Whats your go-to field meal after a successful hunt?

First town meal...

After coming out heavy this year took my two buddies to dinner Dominos. Tab was $75 for three dudes before tip.

My preferred first town meal is a greasy spoon / diner kinda meal. Breakfast at any time. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, coffee, and pie. Maybe a country fried steak. Corned hash.

I like a meal at a Irish Pub, if available because you can get some real heavy food with the aforementioned salad. Usually, from my experience, you can get Irish Pubs to make you breakfast afterhours as well. And, of course, The aforementioned salad + pints of Guinness.

That being said, if you’re hunting in the SW and can find a family style Mexican restaurant, it can be a big score

My Dad insists upon Liver and onions. The liver is soaked in milk, dredged in seasoned flour and fried in bacon grease.

I've sworn off that except for a little taste because the last time I over indulged in it I had black scours for 24 hours....

I bring a Walla Walla sweet onion and a stick of butter along with a few pinches of salt and pepper. If I’m camping and not backpacking, I also bring a badass bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Lately, Pine Ridge Stags Leap Vineyard has been making the trip.

I soak the liver overnight in cold fresh water then the next evening sauté the sliced onions in half the butter and the thin-sliced liver in the rest, add a bit of salt and pepper and serve with the Pine Ridge Cabernet in our Yeti Tumbler coffee mugs.

A flask of good Islay Scotch comes out after the meal and wine are gone, and due respect is given to the elk.

My favorite is taking heart and stuffing ventricles with jalapenos and wrap in bacon (if available) or wrap in full fat from animal.

Nothing in the atriums?

A combination of meat I don't want to carry (usually ribs) and whatever's left in my pack. Something the military eloquently refers to as "rat fornicating."

When I get out its usually either a large pizza or a cheeseburger. Something to help me pass all the Mountain House out of my system.

Cut the tenderloins into smaller strips, season a bit with salt and pepper, then wrap them in one layer of caul fat....roast over the fire. Absolutely the most incredible little meal you could have up there.

Yes those too.. lol I figured everyone would get the idea.

Historically.........eggs, hashbrowns, sour dough toast, a big ole chicken fried steak with country gravy, and coffee.

Oh, I feel for you. It is too big a task for one person, so we would usually double up with another member and help each other. Ask what was popular in the past.

Bake up a ton of loaves, squares well in advance...and do all the shopping early.
We would have to do them in the darndest places...on the banks of the Fraser River out of a truck, or at best, a camper...in an old barn where we have to bring electric cords and even light bulbs..it is usually raining, so tarps help...
it was fun, but for me took a lot of planning. You are lucky to have an oven!

First elk we killed we hit a Quiznos right before it closed on the drive back. Big mistake. Dude asked if I wanted the sub toasted. I said yes... apparently the toaster wasn’t working so while I was in the bathroom he decided to put the sub in the microwave. What came out was a soggy resemblence of a sub that tasted as bad as it looked... When packing the first load out my mind goes to the beers that are on ice back at the truck. I Usually buy a something that I typically wouldn’t treat myself to. After that my mind goes biscuits and gravy.

I have seen people serve these really quite good chicken pot pies from Costco. They were large with a lattice top and were so good I thought a caterer had made them. There is not a Costco near me, but if I lived near one I would not hesitate to serve these for a breakfast if you have access to a way to heat them. Buy and heat and serve with an easy bagged salad, pre-made fruit salad, cookies and drinks.
