What be some of your favorite Deer Camp dinners ?

This year we are doing
Pulled Pork on home made rolls,
Venison Stew/Dumplings
Home made chili
Grouse/Woodcock Cordon Bleu
Steak, of course
Lasagna/Home made garlic bread
Chuck Pot Roast
Frozen Pizza

Veni stu w/ dumplings sounds good

Deer camp isn't a thing here.

Elk camp over west is though.


Nothing ever so fancy as you are describing though.

Thiis Friday night before the hunt, look like chili and beans on the side. With cornbread. If there’s any left over I’ll make a pan of enchiladas for Saturday night.

This Saturday a pork roast stuffed with garlic and red pepper flakes, in a roux gravy with dumplings, Sided with a pot of fresh turnips and mustard greens, garlic bread and peach cobbler in a Dutch oven.

Hard to beat Bob !

Sounds amazing

Cold beer

BBQ chicken

Tomorrow maybe. Might not even leave my buds shop, sometimes he just dumps one from the back door.

Hard to beat fresh doe back strap.

Cut in medallions. With a slice of jalapeño and wrapped in bacon on the grill.

Drunk chicken is good to feed a lot of folks.

Venison backstrap tenderized, seasoned with Cavendar’s black pepper and garlic, rolled in flour and deep fried
With turnip greens, Rutabegas , northern beans and ham and cornbread

Beef rib roast cut into thick steaks, also grill the rib bones

Front deer shoulders slow baked in deep pan with beef broth and covered with bacon, green/red and yellow peppers, onions and jalapeños then shredded and served on taco bar with all sides

Thick Ribeyes w/ sautéed mushrooms and asparagus, baked potatoes, wedge salad with blue cheese with Peach Cobbler for dessert.

Shrimp Boil

Squirrel Potpie

A few weeks ago it was ribeyes, green beans, spuds and salad night one, beef enchiladas, queso, rice and beans night two and lasagna, salad and garlic bread night three. Lunches were sandwiches, breakfast eggs, bacon/sausage, spuds and pancakes. Heading out next Friday again so we shall see.

I forgot. Tonight was a batch of fresh caught fried Crappie

Is deer camp in the Hilton, Steve?

Hope you get a big one.

Fish of the Gods!!!

Dayom.

The night before is always a steak dinner at camp. Once the season starts there is a crock pot of chili on and usually another crock pot of sloppy joe for anyone who wanders in during the day. My favorite meal is canned venison that is warmed up and then served on a few pieces of fresh bread as an open faced sandwich and covered in gravy.

Sounds pretty damn good except for the turnip greens and rutabagas. 🤮

I’ll be right over!

These guys eat Pho. FF to 8:40

Lacy1!!! I sure would like to wander into y’alls camp! That sounds so good!

Dad would make something called Hunky Hamburgers. It was basically stewed meatballs with potatoes, celery, onions and carrots. After the 3 day my brother and I would be sick of them.

Luckily, we had stewed pork necks bones to eat on the other 3 days…..

Everyone is going to gain weight for sure.

One of our big feeds is chicken and andouille gumbo. Cajun, not Creole style. No tomato, no okra.

We used to have some grand meals in camp but have lost alot of the guys, and just about every one has there own place now. So meals are simple and quick, anymore, everyone is older and tired by the end of the day. I sure miss the old days.

You’re eating crow this year.

Yep. That’s what we usually do. Plus a big ole pot of Pinto beans and baked potatoes. And of course, cornbread.

Well, there is that.

Winner, winner,.....

LOL
Deer Camp was always a shack in the woods with a wood cook stove, a sauna and an outhouse.


Those days are gone for me now so deer camp is now a couple Ice Castles hauled out in the woods with a generator, a pellet grill and a rented biffy. Works well, but it’s not the same.

Yep that looks like deer camp, lol!

Headed up to camp on Nov. 12th for the Nov. 15th MI rifle opener. Camp fare will consist of deep fried lake perch and walleye, long n slow roasted venison neck roast, Kielbasa, sauerkraut, and potatoes, home made chicken and dumpling soup, hopefully some fresh venison tenderloin, and of course ice cold PBR.

Yes indeed, but that’s here, not in the deer woods, politics, name calling, and rude behavior is not allowed at deer camp.

