NCSU Wild Food Supper 2020

[lasttombstone]

Tickets at the door. There has been good crowds the last couple of years. Some of us will probably be there when the doors open and try to grab a couple of long tables for our group. I think some of the folks think we are a bunch of old bullies but nobody has tried to fight yet. If you actually think you will be able to make it, I'll make a sign to put on a chair just for you.

 

[Eric Revo]

Hold a seat for the wife and me Lee. I'll see if I can get her to bring a pumpkin cake. Some folks on here seem to like it.

 

[woodmoose]

r pretty much just show up and there's likely a seat available?

that's what I'm hoping!!

 

[dobber]

Well the wife is just messing with the whole boondoggle process, she suggested flying from Detroit to NC, hardly worth being called a boondoggle with that much thought put into it.
Its still in the works though, she hasn't had buyers remorse for saying yes yet

that only works if it's "planes, trains, and automobiles"!!

so plane from Detroit to DC
Train from DC to Raleigh
Rental to event
then return

can turn an easy one day commute each way into a 2 (maybe 3 if lucky) day each way event!!

 

[dobber]

i could do bus to Detroit airport to kick it off, hmmm

You're a brave man, and she must be an understanding woman.

 

[dobber]

she must be an understanding woman.

Trick is finding one with low expectations

Train from DC to Raleigh

The train from DC to Raleigh is usually fine, but the train going north to DC is ALWAYS late. Be prepared for a possible 1.5 to 2 hour wait at the train station on the way back. Bring snacks, books, etc, whatever would help y'all pass the time.

 

[Part-time hunter]

So question about this, who from here is involved with tickets? or pretty much just show up and there's likely a seat available?

You pay at the door and you want to get there early to get a seat and to try some of the samples they have students passing out . And if you are so inclined they have some brewed alcoholic beverages.

 

[Part-time hunter]

They are running from your prowess. They don't want to be there to see you win first prize for you entry. Someone remind me........ don't they have a dessert winner too?

I believe you are correct sir.

 

[woodmoose]

so since I have never been, and the guidance I got from the POC was vague, I have a question (lousy sentence construct I know)

how many people does my dish need to serve? How does it all work on the food side?

The instructions I got was "bring your dish but don't expect to have access to a receptacle for plugging in a crock pot or warmer,,,limited receptacles"

 

[lasttombstone]

I can't really tell you John. As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone in our group has ever carried a dish. What I've seen are just a regular crockpot thingy or a good sized tray. I believe the majority of the food is done by the club members on grills outside at the event from the meats that are donated. Probably, some of them pick up meat and take it home to cook something special but I don't know. I'm pretty sure there is an stove inside that something could be warmed on. Also I would guess, if an individual brings something it would not be put on the line till the judges had their chance at it.

After all my wild ramblings, plus I don't know who you have already contacted, you might send an email to moorman@ncsu.edu) and let him know you are with our group and the first time you have attended and ask his advise. He is the staff adviser for the club.

 

[woodmoose]

thanks @lasttombstone what you provided helps - I communicated with Alea Hunsucker, Leopold Wildlife Club President

 

[NCST8GUY]

Here are some pic's of dishes from previous events



And YES!!! It gets crowded! I strongly advise to being there before the doors open to sit together.







Rats, I can only attach 4 per post

 

[NCST8GUY]

I would liken the dish sizes similar to ones we bring to Conman's get together.



There is also a raffle afterwards that offers art work, physical work, etc that I have brought extra $ for and enjoyed what I got.

 

[woodmoose]

thanks @NCST8GUY

Can you at least send the pie? I mean come-on now..you've built it up and my mouth is watering for pie.

 

[KrisB]

I ordered some stuff for trapping beaver today, so the odds just went up that beaver stew and homemade bread will be featured.

But I know that is no consolation for missing out on Mrs. Woodmoose's homemade blackberry/blueberry pie! What an emotional rollercoaster!

This. Dish sizes just think about a standard potluck. If you enter it into the competition the judges get their samples first, then it’s put on the line. Sorry you can’t make it Woodmoose. Hope your wife’s surgery goes well.

I am sorry to hear about the knee replacement surgery. I did hear somewhere that a treadmill can help out with the future recovery and also makes a wonderful Valentines gift.......

thanks (nice try) but she already has one she doesn’t use

Running this up the flagpole one more time to try and get a halfway accurate count on how many seats to try and hold for the dinner this Friday. I haven't heard from anyone new chiming in so it looks to be around 15 total attending from here. Since some said there were some "maybe's" on their list, how about confirming if you are coming with a total seats needed. Sure would be good if just a few of all the members in the Raleigh area would support this. There is always talk about the future of hunting and how important young people are. These are some of the most important young people to the process.

My wife and I will be there along with Mack's buddy Dwayne and I have it on good information that there will be international guests as well.

[lasttombstone]

Yeah I know. I'm so sorry your are going to miss it. I'm sure someone will eat something in your honor.
