what do you guys make for meals at the deer shack? We usually do pork chops or steaks one night, Swedish meatballs another night, and maybe some Chili or stew on the last night. All served with sides of salad & potato or other veggies. What are some things that you all make? Like our meals typically but always nice to get some ideas to feed a hungry crowd.
Ours are all crockpot meals; Roast spuds carrots, Wild rice soup, Chili. Set it and forget it. Ohh and as usual we always order up a few pasties from Michigan. You can’t deer hunt without an original pasty! Don’t you dare show up to deer camp without one!!
Lots of chili for sure, multiple recipes made with different meats; we roast a big turkey one night; usually a casserole or two; plenty of venison sausage, cheese and crackers for snacks; steaks on the grill one night.
Oh, and copious quantities of Busch Light.
Our newest tradition is Poutine ! 
BBQ pork chops the first night, usually with stuffing and green beans. Then either soup or chili the rest of the nights, with crackers and cheese. And of course brownies or cookies for desserts! For lunches we usually make up hot ham and cheese sandwiches and that always hits the spot.

that sounds good! you just fry them on a pan or use a panini press?
A panini press sounds too fancy for our crusty old shack. We don’t have running water and our electricity is available only when someone wants to venture out and fire up the generator. So we just cook ‘em up in a pan on the old gas stove, and up there we don’t skimp on the butter.

Yup we are the same. No running water or electricity except for the generator. Nothing wrong with pan fried. Even better, cook them over the fire

We have a long tradition of potato dumplings. We fry them up with butter and diced ham. Simple
Two things come to mind:
Mojakka and boiled venison heart.
I started deer hunting around 1980 and I don’t remember a single season without Mojakka. Popular among those of us with Finnish heritage. We have the Liha Mojakka variety that is fundamentally a venison or beef vegetable soup. It would generally have cabbage or rutabaga as well.
