It varies, last weekend we grilled 26 dove breasts on an open fire. It was fantastic. Sometimes we cook venison, but mostly bring fairly simple things to prepare. A big bag of already cooked fried chicken is a go-to. Lots of snacks, baked beans, potato salad, BBQ can all be on the menu. We're planning for one of us to bring a smoked hind quarter one weekend.
Mountain House freeze dried meals. I'm a "less is more" guy.
I have seen those never had them any count?
Can't speak for SpecializedJon but I'd rather eat tree bark if given the option.
That answers why you missed that buck, all those Chili Mac mountain houses make it hard to settle in!
Oh so you're one of those "rough and tough back country" hunters. Lol
100%
Jon and I enjoy backcountry lattes and vegan freeze dried meals whilst we stroll through the wilderness in our puffy Patagonia jackets, ever so often taking a break to ponder the awesomeness of seek1.

I guess I can't join the club with my Ozark trail thermos with Mayfield eggnog. My Mossy Oak 100% cotton hoodie. While I eat my instant garlic mashed potatoes from the bag.
Some are better than others.....
If Mayfeilds makes a pumpkin spice eggnog, then snag me a pint and you can join our club. I go full blown white chick on anything pumpkin spice.
Y'all can have my eggnog. I don't drink liquid eggs and I'm not sure what "nog" is.
"Full blown white chick"

Deer heart with peppers onions and rice. Fajita style. That's if someone kills one.
Mission accomplished, another thread struck down in its prime. Thread Killa out…

The breakfasts at camp are what I look forward to. Fried eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and sausage gravy. The only time of the year I eat that "heavy," but I love it.
Yuengling and cigar
That sounds like me when I was doing Service work ran on Mountain Dew and Redman haha
My late grandfather was the king of post hunt breakfast. Eggs any way, sausage/bacon/ham, sausage gravy, biscuits, grits and fried apples. Being a retired Sgt Major and particular about the mess hall breakfast, he would surprise us with sh!t on shingles (SOS). The name would always trip my friends out but that delicious gravy spread thick over toast served with his overly strong coffee was the best.
Man do I miss those mornings....
That's awesome. There is NOTHING BETTER than waking up in camp to the smell of bacon and coffee. I love me some SOS.
Ham and cheese,spam ,vienie sausage,pn butter,tater chips,little Debbie cookies, beef stew and rice
One of my two hunting buddies has gotten lazy, so usually we only eat supper in camp one night of a typical three day hunt. So, usually it's the nearest Mexican or pizza joint.
On that one night, chili is our standard. Occasionally we will grill steaks. As far as breakfast, it's usually something quick that we don't have to cook. All three of us have gotten lazy about that, and none of us are motivated to sacrifice an extra hour of cot time for a hot breakfast. I may have to change that since the camp experience is starting to mean as much to me as the woods time. Besides, the ready- made stuff gives me the squirts, and I lose the first half hour of every morning frantically looking for a tree to lean against.

I don't do a true deer camp, at least until maybe this year. I usually just make me a 24oz cup of coffee, pack a pop tart, some trail mix and or trail bars in my pack and eat in my shoot house. I sometimes pack a sandwich or even an MRE now and then but normally am ok without. I normally have dinner at the house, shower and head back out to sleep in my travel trailer so no need for making anything for dinner there.
This year I plan to do, at the most, a 5 day hunt at my new place. It's 2.5 hour one way so will have to stay put until I either get a deer, or I run out of this years planned PTO. I'll be bringing coffee, bacon, sausage, eggs, lunch meat and fixings for sandwiches. If I can, I may take some small game to supplement that, and if I take a deer, I'll cook up some heart fajitas before heading home. There is a mexican restaurant within a short driving distance too, so it's another option if the small game don't pan out.