Don’t forget the heart, unless of course you blow it to smithereens.

Almost every time
Steaks and fried taters, onions and jalapeños in the disc.
Chops and fried taters, onion and jalapeños in the disc.
Stew
Enchiladas
Posole or Menudo
Asado

Sorry, what’s “in the disc”?

Sounds good SB !!!

Ive put on about 7 pounds just reading this thread! 🤣

Soups and chili, steaks, brats and burgers

Dishes I've been known to bring on my dinner night

Chili verde
Chili colorado
Swedish meat balls over noddles
Frijoles charros
Pozole
Tamales
Camarones ala diabla
Caldo de res

There really is no breakfast to speak of, coffee or whatever to drink, some quick pop open biscuits with some cheese and a heat and eat sausage patty and off we go.

Some guys come back to camp around 10ish earlier if it’s really f*cken cold and cook up a big batch of “Whatever”, could be breakfast brunch, or bratwurst, or French dip, never know what they will com3 up with.

Me, I’m sitting until I shoot or it gets dark.

Swedish Meatballs, schit I’m changing the menu , thanks

Man I love Swedish meatballs

Yep. We do Jimmy Dean Sausage Biscuits in the microwave and coffee for breakfast. No time for messing around when there’s hunting to be done.

Asado, taters, fajitas and breakfast all gets cooked in it. Plow disc, usually with horseshoe for handles.

This year we had:
Elk Chili over Fritos, brownies
Elk Brats, potato salad, macaroni salad
Spaghetti w/meatballs, salad, Italian bread, wine
Homemade soup, Hawaiian rolls
Pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, baked beans

It's grab coffee and a muffin for breakfast.
Usually back at camp around 10:30 or 11:00 and someone fixes breakfast burritos

The south Texas camp I generally do no cooking. Two hunters there live to cook, so I gladly oblige them and eat what they prepare. And they are damn good! Never had anything bad.

I may do breakfast for them when they get in from hunting. The typical stuff.

Don’t wanna make any waves! 😁

One of the older guys has a wife who loves to bake. She bakes batches of all kinds of different cookies and sends them to camp. Breakfast is usually a cup or two of coffee with a few of your favorite cookies as everyone sits around the large table in our camp and discusses the upcoming day. Maybe my favorite part of camp.

Nice discada!!!

I stole that pic off the googler. 😆

LOL! I have one too and no pics!

I usually bring a bunch of these home made “heat-n-heat breakfast patties

I never got to do a camp.


Unfortunately I live on the same chunk of land where I hunt. Except for a second farm my pops has about 12 miles away.

I have slept in the bed of the pickup a few times. Had some aerosol cheeze whizz and some crackers.

First night I’d usually a fish fry, crappie, catfish or suckers. Frog legs for the cookers. Gals will have sides of slaw, potato salad and such, desert is usually a pie or three,

Saturday night is steak and grilled chicken breast. Fixings are pretty much the same.

The second Friday is a smoked pork shoulder made into sandwiches.

By Saturday night, if you haven’t killed anything, your not allowed to eat as you are not hungry enough.

🤣

GPS coordinates and supper times please!

Lol

Renegade is in my hallway at 4:53...”cmon man we gotta get back in there and get set up 2 hours before the first hint of false dawn, gotta put move on them nimrod ass holes that come rolling in at 7am”

All right all right keep ya pants on grrrrr!!!

😂🤪🤦🏻😱

Coffee and cookies

Mehh
bottle of water and a cold poptart for the stand

Wife bought me one of these fancy ones last Christmas.

https://www.firedisccookers.com/

Wow! Good on her!

Sometimes we get asked to dine with the hunters in the back pasture. They can sure cook. They grill up some awesome pork steaks!!! I do like pork steaks!!

Well we're in bow camp, with the rut in full swing. I tagged out last weekend with a good buck. I'm camp b!tch for my wife. Tomorrow night is beef roast with gravy ,fresh bread, and green beans. Dessert is lemon oreos and cards with the neighbor's.
Saturday night frozen pizza, salad, beer, and more cards with the neighbor's.

Breakfast is granola bars and coffee.

