makes sense naked

  This makes about as much sense as wanting to sit in a jail cell naked.

  I've done it a time or two but usually on those odd November days in Texas where it is 30 degrees at daybreak when I go to the deer stand and by noon it is 80 degrees and I'm shucking the camos. I never took anything while I was nude but I did have a pair of trousers handy if I had to go chasing in the woods. More for protection than anything else. Mountain Cedars were very thick on that lease and a wounded animal rarely stays on the trail.. Most of the Deer I've taken has been clean shots but I have had to go chase some down a time or two.

  I think it would work best early in the season like for a bow hunt when not many people in the woods. I know I have walked up on deer nude and they never took off running but watched me. Some hot days I want to hunt naked and I could bow hunting from a stand. Just wear the clothes out for safety reasons.

  As a nudist/photographer I've gotten very close to animals in the woods. I think they see naked humans as just another animal. I can also move almost silent when I'm barefoot and naked. I think they see camo or clothing as not fitting into nature, despite how good the camo is.

  Me too! I have had my closest encounters with both wild animals and birds whilst naked. I'm only rarely barefoot, so I don't think that's the main factor and it isn't brightly coloured clothing as I have never worn that, opting usually for plain browns, greys or black mostly. It could be that the creatures sense your vulnerability, so don't feel so threatened, but what about pointing a camera at them? It doesn't seem to faze them!
  
  Could it be that it is the kind of place we go to be naked, being the more remote, away from other humans is where these creatures already feel safer?

  You ask about pointing a camera at them, I know this might annoy die hard photographers, but I tend to use my phone a lot of the time, the cameras on phones are so good these days, and can be done very descretly

  [quote]Wonder how many trail cams have caught someone nude?[/quote] Some Amish owned trail cams caught me. Yes the Amish have trail cams and the young man that owned the woods behind me caught me on them hiking his land in nothing but my Crocs. It was summer and into September and I always stopped before any game cane into season. Early October just as I stepped out of the shower, I heard someone knock on my door. I greeted what turned out to be a DNR officer with just a towel around my waist. He asked if I had " trespassed on the land behind me" and I confessed I had. The Amish guy had reported me to the DNR and he was following up. He issued me a warning about trespassing but never mentioned my lack of clothing either while hiking or greeting him at the door. I had slipped on shorts while he went to his car for something. When I apoligized via texting to the Amish guy ( yes he had a cell phone too) he made no mention of my lack of clothing. Just did not want me on his land even off hunting season.

  I've been known to "Moon" cameras when I find them. My hunting buddies hate it when I find their cameras. Found one I was pretty sure belonged to a poacher one time... I dropped a duece in front of that one. None of my hunters said anything about it and the camera was gone the next weekend, I guess I was right about it belonging to a poacher.
