Holy cr*p, that's quite the spread! Ever thought of opening a catering business to hungry hunters? Damn, that almost makes me move back to the lower mainland, so I can run away with that sort of selection

Sideofbarn - I have always wanted to be a camp cook considering I don't have as many hunting trips in a season at least I can fill the hunter's bellies

[Sharkey]

One lucky husband I tell ya!! Looks great!
~D

[Fisher-Dude]

I'll be lookin for his camp, maybe pull a cooler raid when he's nappin! ;-)

I'll be packin some Ichibans, instant coffee, a loaf of bread and some cold cuts to get thru our trip to region 5. :-(

[huntermike]

WOW I dont eat that well at home ,I think im in love!HA HA!!!:smile:

Wow what a great prep. Boy your hubby is lucky:smile:

[NaStY]

I'm going to copy and paste all those pics and send them via email to my wife.. :biggrin:

I'm pretty sure she would do the same for me when i go again......

[newhunterette]

report: phone call from Cache Creek - downpour weather wise - won't be a dry camp set up tonight

good day if your a duck or fish I guess

[rock]

If I had a spread of food like that to go hunting I might not hunt, To Full..

[newhunterette]

thanks y'all - rule # 1 eat a healthy breaky - rule#2 pack light easy snack foods for hiking and hunting but healthy and drink lots of water throughout the day - rule #3 after long hard day no food prepping to do just heat the stove and cook, eat a big hungryman's meal and sleep well then up early for another hard day - rule #4 make sure u rememebr to say thank you to wifey for being so thoughtful when u get home or she will prep food for other hunters and let you starve (oops sorry rule#4 was inside thoughts)

[Sideofabarn]

You forgot rule #5, marry someone who can cook, and who actually looks after you every once in a while! Damn I get tired of being a housewife sometimes!

[Mr. Dean]

Ali,

I'm out tomorrow night and will be gone till Tuesday. Feel like packing me a lunch???


I could pick it up on my way bye...




Oh ya. I'm also sure that I'll be pretty beat up and sore, when I get back!

Let me know when you're done w/ Wayne. :eek:

[Gateholio]

Remember the old saying. A WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS SOMACH! How true. -What are greek potatoes?(pardon my ignorance) .

Not my heart...I can cook just fine.

The way to my heart is through a different part of the anatomy.:biggrin:

[Brambles]

Are you "F"ing with us, that is disgusting. He's going hunting. What happened to taking a loaf of bread and some sandwich meat and a couple packages of steaks or sausages. I'd hate to see the $$$$ spred out on that table right now. Pretty hard to wake up before first light when your sleeping after those meals. Whatever turns your crank I guess, maybe a bit of jelousy talkin, no one makes me SFA for dinners while hunting, but it does seem a little elaborate.

Hope he kills something big to offset the cost of food

[boxhitch]

AND THEY ARE OFF
I finally looked into this thread. Avoided it because I thought Ali's hubby had an operation, or something tragic happen.
Now I see its about food. Sheesh
The man is overfed. A tough hunter is a hungury hunter.

[Derek_Erickson]

It's four thirty now, come 5 o'clock I'm off for the weeekend of bowhuntin' blacktails woohoo

[Stone Sheep Steve]

How much of their food usually comes home??

It would be one lucky bear to raid their stash whilst they're out hunting;-).
How far is the Gang from here:smile:?

Brambles this started 15 years ago when Peter started a fishing derby with his buds - and when he began hunting I just kept up with it - I am not messing with anyone - it is what I enjoy doing to make his camp a little more home when he is away - I never looked a it as elaborate and it really is not that expensive to prepare for - convenience foods are more costly


AND THEY ARE OFF

sorry bostich I'll try and keep my stories more upbeat so not to scare you - I have always done this for him - used to be smaller portions but his buddies seemed to complain so now I always make sure I add extra for sharing or if someone happens to join them in camp


How much of their food usually comes home?? only food to come home is when he comes homes early - he always eats what I prepare for him but some of his hiking foods comes home
It would be one lucky bear to raid their stash whilst they're out hunting.
How far is the Gang from here:smile:?not sure SSS - I know 5 hours from me

That was an awesome job you did for your hubby Ali. I hope he is very proud of what you did for him ,i know that i would. In my hunting career have never have had that done for me ,like what you did for Peter ,you are a very caring person ,and you should be very proud of yourself Ali http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif. If i had that kind of treatment from my wife ,i would take her were ever she wanted to go for a holiday. And when i came back from my hunting trip ,i would bring her a bow-cay of flowers ,with a nice meaning card to boot. Way to be Ali ,good on you http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif.

