Favorite Hunt Camp Meal???

Care to share your recipe?

Take a few breasts and fry in butter with a good pinch of seasoning salt, pepper and poultry seasoning along with a small finely chopped onion and mushrooms. When they are nicely browned remove the grouse and add 3 cups of water and a cup of celery and a cup of carrots and reduce. To finish add a rue of flour and corn starch. Once thickened return the grouse to heat and serve over some mashed red potatoes and crack a cool one or two. The recipe was better in the 70's when Carling O'keefe still made Alta 3.9, one of the first Canadian wheat beers.

On our early season Mule deer hunts (backpack) we live on Mountainhouse freeze dried meals (YUK!!!) until we can feast on liver and onions, cooked in a skillet over the campfire. Such a perfect way to celebrate the successful hunt.
 
If we still have a turkey breast kicking around from the Spring. It can be deep fried wild turkey strips, pan fried potatoes and warmed brown beans. Or bacon wrapped turkey breast stuffed with jalapeño cream cheese done on the BBQ, fries and a salad. And of course an ICE COLD BEER! brand of your preference!!
 
This thread needs some camp pictures. Like cooking up a moose liver after you shoot it. Open fire cook ups etc... I love that stuff.
 
Venison stew and biscuits, always a treat at our camp.
One or 2 pot meals means less clean-up.

Tried spaghetti with venison sauce once but it was not for everyone.
Roast Beast with potatoes and carrots all in the same pot.
Really does not matter what type of beast it is.

My wife sends me a bunch of pre-made polenta that I can slice up and have for breakfast with bacon and eggs or sliced roast and gravy that she sends me too.

For quick camp dinners I love a pot of rice and a heated up up canned salmon as is or added to sir-fried vegetables.

Even easier camp lunch right by the side of the road if traveling is smokies roasted on a stick and home-made bread.

Same smokies on the grill with starch and veg. of choice is a good camp dinner.

Really nice is several whole grouse (one for each hunter) in a dutch oven in a bed of cabbages leaves, a can of tomatoes, red wine, covered with cabbage leaves, lid on and roasted in the coals.
 
Used to be liver/heart/tenderloin on first deer kill. Now pretty much just use the tenderloins. Still fantastic.

The organs now go to a dog treat recipe the wife has where they are ground, mixed with some other ingredients, pressed into large flat casserole dish and baked. Those are my dogs favorite meal out of camp. !

This sounds pretty good! Got it written down for the next time out.

Thanks for sharing ^_^
 
We always deep fry a turkey at moose camp since we go opening week and Thanksgiving used to be during the hunt. Next day is turkey sandwiches. The next night we do a fish fry and hand cut French fries followed by a wing night. That way we max out the oil and our cholesterol. A few cold ones to chase it down followed by a single malt and Cohiba by the fire. How many sleeps left?
 
Once a week at nighttime we leave camp and 4wheel it into the bush. Small campfire, sausages on a stick, sea of stars and a few wolf howls that are often answered. Hard to beat.
