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.
 
Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, ham toast.
Lunch: whatever is laying around.
Supper: Fried chicken, BBQ pork chops, BBQ steak, burgers, bacon wrapped scallops, calamari. Lots of good stuff in the deep fryer. Gotta introduce camp to deep fried snickers bars this year.

Pretty simple table fair actually!!
 
We eat really well, the first couple of days I stay away from roasting onions and garlic and that sort of thing with fear that the deer will smell me,but ounce we get a deer it no holds bard. I've pretty much cook everything at the camp( I'm a chef ). It realy depends on the wine and beer. I like it when we get some partridge, rabits or catch a few fish. Just giver it's the only vacation I take all year and I get to cook what I want.
Happy hunters.
 
We usually eat pretty good too.

Breakfast (5am ish): Bagels, Muffins, coffee, fruit liek apples/oranges/bananas.

Lunch: (around 11:30-12pm) Eggs, bacon, sausages, homefries, toast, more coffee. Usually steak and eggs at least once. OR All kinds of deli meat and cheeses for sandwiches, pepperoni, etc, soup of some kind, any leftovers from last night's supper usually disappear during the midday meal. Usually followed by 2 or 3 hours of downtime in the warly afternoon.

Supper: Fried chicken, ribs, steaks, pork chops, jerk chicken, prime rib for one night for sure. If we're lucky, so grouse or deer tenderloins. Beer.


Everyone usually has a drink of some kind as well as a bag of trail mix, nuts, mini haloween chocolate bars, etc in their pack during the day too.

Statistically the largest bucks are shot around 1-2pm (so I've been told).
 
My camp has a full time cook who doesnt hunt. Old fashioned meat and potatos meals with fresh desserts. Soup every lunch.
 
Usually have some game sausage, burgers, steaks etc.
Breakfast is always eggs with either bacon, sausage, ham etc. and toast.

Then we always have a jar of PB, some bread, baked beans and ONE box of KD, KD is just that one food we must have once in the camp.

Our camp has no electricity (when I am there, the generator is tool loud)

I am typing this as I am sitting in a fishing lodge on the Miramichi River where we have been eating like Kings all week and NO ONE has been hungry since we got here.
All the food has been homestyle cooking with just that little extra. I swear I will gain 5 lbs before I leave on Friday.
 
No electricity in our camp either, but the big "Climax" woodstove churns out some pretty fine meals.

Spiral sliced ham, scalloped potatoes, turkey w/ stuffing, some pretty fine soups, bean-crock beans ( ya gotta soak 'em first overnight ! ), lasagna, 4 bean chili, bread baked every other day in the woodstove oven ... and theres a BBQ outside for things like steaks, tenderloins, bacon wrapped duck breast etc.

No one goes hungry, more often it's a chore to push yourself away from the groaning board. Certainly possible to gain a pound or two !
 
If all goes well, liver and heart.

Otherwise - kings. Steaks you can stand on edge, game stew, game "schnitzel" (thin, breaded steaks, fried and served with lemon), game sausages - it's a freakin' meat-fest. But veggies abound, also - kale, rapini, swiss chard, beet tops. Pops makes wine and we bring that in a corny with a party tap.
