Deer Camp Menu Honorable Mentions

[SD51555]

It's almost time. I've been prepping since Monday night to get some feature items ready for camp this weekend. Let's face it, in northern MN, you have to have more to look forward to in case the deer don't show up. Big items this year on the menu include:

Homemade whole wheat organic heirloom sprouted spelt flour and whole flax seed bread (you can eat a whole piece before you're done naming it)
Brown's Ranch grass fed non-gmo, no jabbed, no-slabbed heritage breed bone-in pork chops grilled over carefully selected and aged 2 years black ash wood harvested on site.
Homemade chicken wildrice soup from scratch. Real outdoor chicken, broth, and all the other pinky in the air attributes. No soup kits, artificial flavors, or any other sources of bad shit here.

Anyone else put some heart into it? I vetoed making einkorn cheezits this year. I only have so much time.

Jeekers. I actually prefer to keep deer camp food simple. I get fancy at home after the harvest.

But I applaud your effort. I'm a huge fan of natural local food. I'm impressed you have the wherewithal to make the effort during deer camp.

I try to keep it simple too. Usually make all my meals ahead of time and microwave them. Especially breakfast, eat fat n hit the stand.

Wife made me a turey before opening weekend rifle in northern NY. Full turkey dinner...... hard to beat that.

One year made the guys venison cutlets with dumplings. Some years make a soup and leave it on the woodstove. manhattan chower, tortilla soup, beef vegetable. Wife's making me beef vegetable tonight. Got docotr visit hunt the evening

some guys make casseroles or lasagna and toss it in the oven. A few just have a case of bud light for dinner.

When I was younger and the days and nights were longer, I'd cook full on, fairly elaborate meals, more so than I would at home.

Now days, a dozen or two eggs, a loaf of bread and some cold cuts and I'm fine for a week. Even that's more than I really need. Way too much "eating because there's nothing else to do" goes on.


Most memorable.. for many reasons. In 2001, I went on a boar hunt in September. So in November I brought up half a hind end and we had roast Russian Boar one night... and several others as well. Best meat I've ever eaten.
The hunt was September 9th 2001, with a family member and his partner, both NYPD. I took a lot of photos on that trip and never had the film developed, because two days later it didn't seem particularly important anymore. They were not there at the time, but were for the recovery efforts. Years later the family member passed from what was ruled a 9-11 related illness.
