Deer Camp Favorite

[CampYJewel]

With the opener just a few days away I was wondering what everyone eats at deer camp?  Our camp has a ton of fun cooking and then when all the Aunts come out they can't believe what we made!!!!

On Friday night everyone brings a steak or something to grill.  Then we fry up some potatoes and maybe cook a squash.

A few of our other camp favorites include fresh bread at dinner, stuff as much crap in the big roaster including, fresh camp meat, potatoes, cabbage, onions, mushrooms, carrots. tomatoes, rutabega, and what ever we can find!!  There is always a good blessing over the food with Vodka to insure it cooks well ::cheers::

The best recipie we have come up with is for squash.  Cut the top off and scoop out the seeds.  Pour in a can of crushed pineapple and a handful of brown sugar.  Put the top back on and find a spot in the oven next to all the other stuff we have cooking.  Then head out to stand!! (if you are doing this in your home oven I would reccomend a pan under incase stuff boils out, at deer camp no one gives a s*@#.)  The other good one is frozen bread dough.  There is a quick rise method that works perfect.

My dad always makes pancakes (all you can eat) in the morning before opener.  Nothing like having some flap jacks before heading out to the woods.

My grandma always brings a couple of homemade pies to deer camp. Mmmm mmm good.

We always go to the neighboring town for the Lutefisk and Sveedish meat ball feed.  They raffel a few things off and its a good time.  I think I'll try my worlds easiest stew this year.  Here it is if you wnat to try it:

1 package of stew meat
1 can of Golden Mushroom soup
1 can of French Onion soup

Mix all 3 and put in the oven covered for 3 hours at 300.  Good over rice.  Yummy.   ::

Deer camp this year is up at the in-laws.

Mrs. Jackpine will sit back with her mom, while Jackpine Jr., Lil Ms. Jackpine, Grandpa and I will be out chasing da turdy point buck.

I'm going to toss several pounds of last year's deer steaks into the big crockpot, with a can of Cream of Mushroom soup, a half a can of water, a couple of cans of drained mushrooms, a packet of Liptons Onion Soup mix, and enough Yukon Gold spuds to make things interesting.

Mrs. Jackpine will plug the crockpot in around noon or so, and when we get home well after O-Dark-Thirty things should be ready to gobble down.

Lunch that day will be Bambi Burgers (from Jr's first-ever bow kill) supplemented with pork n beans and chips.  I bring a camp stove and essential cooking gear, and hot lunch is a real must for our crew.  Perhaps this year we will manage to outwit the lunchtime buck.  The Lunchtime Buck is a wily creature who magically appears on the treeline about 1/2 mile north of us every year, passing directly beneath one of our favorite stands after the last hungry hunter leaves to head in to chow down.  For over 20 years we have laughed, cried, and tried to outwit the Lunchtime Buck, but he still lives.

Last year, the Lunchtime Buck surprised me at the truck as I set up the tables and got the stove going.  Hoping to get Lil Ms. a shot, I herded it away from the truck and got it headed towards the folks heading in for lunch.  Cleverly, it had disguised itself as a doe, and trotted within a few yards of Lil Ms. and Grandpa, who were trying to figure out why I was making such wierd gyrations and desperate pointing motions as they walked towards the truck.  They never saw it.....

Lunch on Sunday will be the last of our deer polish sausage from last year (a long-standing tradition).  If the weather cooperates we sit out on lawn chairs near the truck and relax while lunch is bubbling away.

Jackpine Rob, I know all about lunchtime buck. He is a wiley creature that many a hunter has seen but not gotten. Perhaps you will be the first to outsmart this wise old beast. If you do you got to tell us how you did it.
