tim,

yep..we have a clubhouse at our camp and on the night of opening day we have a big pot-luck dinner. after dinner we present award for best scoring buck from the previous year and draw the raffle ticket for our annual gun raffle (i won last year!)...good time had by all

 

[Jim Thompson]

I usually have saved up some fresh Tenderloin that will have been marinating for a couple of days. We eat that for an appetizer and then load up on some type of peas (black eye w/ jalepeno) and green beans and maybe some ribs or bbq chicken.

we usually have a big ole steak dinner with all that goes with it friday night just to get things started. then we slow cook a pig all day saturday and have hash, brunswick stew, potatoe salad, and a nice cold beer. looking forward to it, especially some cold weather to go with it all.

Last year we had a fish fry with all the trimmings, though the camp cook left us so I don't know what we'll do this year... :

Another fish fry would be nice though if'n we had some fish. I've got some though not nearly enough for the whole crowd.

 

[Sandman619]

big fat steak, taters, corn on the cob

I cant wait!

 

[Woody]

The last couple of years -- we've cooked a Pig and had all the trimmings.

Mighty fine eating.

 

[stumpman]

Can i come eat with some of yall i cant even get everyone together to have a cook out we all live less than 10 miles from the club!

 

[Jeff Phillips]

We buy some whole ribeyes, then cut however many steaks we need to feed everyone and use all the meat. 1 year they were over 2 1/2" thick 1 guy in camp calls em "Flintstone Steaks" cause they would turn Fred's car over

We cook sweet taters on coals from the fire and a very small salad to go with it.

 

[duke13]

Friday night we have a big cookout with hotdogs, burgers, tater salad, beans and a big ol pot of chili!

 

[How2fish]

We usally cook a hindquarter or two. Maybe Smoke a boston butt, buy a bushel of oysters, bake taters, big salad ect. Can't wait!

 

[PHIL M]

we have opening day cookouts every night. smoked salmon, steaks, kabobs, bbq chicken, backstraps, ribs, vegies, salads, you get the picture!

 

[Guy]

We always eat pretty good. Last year one of our members who is an EMT and cooks in contests did some ribs and sausage last year.

Who knows what's in store this year. Maybe some Oysters for a starter. We had a bunch last year. Then to some kind of meat with all the trimmings.

Never had a bad meal at camp!

 

[HT2]

Hmmmmm???????

Ah, good!!!!!!!!

Now I got a bunch of choices to choose from......

Let's see who's gonna get a visitor opening weekend.......

Pig Question

For those of you that do a pig at camp, do you cook it whole or just BBQ small pieces?

If you cook it whole, how do you do it? Been thinking about doing a whole pig and need ideas on how to cook it. I know it's time consuming, but would welcome any words of wisdom from someone who has done it before.

 

[slow motion]

Seems weve pretty much hashed out game warden interactions and not a lot else going on so I've been reading old threads lately. Wondered if anybody still does this kinda thing? 2 years ago in Illinois one of the guys grilled steaks. Another time a guy had a couple crockpots of food. Last year I went and visited brother @Jim Boyd and ate with him and his brother as well as enjoyed a libation and lively conversation. Before that however I haven't done anything similar in several years. What about yall?

 

[slow motion]

Oh and I met @flatwoods one evening. He showed me around the little town of Jerseyvile and while we ate at a restaurant it technically wasn't a deer camp meal but I say it still counts.

 

[Grunt-n-bleat]

We dont have that level of participation in our huntin club. Heck i only see some member once or twice a year at best.

This thread has or had some members who know how to do it right!! Wish our club was like some of yalls on the opening day eats.

Man you sure enough dug up and ole one.. 20 years One. lol.. I don’t reckon people take time too much to do these things like they use to. Everybody always in a hurry.. I’m sure some older folks might that have time retired or just ole Traditions. It’s an act of god to get people together for anything anymore
