Typical Meals at hunting camp

In the rare occurrence that I hunt with a group, we eat like royalty. Someone even had the audacity to bring oysters once.:puke:

Solo, or with a buddy - we eat like ####. Porridge, jerky,energy bars, trail mix and mountain house meals.
 
hunting on my own, sandwitches bacon,jerky stuff of that nature. hunting with friends or a group no hold back whatever we can cook cicken steak burgers cooked dinners fish lol we make a real fest
 
Usually meals at our camp are better than christmas and thanksgiving dinners. Generally the only meal that is basic is lunch..canned soup, sandwiches and whatnot and its usually a fend for yourself. Normally one person is tasked with the groceries for the week and the first day in one guy has a truck full of nothing but food.

One of our neighbouring camps however, they bring in a large lobster pot of stew made with meat from the previous years hunt, and it stays simmering on the stove for the entire week and that's all they eat for every meal.
 
I hunt with a couple of different camps

One puts on miles and live off of freeze dry, jerky and granola bars

The has a couple of older hunters and the camp is deluxe - the best meal being strip loins, bacon wrapped scallops, baked potatoes, asparagus and home made pie...
 
I live like a coyote during hunting season. For three months, I hunt and put up game and rarely eat. I drop about 15-25 lbs. Then I spend the other 9 months getting up to "game weight". Maybe the Scottish side of me doesn't feel comfortable in eating the bounty until the surplus is assured.

Even on camp hunts I'll take a sack of onions, a few pounds of potatoes, spices, and enough meat for one day. Everything else I eat is what we kill. Sometimes we simply eat salted potatoes.
 
I can't eat for a few hours after I have been up so I usually start the morning with a couple cups of coffee followed by a poptart & Chocalate bar a few hours later.
It's usually a sandwich for lunch as once I am in the bush I don't leave till dark.
Supper is usally soup,or other canned goods or a trip to the restuarant 10 miles away.
 
Breakfast is always important... lunch is grab and go, supper is nutso.

One year for thanksgiving in moose camp we had what we called 'grouchen'.

It was free range chickens stuffed with bacon wrapped grouse. (of course we had all the fixin's like pies, yams, stove top stuffing, brussels sprouts etc.....

I can't tell you how frikkin' good those were.

The usual meal is grouse in mushroom soup on top of wild rice. Yummeh!
 
My wife called me one year at Moose camp. She was eating hot dogs with the kids at home. I had just fried up some shake'n bake grouse breasts, with garlic mashed potatoes and stove top stuffing, and homemade rice pudding for dessert. My wife stopped calling me after that......

Interesting topic!!
A fly-in moose hunt does not mean we should not eat well. Each of us, four in total, is responsible for bringing the ingredients for and preparing one gourmet meal including an appropriate wine and desert followed by a nice liquor. That's only four meals over the ten day hunt so the rest include bbq's, sheppard's pie, spaguetti, meat loaf etc. B'fast or brunch might be eggs & bacon, sausage and pancakes, quiche, smoke meat sandwiches and so on. Part of the enjoyment of the hunt is eating well with some nice vino and a toast or two with some great single malt.
 
For deer we eat like kings.

For sheep the only liquid other than water is tea, because it's light. For food it's mostly dehydrated crap with some trail mix and clif bars. I pretty much live off clif bars for a week. By the end I swear I've pooped a clif bar. You do what you have to do when you carry everything in on your back.
 
trick i figured out a few years back:
mix all your pancake ingrients together
pour in vac. sealer ball ( freezer bag would prolly work)
lay flat and freeze use as a freezer pack in a cooler to keep other stuff cold
thaw night before cut small end off & squeeze bag into pan for breakfast
clean up = throwing away bag.
