Hunter's Pie with Ground Venison

This was perfect after a chilly rainy day of hiking! It's hard to find a gluten-free friendly backpacking meal that isn't plant based. I need real meat! Everything rehydrated well, I used the recommended amount of water, and let the meal sit for about a half hour while tending to camp chores.

It was warm, hearty and filling. Not soupy, not crunchy. Just perfect!

Last year I reached out to find new and higher quality cuisine for a two-week through hike. I was happy with each and every meal from Bushka's, but the Hunter's Pie was my favorite entree of them all. When planning a backpacking trip I pay close attention to nutrition - calorie count, protein, sodium.... this checked all the boxes for a hearty and not overly salty meal, and was absolutely delicious to boot. I'm writing this now a year after that initial purchase to return to get a few more meals for this years trips. Thank you for providing the community with these meals!

this is the best freeze dried meal I have eaten and I have eaten many. I have given them to friends that hunt and fish they feel the same way.

This is the meal I save for “big miles” days. The ultimate comfort food.

Wonderful filling meal! Tasty and full of good healthy calories. One of my favorite meals after a long day backpacking. Try it!!
