Backcountry Birds, Fish, and Flora

[WapitiTalk1]

Granola bars, trail mix, oatmeal, tuna packets or PB and honey on MRE bread, mountain house meals, etc., serve their intended purpose but some fresh meat cooked in the backcountry sure tastes good on those XX day backcountry hunts until you're fortunate enough to have some elk or deer loins. What have you cats harvested on your backcountry adventures and cooked up for dinner? Critters, birds, flora (mushrooms, wild asparagus, wild onions) are all fair game here. How did you cook the grouse, fish, etc., that you brought back to camp (recipes please)? If somebody sais they cooked up a camp robber, I'm gonna gag

Have cooked both blue grouse and trout.

Blue grouse we just roasted over hot coals on a stick. Nothing fancy.

Trout, gut them an place in aluminum foil. Put butter, onion and garlic in the cavity. Close foil and cook on hot coals for about 5 min. The skin peels off and you eat the meat on the upside. Grab the head and lift, the entire skeleton lifts up and bones are gone to eat the underside. I cook them on the grill at home this was as well.

my buddy and I talked about taking a goofy mule tail.... I laugh because it would have been without a tag. I laugh again because we had a young buck as our camp host for several days last year! he was just outside our tent after a camp fire while my old diesel dually had been running for several hours while drying out our boots. man those guys are super curious!

lmao... word for word same here except add pepper. Try wrapping the grouse on the stick in foil too to keep it from drying out. Toward the end add some butter and seasonings in there too.

[quote][/quote] I always cooked my trout in camp wrapped in tin foil like you guys, and you know it is done when the eye balls turn white.
