My hunting group is made up of 5 familes, and during the opening week of gun season, we have 17 hunters. All the venison, duck, pheasant, etc. is all game that we harvested ourselves during the previous year.

Yes, we do spend a lot of $$ on groceries, but when you split it up, it isn't that bad at all. Plus, when I say fresh rolls...I am talking about the tubes of Pillsbury rolls that you just heat up.

We do not have running water nor electricity at our cabin, so we cook with propane stove/oven. We also use a large grill made out of 55 gallon metal drums.

Unlike so many hunting groups, we actually HUNT during the season. We don't have afternoon card games, and no one drinks while the sun is up.No one goes to town during the legal hunting hours. We are there to HUNT. During opening weekend nearly all 17 of the hunters stay in their stands from 6:30am to 5pm or so. Only a couple leave their stand for lunch.

So after hunting hard in the cold Wisconsin forest, we refuel with a good meal.

Of course, trying to wash dishes for 17 people by using water heated up on a stove, and dumped into a plastic tub, does take time...that is why the rule is that the youngest guy in camp have to take turns doing dishes.

Good thing I didn't mention the desserts we have....homemade pies, plus some others from Baker's square. We may not have a fancy cabin, or indoor plumbing, but dang it we eat right!
