Camp dishes and traditions

[Scott85]

What’s one meal or dish that deer or elk camp wouldn’t be complete without? Any recipes that have been handed down that you are continuing? Post pictures if you got them!!!

I don’t do much truck camping but my pack wouldn’t be complete without biscuits and gravy.

1. I hate cooking
2. Pooping takes away from valuable hunting time

@wllm1313 beef stroganoff is hands down the best. Add a little chili pepper and it’s magic. And I totally agree with its pipe blocking capabilities and it’s contribution to added hunt time.
I always bring tortillas, peanut butter, and honey. Put it all together and boom, a delicious Mexican Abba Zaba - at least that’s what we call it hahah

Opening weekend of CA A zone we always BBQ Carne Asada and make way to much along with WAY to many beers. It’s been a tradition for my buddies and I for at least the past 12 years.

Spam singles in the pack with instant coffee.

Heart tacos the night of a successful harvest. Peppers and onions and tortillas don't require refrigeration.

Can't go wrong with spam with eggs over easy.

It’s the simple things that make a great elk camp. No fancy recipes needed.

A bv and coke would be a little better.

Every night starts somewhere

I’ve done pulled pork a number of times in camp. I make it at home beforehand and then just heat it in a pot with a little bit of water to add some moisture back

We eat pretty good, almost everyone in camp raises beef/pork at home.

My main hunting buddy and I have a traditional first meal. Regardless of if we plan on truck camping all week or backpacking eating Mtn house our first nights meal is steak (either ribeye or T bone) baked potatoes and maybe some asparagus or squash something that can be cooked in foil with butter. Except once in Wyoming when we set our steaks out to thaw and came back to find them over a 100 yards away chewed to pieces looked like the work of a large bird.

Deer camp in Pennsylvania these were a staple every year and still are to this day. Grandma's chili and cornbread, Grandma's sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies, and aunt Janet's chicken corn soup and snickerdoodles.

Always have chili one night. fresh tenderloin if someone fills a tag.

 

[Nick87]

Grandma makes jambalaya every year for deer season opener at home

The one thing that I always cook at elk camp is a dutch oven cobbler. CPOs birthday usually falls during 2nd season and I do this as a gesture......but also because is is sooooo good. Super easy. I like doing a peach and pear mixture.

In years past there was usually a big pot of chili and plenty of Dinty Moore beef stew. Sometimes a large smoked whitefish was around the tent and a time or two a pot of Indian keema came along.

With all the hookers and blow you claim to have at your camps I’m surprised you have much of an appetite.

Do the same. BBQ sandwiches, add some peppers and wraps for a Burrito.
