A friend has an elk hunt next week and I'm the camp cook. Hopefully we'll be eating backstrap but was thinking about doing chili dogs one night and wondered if anyone had a good recipe. Any other tried and true hunt cook suggestions welcome too. Appreciate this group.

    This as well as the sleeping arrangements are an important factor. 

    The chili dogs may seem like a good idea now, but...

    could make it a little easier on yourself if you have a vacuum sealer.

    Thanks @alaskanassasin

    If I go elk hunting with friends,  we don't eat that well...we're packing light and usually eating mountain house meals, oatmeal and jerky for a week.

    The one time I went with an outfitter they provided all the food. 

    Duck camp is a different story. I will say cornbread is always welcome and keeps pretty easy. Nights can get chilly in the mountains pretty quick even though it's only early September..so think warm stews /soups..
    Other food for thought is stuff that will be easy on GI tract..hiking mountains with a 50lb pack is hard enough without worry about having to poop every 30 minutes
