OT- homemade meals while on the road

Just got back from our public land hunt in SD.

We left Vicksburg MS at 3:30am Sunday 10/27 and met my cousin at Perkins in
Yankton at 6:30pm on our way to Mitchell.

2nd night, we ate at Cattleman’s club in Mitchell because its an annual tradition.

3rd night we made pheasant and sausage jambalaya at our Airbnb.

4th night we made crockpot pepper steak and onions at the Airbnb.

5th night was pheasant and corn chowder at the Airbnb.

The home cooked meals hit the spot!

I don’t know if it’s affiliated with the one in Pierre but if it is this is one of my favorite restaurants. We eat there at least once every time we are there hunting or fishing!
 
A few years ago,I was out in the camper,and a turkey wandered by.I watched hin go down the coole to the crick.I grabbed my turkey gun, and loaded a 3 inch lead BB.I then put the stalk on him.I was able to dispatch him near the crick.I ate turkey that night.
 
When I do my buddy trip in December with 3 other friends, we stay in a nice old farm house. It's 20-30 minutes to a decent restaurant so we do most cooking ourselves, then take the land owners out one night for steaks.
Typical meal planning is each guy is responsible for 1 day's breakfast, and 1 night's supper. We each do some meal prep ahead of time.
A 4 night stay for us would have a menu with some/most of the following:

Breakfast
  • burritos - eggs, diced ham, diced bacon, peppers, mushrooms, etc. all pre-cooked and ready for assembly
  • pancakes and breakfast sausages
  • loaded egg bake
Supper
  • Pheasant pot pies - pre assembled and frozen. Thaw, oven, enjoy.
  • Jalepeno poppers & chislic - wild game, pre assembled, toss them on the grill. Fry chislic while poppers are grilling.
  • Fish fry - walleye & fresh cut fries
Field lunches vary. There's many days we're limited by early afternoon so we just snack/graze back at the house. One day each trip we travel to a property about 45 minutes away so I bring my blackstone and we cook brats, phillys, steak tips, etc on the tailgate.

I have a whole tote assembled for camp cooking. I can whip up some damn good meals on a tail gate between a blackstone and a 2 burner coleman.
 
With our group, it is just easier if I plan (with suggestions), purchase and prepare all the meals. No duplication of ingredients.
We have omelets with phez bacon, blueberry pancakes, cinnamon French toast and maple syrup from friends. We are not in a hurry to start hunting and enjoy the food and company. I don’t work until the coffee does.
Dinner always after cocktail hour with snacks. We have had leg of lamb, cap steaks, French onion pheasant bubble up and ribs pretty much every trip. Frozen fruit pie for dessert. Because I cook there are on washing dishes for me. No complaints, my dad owned a restaurant.
Excuse me, I’m making dinner, having a Guinness and waiting for football.