Riffle season starts next Saturday
Pork loin grilled veggies and taters
Chicken and dumplings
Hamburger soup
Breakfast dinner
Ribeyes and taters
Left overs
And beer and bourbon

Oh yeah, me too. I just ate and now I’m digging in the cabinets…

I have 3 great children. My 2 sons (21 &18) have been hunting and cooking since they got out of dialers. My oldest is in college and Air Guard. My youngest is a great High School football
Player and will play in college. My youngest loves to cook with me.
He decided (on his own) that he wanted to cook deer heart. We hunt in S. TX every year and he started cleaning his deer and cooking the heart in deer camp down there. He now has many followers now that were former heart haters. He takes all membranes out of the heart. Cuts into thin “fajita” strips. Cooks it in iron skillet like fajita steak w/bell peppers, onions etc.. and serves as Heart fajitas w/ tortillas or pours it over rice.

What ??? No Vienna Sausages. Blasphemy ! 😜

Nice, is the steel thick enough to transfer the heat without super hot spots under the burner?

I just have this for camp.


The steel is quite thin. So there are definitely hot spots, if I light all three burners and turn the pan 30* back and forth it helps a lot,

This was my dads , we took it camping back in the day, it had a two foot handle on it that I cut down. No more campfire cooking for me.

Like for real tho

How do you manage scent control, setting up on 4-1/2 year old buck while smelling like Jose’s Mexican Tacqueria or sunday brunch at the O-Club?

I’m wearing boots that never touch pavement or the inside of a vehicle, clothes washed in free-n-clear, hanged outside to dry. change in/out of clothes to and from stand.

Some these descriptions sound cringe worthy,

Then again, I’m not meat hunting. I could kill a lot does with bricks, the scent control is worth it.

Was just curious. Sounds great if I could have 7 days worth of spare hunting duds and a shower each day.

It’s 11 gauge. It does pretty good if I limit it to about 8 pounds of pork, when doing asado.

Deer like mescan food, mescan food and Pall Malls

How about Campfire BS.

Sorry, Steve, i couldnt resist. Carry on. Good luck on the hunt.

We do all of the scent control. As I am
Writing this I am washing scent free cold weather clothes. Just keep clothes And dress in barn that is 20 yards from the lodge. We do all scent free laundry/ showers/ towels/ clothes etc
We are primarily bow hunters but I am gun hunting for MDWFP to kill old deer for CWD testing this week.

Planning Thanksgiving Dinner now. We will feed at least 30. We invite anyone that we know that does not have close family, anyone that hunts with us, our elder neighbors
And of course all family.
Turkey, Morrel Ham
White bread dressing
Cornbread dressing
Gravy
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Corn pudding
Green bean casserole
Yum yum salad
Oven roasted Brussels sprouts w/ cranberries
Roasted pecans
Wilted lettuce salad w/ boiled egg crispy bacon and bacon drippings
Pecan pie
Apple pie
Peach pie

cool, that’s good to hear

I’m easing into thickets with only 25 yard shot offerings, i dont bow hunt anymore but I’m firearm hunting my old bow sets.

I could smell like the waffle house or a casino if I was in a shooting house watching a 600 acre bean field or a 1/4 mile of TVA right of way. 😎

Roasted pecans

Dangit boy 👍

Our deer don’t care. Years ago, I was taking a schitt off the bumper of my then new 2001 Ford F-350, 7.3 Diesel running full blast, smoking a Marlboro and had a doe walk close enough by I could have hit her with my roll of TP. 🤠

I’ve seen big bucks tearing up the ground right where I pissed the day before, Budweiser Piss at that.

Out west we chit in the sage then set up on it.

Chillie, real hotdogs, wild rice soup, bar pizza Saturday night.

Piss in. Piss out.

Cooking where you're playing matters too. Leadville's 10K plus was brutal... Note the layered Sitka Gear.

PB&J and beer. Simple and effective.

Good night
I am hunting in the morning
Cheers to all

Good luck

What? No canned cranberries?

The Venison Stew is easy, just open a few jars and some thickened beef stock and heat.

I cannot even recall the last time I had dumplings, I think I shall do some major suck-holing to Mrs Stuart and remedy that.

