Hunting camp food

[Team Hoyt]

So what's everyone's favorite or tradition food at deer camp. We're doing our steak bake Friday night and we'll have venison chili for Saturday.

[NFA-ADK]

Venison stew is a good one but we ended up having tenderloins from the buck I got that day instead due to the fact that I did not shoot one before the trip.

When my Mom and Dad were still alive and owned the farm, my version of deer camp was having 3 or 4 friends up to hunt the property the first few days... My Mom always made a big kettle of homemade vegetable beef soup....

Each guy at camp is in charge of dinner on separate days I'm either doing a venison stew or some pork loins on my day. Another guy is doing venison meatball bombers and not sure what the other guys are cooking.

I love a roast in the crock pot! With all the fixings! Smell it when u walk in! So good! And biscuits and gravy with eggs for breakfast 

[philoshop]

Venison stew or goulash (stew with noodles) and biscuits for dinner. Spicy venison sausage and eggs in the morning with a pile of homefries. Fire in the belly to start the day. Bring TP.

I really miss the traditions of deer camp. Easily my fondest life memories. Even the horrendous farts that guys would manage to come up with were tolerable under the circumstances. ;-) Lots of laughs, hugs, and back-clapping.

Where and when is camp?

[The_Real_TCIII]

My mom will usually make us a monster lasagna. We used to really go all out when the opener was Monday but now theres just no time. Everyone gets back to camp at 6 and we're too tired to bother so we head to town for wings

We do the same at my club/camp. I usually make beef short ribs one night. For my second night I make breaded chicken cutlets with peas and rice , and a gravy of one can cream of chicken and two cans of cream of mushroom combined. Others make veal cutlet parm, stew, Sauerbraten, Roast beef, BBQ venison, baked 1/2 chickens.....Plus there's always a big Crappie fish fry Friday before opener.

We sure don't starve.

Deer camp is for me is at home.  Breakfast will likely be smiley face pancakes.  Lunch will consist of some PB&J sandwiches with the crust cut off, paw patrol cheese sticks and fruit snacks.  And for dinner, maybe we'll go all out with chicken nuggets and tater tots.

[moog5050]

Culver planned a darn good menu in bear camp!

[Robhuntandfish]

we usually do fishing trip camp.  But i usually make a can cooker meal.  Salt potatoes, corn on the cob, keilbasa, shrimp, and throw in some creole seasoning.  When its done throw it in a big foil pan and everyone pigs out and grabs a beer!

 

[Jeremy K]

Deer camp is my buddies house and before that was my dad and I in a trailer ,we always just ate tv dinners for every meal. I guess ive never actually been to an official "deer" camp.

[ApexerER]

Deer camp for me consists of everyone meeting at the 24h Dunkin donuts, maybe lunch at the diner and home for dinner....

[Culvercreek hunt club]

We really aren't set on any particular menu item but there will be game dishes, usually venison. I will say that there is one mandatory tradition for me and that is in memory of my Dad becasue we always did it together and that is bologna sandwiches on watch with sharp cheese and hot mustard. Some our past dishes are Venison Fajitas, venison or bear stew, goulash, marinated and grilled backstrap, venison empinadas, stroganoff, and we always have a make your own pizza night.

When I used to go to a camp in Steuben county in the mid-late 90's as a teen we always had a big venison hind quarter smoked up Saturday night before the Monday opener, lots of beers and Black Velvet were consumed by the older guys and usually a lot of cards being played. The following day most everybody took it easy to get ready to go out Monday morning. Man it was fun! 

[Eric J]

Recently for me and the guys I hunt with... A Saturday night Prime Rib dinner cooked up in the house we rent for the month.

[Buckmaster7600]

I eat a lot of pasta to carb load. Any other time I hate pasta but usually make ziti or goulash to eat while I’m here. Also a lot of eggs and hot dogs.

Dont do much now. Wife always makes me chili. But used to go to my cousins camp when i was a teen and everyone brought bacon venison onions peppers and through it on a massive stove top ran by a wood fire.  Tossed it on a sub roll with a side of beans and some chips. Still can remember that taste. Always got a kick out of my older relatives letting loose without there wives to keep track of them.
