Tales from a North Woods Deer Camp, John Marvin Hanson—the son of one of the original Jolly Boys—recounts the humorous antics, the memorable hunts, and the profound camaraderie that has developed over almost sixty seasons at Blue Heaven. Hanson also includes more than twenty recipes for gourmet comfort foods prepared each year at camp, from pickled venison hearts and Kathy’s pâté to Norwegian meatballs and the treasured recipe for Reali Spaghetti. As the Jolly Boys age and younger generations take over the traditions of Blue Heaven, Hanson comes to appreciate that being a part of hunting camp is not about bagging a trophy buck as much as it is about spending time with the friends and family members who matter most.
