Ok, your out in the woods just waking up and getting ready to go hunting but there's a dilemma what do you eat? Vote to say what meal you would eat. :twocents:  :IBCOOL:

I put bacon and eggs because there wasn't sausage and eggs.
For the cooler months, as much fat as I can get.

 I voted for the first choice. However if it doesn't involve coffee I'd rather have dirt and coffee.

None of the above.  Growing up in deer camp in WI we would do scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon though.

I usually just eat a bowl of cold cereal and have juice, but I'm also usually by myself when I'm hunting away from home.  During archery elk I would try to pick some blackberries to add to my cereal.  Now, if I was camping at Banks Lake in the summer, breakfast would be butter sauteed trout, bass, walleye, perch, etc. with some onions and an over easy egg or two.

Hashbrowns & gravy for our camp

My Moms Dirt gravy. It is country gravy for the most part but the roux is actually browned quite heavily and it has no less than a pound of each country sausage and end & pieces bacon cooked hard with whole milk,butter and plenty of salt and pepper served on biscuits or my Favorite Australian toaster biscuits.  :drool:

I've been doing this more in recent years--eating a full breakfast and drinking lots of fluids even if it means I'm not glassing as the sun comes up. If I get a full breakfast I can go all day with just a few snacks until dinner. Contrast that to the guys who head back to camp at 10:00am for a late brunch because "the best hunting is over." Last few years I've spotted most of my deer mid day.

I voted #1

But when my grandfather was still alive grandma would make canned elk gravy over poached eggs and toast before we headed out hunting.  My Oh My!!!  Was that good stuff :drool:

Lately we have been doing the frozen Jimmy Dean - Sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches in the microwave.  Little more sleep and a lot less smell!  They are actually pretty dang good.  Late season we usually hunt from home, but drive past Jack in the Crack and get the Sausage egg and cheese biscuit.

I guess my choice of number one was more or less a dream breakfast before hunting  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: I started thinking about the last time I actually had that before I went out and it's been awhile. More often then not I'm eating a cliff bar and drinking coffee  :(.

Sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, huckleberry pancakes, camp coffee.....with zero yellow jackets dive bombing!

Post by: h20hunter on August 05, 2014, 07:17:57 AM
I voted bacon and eggs. God knows I love some bacon and eggs. However, I'll throw this out there. The best, absolute best, breakfast is one you don't have to cook. When it isn't your morning to cook and you can roll out of the rack/tent/cabin/bivy/trailer and be handed a hot cup of coffee and the smell off cooked food hits you....that is the best.

From that list, 1 or 3. But I always have my own choices and its always corned beef hash and eggs before setting out hunting.

Rad you can cook most of it the night before when cooking dinner.  Then just stack a bunch on top the wood stove in the middle of the night when adding a log.  Then it is nice and ready at wake up time and you get plenty of sleep.
What's great is French toast for the sandwich bread, then cheese, egg, sausage, potato and syrup.

Camp potatoes, eggs over easy, crispy maple bacon and an Obsidian stout to wash it all down.   :EAT:

TIP: Never eat fruit before a hunt it effects your shooting. I'm not 100% sure why but its something about it being acetic. :tup:

Two favorite morning meals give me enough energy to go hard all day and not think about eating 'til dinner. The easiest is four eggs scrambled along with a half plate of grits (lots of butter of course). But my favorite breakfast is "special spicy grits". I'll provide ingredients/instructions but you can certainly customize to your liking.

1 cup grits
1/2 onion (sliced French style)
2 or 3 pickled jalapeno peppers (remove seeds, slice French style)
3 carrot slices (the spicy ones that come in the can of whole jalapenos, for flavor and color, also sliced French style)
2 beef brats (or smoky pork) of the Johnsonville variety, sliced banana style
salt to taste
1/4 stick butter

Boil water appropriate for 1 cup grits, add salt. Stir in grits and reduce heat. When grits begin to get thick, add onion and butter. Reduce heat and keep stirring. When grits are as thick as peanut butter, remove heat, stir in remaining ingredients and cover. Let sit for five minutes. Get some Kleenex ready in case your nose starts running. This could feed two people but sometimes I'll just eat all of it.

My normal breakfast is Starbuck Via coffee (because it is quick) and a Special K breakfast bar or Happy Valley salty nut bar.

My favorite is bacon wrapped grouse and an egg scramble with bacon or sausage and cheese.
And more coffee.

I had heard anything that spikes blood sugar levels!  I assume some fruits would be one of those.  I've also heard it depends on a persons blood type which fruits and carbs effect shooting.  I know RedBull makes me shake and twitch worse than Michael J Fox giving a speech on stem cell research! :o

I want to know what Jimtheplummer eats!  I might have to give that a try  :chuckle:

Besides spam and eggs, that is a duck blind breakfast-LOL. Big game hunting I like yogurt drinks that are low in sugar, low sugar protein bar and some coffee. In my pack I carry the same type of bar and zero cal water drink. And an apple if my blood sugar gets to low.

Fry up red potatoes and venison sausage and then drown it all in gravy!  Wash it down with about a gallon of coffee and you are good to go until about noon!  Stick to your ribs stuff!

If I ate that and washed it down with a gallon of coffee...I wouldn't make it to the truck before I had to dump a load.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
