Typical Meals at hunting camp

In our tent camp for waterfowl the first 4 or 5 birds shot are made into a hot duck and beans chili. Serve this with some heavy rye bread, butter and shredded cheese. Follow up with Brugal rum and pepsi. Overall it makes a nice meal that just when you forgot what you ate it reminds you. Can't wait to go this year.

Whatever is on the plate NEVER ask the cook "what is this"? He may either be insulted or may not know what it is. And don't be the first to try it. Make an excuse to go for a pee or something, let someone else eat it first, then see if he "gags" or has to be hospitalized, or just a simple stomach pumping. At one camp we've had more to eat on opening morning than was served for the entire week at a 2nd camp. If you have to, eat it in the dark, helps it go down easier. If someone says "where's the pail of Bear bait" around dinner time, best to have a granola bar for the night.

i dont know where you guys are finding the time to eat so well at camp...im starting to think i need to bring a non hunting cook for elk camp

we are in the woods before sun up and back to camp for an hour or two mid day for a snack...then back out into the thick stuff till after sun down.

So its usually quick n easy food for a week....chili, stew, hoagies etc. :stirthepot2:

Once the meat pole has a sag in it though...then its all tenderloin and wisers :D
 
we eat well

Breakfast is eggs baccon or ham cofee and bread (no toaster :( in the camp trailer yet) sometime with reheated/fried potatoes fromteh night before. Which reminds me I got to get a BBQ for this years hunt.

Lunch is soup and a sandwich when we come back to camp if not we have a little fire and cook up smokies/sausages and have something hot (were talking November hunting you want a hot lunch)

Supper is steak, thick porkchops, sausages or other meat, with either potatoes and onions, or with pasta and sauce. Sometimes I'll do up a deer sausage with whiskey beens. :D but that makes for a smelly night playing cards (days are getting short in November)
 
Breakfast:
Back Bacon, eggs (your way), toast, coffee, juice, fruit

Lunch:
Sandwiches or a weiner roast or left overs from the day before

Dinner:
Beef Tenderloin
Fresh Deep Fried Fish (we fish on our trips as well)
Moose/Deer Burgers
Spaghetti

We have had Full Turkey Dinners!

Dessert:
Muffins, Cookies, Fruit washed down with Carolines and Chocolate Milk!

I know lots of people who hunt and some people take the bare minimum for food and enjoy hotdogs and beans, others take all dried food, others eat pretty well.

Just wondering how most gun nutz do meals out hunting.

Hunting in the Matane park in 2008.

The way it's set up, camps are located in small clusters off of their actual hunting territory. Normally, it's a 5-15km drive to get to your spot. The park is open year round for all sorts of activities and that summer some kids got a little drunk and drove their car into one of the lakes. They all died. The coroner, presumably feeling some political pressure, deemed that section of road unsafe and closed it until such time that repairs could be made. Cost would be about $2 million. So, the park administration decided instead to rework a series of hiking trails to bypass that section. We are talking some pretty hair-raising roads - way more dangerous than the original road that was closed over safety concerns.

Anyways, all this to say that our 12km drive turned into 40km. 1.5 hours each way. This meant that alarms were going off at 3am; hitting the road at 4; no more lunches back at camp; returning by 8:30pm; cooking and eating supper by 10pm, cleaning up and in bed by 10:30 or 11. Cap it all off by a 7 hour drive back home after our stay. We were wasted.
 
In our moose camp we tend to ourselves for breakfast and lunch but after the hunt we each have brought two gourmet meals into camp and slip any one of those meals in the oven and share the meal and it goes without saying many good bottles of wine and end the evening with some cold vodka
cheers
 
We ususally put on a big feed of turnip, potatos, cabbage, salt beef , beans and sausages for one big meal.

Smaller meals are often Rasin Bread and BAked beans or something similar...

when backpacking it, the food is s**t...but I eat it and hunt (MRE's)
 
Deer camp varies from ordered pizza (10 minutes to town) to meals we each prepare at home and bring with us.

Moose camp is always french fries :rolleyes: with some kind of meat. We cook bacon and hard boiled eggs for breakfast so we can eat it on the road. Lunch is usually sammiches.

Unfortunately my hunting buddies have never heard about fruits and veggies (unless you count potatoes).
 
I read a thread like this on another forum once and a guy put up a really great tip.


Chop up some onions, peppers and such and put into a big zip-lock bag with some seasoning. Add a couple eggs and "squish" them up by squeezing the outside of the bag.

Seal the bag and drop it into a big pot of boiling water to cook into an "omlett-in-a-bag". No cooking pan or pot to clean up. The pot of boiling water can be used for coffee or doing dishes etc.

I was sitting at home reading this tip and watching WILD TV early on a Sunday morning. It sounded good so I went and tried it out right then and there.

Holy crap Ike! Reading your breakfast and lunch menu had me picturing you wearing the Birkenstocks. You have fully redeemed yourself with your dinner choices.
 
Breakfast- tea, anything on the table,
Lunch- tea, pilot biscuit with peanut butter, maybe oysters or salami, sometimes noodles
Dinner- tea, pilot biscuit, stew or stir fry of day's catch with pickles... if we're successful.
Snacks throughout the day- chocolate/cereal bar, cookies.

Day 2, 3, 4...- same as day 1

after a week, pretty much the same except the dwindling supply of sugar and sweet stuff.