T-bones cooked with mesquite

I could see Renengade50 out there looking like Bill Murray on Caddyshack in his homemade ghilly suit and lightning bolt face paint. 😂😂

Wild Turkey dumpling soup
Free-Range Beer-Can Chicken
I have an elk-roast or 2 left over from last fall I'll probably put onto the BGE and slice for sammiches before I head out.
If someone shoots a deer I'll grill a backstrap or TL's

Usually we cook Steaks or country style ribs first night with some kind of taters. 2nd day I slow cook a pork roast on my charcoal grill or whole chickens. We never stay longer than that anymore.

Our deer camp got sold, so for the past few years we have been using a air bnb as our new deer camp smack in the middle of the Adirondacks, We always do a bring your own steak night, always plenty of chili and bacon. I think we went through 30lbs of bacon this year.

Putting a brisket on this evening for opening weekend tomorrow. Should be ready by lunch Saturday.

Keep in mind I've been sharing whitetail camp with 3 coonasses for over 20 years now:

Shrimp etoufee
Fried crappie filets (they call them white perch)
Boudin stuffed pork chops
smoked pork loin with dirty rice dressing
green beef enchilada casserole
Axis steaks seared in cast iron
Basic chuck roast in slow cooker
Biscuits, sausage, fried eggs every day for brunch

We actually hunt when we aren't eating.

BRAVO!!!!!

LOL. And hunting with his AK-47. 😜

Hunt from home, but made this yesterday & have leftovers !

muy bien !!

Meals and the like have never been a big thing for us.

Get up - jam a pop tart in your mouth another in your pocket for lunch and hit the woods till it gets dark at night. Come back to the shack, fry a quick brat in the pan, play a game of cribbage, drink a beer. Sleep.

Rinse and repeat.

We're there to hunt - not have a Martha Stewart party in the woods.

Got a pork shoulder on the Kamado. We all take one night for dinner. That’s mine.

That aint no shidt...in the woods dark to dark and I'm gonna come in and cook a three course meal? Fugg outta here.

Dark to dark?

Sheet man, I’m coming out when my phone battery hits 20%. 😂

You all eat this well at deer camp? Holey smoke!

10 days of this in 25 mph wind, snow and rain. Wind blowin' the Camp Chef out, and 7 gallon Aquatainers freezing up -- but the guyed out tent held up and most of the time I was away somewhere else crawling up to the muleys or quartering them in the field while it was chuckin' snow. If I had a hot drink in the Dewar's flask, it was all good.

Damn that was good!!!!!!!!

Just finished.

Good Luck tomorrow Bob !!!

Thanks Neal, same to you!!!

My Wife usually sends me off with a big bowl of chicken and Dumplins and a few pans of yeast rolls made from scratch, a big bowl of Chili and a big bowl of beef stew. We'll warm these up, usually with corn bread, a veggie, or some other side. My BIL will cook fish one night, usually either Bass or Crappi fillets with fried potatoes and homemade hushpuppies, and will fry wild turkey breast one night. This is cut in strips, rolled in batter and fried. We'll usually have taco or vegetable soup one night. And we'll usually have steak one night. The stuff my Wife sends is easy to warm up. All of this will be evening meals.

Breakfast is usually coffee and a snack bar on the stand.

Lunch is usually left overs or sandwiches.

After the first week, sometime the first 5 days, me and the BIL will be the only ones there. Then it gets simpler.

Last night was fresh Grilled Venison Tenderloin and Fried Venison Heart

Always had a big meal the night before opening day.

Beef roast, ham, mashed potatoes, hot slaw, stuffed mushrooms, creamed lettuce, big pot of Manhattan style chowder.

Eat leftovers all week.

This will be camp on this Friday--- Vermont opens up on Saturday
Venison Steak & fried Taters

Wood cook stove cooking. Beer can chicken, baked potatoes and canned corn or green beans are a favorite on first Sunday night of gun Whitetail deer season.

Just saw this. Had a couple deer hunters come up to my bear camp Friday. Friday was pheasant ravioli with a pale sauce and some trimmings, last night elk stroganoff and all the trimmings. They took an 8 and 10 point, gone a few hours back. Great bunch of leftovers for me now.

Osky

Venni burger stroganoff supper;



Camp has 1 on the "pole" !





After hunt brunch;