So...........Peter need a new hunting buddy? Wow that is some fantastic grub!! Gotta eat out in the woods after a hard days hunting. What a lucky bugger! I really can't complain though my wife usually puts good grub in the cooler too. Can't survive on crackers and ichy, beer yes....... especially BUD!!! cans make attractive 22 targets! Just kidding though I would stir the soup a little. Moosin

[Nimrod]

Are you kidding me:shock:!!! I want a cooler like that......the misses has to come have a look at this....who am I kidding ...nice dream.
I think you have a business opportunity there.
awesome

[browningboy]

Spread looks good NH! but I have to say it seems strange to post pics of food?:wink:
Anyhow to each their own but I'm sure the hubby is a happy hunter!

[Walksalot]

I just brought my wife down and showed her the pictures. She walked away muttering something about walking on the frozen ceiling of hell before that would happen.

[lunatic]

Very nice Ali ! My wife treats me the same way on my trips. Always prepares my meals in much the same way as yours. Believe me, it is sure appreciated after a hard days hunt to be able to come back to camp and just put a meal on the fire to cook. We also have a camp set-up about 30 mins from our house so in the fall when the in-laws are up she comes out every evening and prepares us some awesome meals. We never have any trouble sleeping or getting up the next morning. Keep up the good work because I know your husband appreciates it very much.

I'd hate to see the $$$$ spred out on that table right now.Smells like jealousy to me. I don't get the dollar issue -- I eat pretty good at home too. It doesn't cost more to eat in camp.

We usually eat pretty good. Normally each person is responsible for 1 or 2 dinners but this year there was only 3 of us so one person stepped up and prep'd all the food. With more people we usually do a turkey but not this year.

Ali -- nice spread. I like the foiled veggies; I'll try that on my next expedition.

This coming from a guy that just dropped WELL over $2000 on a custom rifle....why not a Stevens 200 for $359?

Each to their own dude.....

[newhunterette]

So...........Peter need a new hunting buddy?heck if he had more hunting buds I would never get a trip in a season with him and have to look for a new partner for me I really can't complain though my wife usually puts good grub in the cooler too.I am thinking the majority of y'all wives look after u guys pretty dern good or ya wouldn't be leaving the house for ur hunting trips

[quote=mpotzold;204984]Where is THE PASTRY? Home made apple pies, muffins etc.(Quick energy in the cold) Anyways you are extremely well organized .(What do the coolers look like when you come along??) if i am going on the trip - well the cooler looks a little different because usually a few extra mouths to feed in the camp - fishing derby coolers are filled a little differently - then the deserts are available


Are you kidding me:shock:!!! I want a cooler like that......the misses has to come have a look at this....who am I kidding ...nice dream.

[newhunterette]

okay got a phone call from Clinton - Peter is on his way home - says the weather cancelled their morning hunt as the wind was so bad - saw lots of different sceneray this time around had the chance at a 3 point but passed it up hoping for bigger and - sigh no meat coming home for the freezer - now y'all know why I have to send that kind of food with him if i didn't he would have to live off tag soup

I never got to ask about pictures as his cell phone cut out on us but I am sure I will have something to post later when he gets home

[Sharkey]

The wind must be province-wide. I'm in Vernon and it's W-I-N-D-Y here too. Looking forward to the photos. We should add a recipe to the book that's all veggies (no meat) and call it Tag Soup :smile: If things don't look up over the next few weeks, I'll need that recipe!
