The eve before opening day we always have good steaks. Opening day it's usually something in the crock-pot. After the hunt we ocassionally have an Old Fashioned, or most nights a couple beers.

There's nothing like a good hot cup of coffee and a hot bowl of oatmeal and toast on the side to get you energized and ready to go on that opening day.

The deer camp salty dog is made with red grapefruit juice and vodka instead of the traditional gin. Salt to taste. The acid and the alcohol will aid the in digestion of a backstrap steak, wrapped in bacon and grilled, accompanied by a baked potato and a whole baked onion.

Used to be Beam and Coke, now Crystal light rasberry green tea.....hamburger gravy and biscuts is hard to beat after a cold damp day in the woods...

I am always in to much of a hurry to eat opening morning.

Black Haus, Blackberry Schnapps,as a chaser ...Knob Creek, Kentucky Sipping Whiskey.

For chow?
Wild Salmon and Gouda Cheese!

Sweet tea or pepsi. during the hunt gatorade
Biscuits and molasses or preserves

I'm not a member of a camp outfit, but every year a friend of ours who owns a plantation down here gets my group to come and play. They basically have a "last weekend of-the-season" get-together for all the employees & their families and close friends. Our deal is we play for free. In return we eat/drink/fish /hunt deer, ducks, & quail til' we can't stand it. I think we come out on that one.

Drink of choice: Beer, Jack & Coke, 'shine(shhhhhhh)

Main meal: Deer cube steaks & gravy, all the fixins, sweet tea, homemade cake and peach cobbler

Meal of the last day: Quail fixed every way you can think of....rice & gravy, greens,corn, biscuits & cane syrup, sweet tea

After the hunt(good or bad), a GOOD rye and coke. In moderation. As for meals. Night before opener, used to be bacon wraped dove breast smoked on a grill. Now it's tender-loins/hams from year before smoked.

Pop a top in my camp before all the guns are properly cleaned and put up, all the chores including gathering and cutting wood etc are done at the end of the day and before you’re ready to turn in, you’re going home period!

For dinner Back strap or steak, gravy, mashed or baked potatoes and fried in aluminum foil corn and Coke or a cold glass of 2% Milk!

For lunch, I've even had right out of the can SpaghettiOs, is an American brand of canned spaghetti that consists of small, circular pasta shapes, suspended in cheese and tomato sauce. Besides the plain version, other varieties of SpaghettiOs include miniature meatballs and a coke!
