Last time I hunted elk in Montana, our cook was the chef at a very popular KC steakhouse and he spent Sept/Oct cooking for the hunters as his vacation.

I hiked 10 miles a day, with 8-12 inches of snow on the ground and gained 5 pounds.

That was a cook,I tell you!!

With nthis hunt and knowing who is going to be there, food strategy,quality and quantity wasn't even a thought in my head.

I'd be more than happy with campfire brats and beans, next to the river, for every meal.

I'll give you this one certainty over and above the great food....you will go home with at least 2 more permanent laugh lines around your eyes.

I spoke with Dan (dvdegeorge) this morning and he might be bringing me a gift.
