I know I've already put in one, but I would be remiss if I didn't add one more.
On our family wilderness backcountry deer hunting trips in the Sierras in California, we have been doing one meal for years. There is anywhere from 6 to 9 hunters in camp and usually towards the end of the trip that lasts for 10 days, I usually pit roast a deer hindquarter. I take the full quarter and make cuts in it and bury whole garlic cloves (8 to 10), coat the meat with olive oil and my special rub. Add 2 or 3 onions sliced and wrap the quarter with a couple of ham skins (from smoked & fully cooked hams we bring to camp). Wrap the quarter in foil and then wrap the meat in a wet cotton or muslin sack.
We have a pit about 3' x 3' and 3' deep lined with slate. Build a fire in it a hour or so in advance of adding the meat. When there is about 4 to 6" of coals add a 2'x2' piece of slate and put the meat on top of it. Cover with a steel plate (we have one we leave in camp) and build a fire on top. After coals are a couple of inches deep, leave it cook for 3 to 4 hours. Take it out and unwrap and its ready to eat. Make tacos, burritos add BBQ sauce or any other way you like it. Usually there is nothing left but the bones......Colorado Cowboy

Those beans look delicious! Originally Posted by nv-hunter
