Ted, if you do all those things, how will they know you are a friend of Lloyd? Just asking for a friend? Stay safe my friend.

Best pre-dawn breakfast I ever had was a few mornings at the Blue & White in Tunica, MS while there duck hunting. Way better than any Waffle House or Huddle House.

Sometimes, often, the hunting spot is a good distance from bigger towns that might have a chain restaurant. To me, mom and pop places rule. I usually have the food I'm planning on eating, but ocassionally a lazy midday chicken fried steak or burger break is not the worst thing in the world.

The title of this thread brings back some good memories. When I was in high school a group of us loved to get up early on weekends and go duck hunting. There was one place in particular just on the South side of town that was a boarding house with a dining room which opened early for breakfast. It was called "Ma Groovers" if my memory is right.

The breakfast there was south GA standard fare of the finest kind. I particularly recall that a number of the most wealthy men in the area regularly showed up every morning at 5:00 a.m. They invariably dressed in khaki shirt and britches. The men that worked in the woods wore knee length leather boots. Others wore a tie.

I grew up and went off to school and the army and when I came back home, the place was gone. The property is still vacant. I think of it every time I drive by on the way down to "a lake South of town"...Geo

I can't remember what I had over the course of four meals except that I had the most wonderful potato soup twice. Once for supper and again for breakfast the next morning. Best I'd ever had, with cheddar melted on top and bacon crumbles.

Different angle here

Get up early and stoke the stove fire. Fry up deer heart, make pancakes, fruit cocktail.
Plenty of butter and syrup.

Another would exit the surplus medical tent get metal bucket and add oats with molasses.
Have the horses come to the corral and blanketed and saddle them to warm them up.

Others would do small camp projects. Eat and clean up and go elk hunting. First one back to
camp would catch cutthroat trout for supper. BUT if the sheep herder stove smoke was laying on the
the ground, EVERY one would cut and split wood.

Good times
Mike

earlyriser,
You must have gone to Auburn after the Kopper Kettle blew up because of a gas leak, before then, that is where the students and early workers went for breakfast.

This may not be quit the same thought but I grew up duck/goose hunting with some cousins north of Baytown TX. They are Catholic so after we were dressed and loaded we would drive about 10 miles to a Catholic church that had a 3:30 -5:00 AM service on Sat and Sun for hunters. It was fast, my cousins would duck in for about 20 min. and then we were off.
