What's your muscle tonic after hauling elk quarters?

[Scoutman]

Someone posted a similar topic on another forum last week to offer a break in constant gear advice. So what's your celebratory as well as medicinal libation for a successful hunt? I'm a bourbon guy so Jim or Jack usually but like Buffalo Trace, Evan 1783 and Woodford Reserve also. What's yours?

 

[WapitiBob]

3,200 mg ibuprofen

On a trip, usually beer, Cold Smoke, PBR, or whatever is handy.

At home, Eagle Rare Bourbon or Balvenie Carribean Cask Scotch.

 

[Lawnboy]

Mountain Dew (preferably with a little slush) and a bag of chips at the truck/trailhead.

 

[Schaaf]

I keep a plastic bottle of Blanton's on the trips for at camp before bed. After a long pack out I'll take a cold Alaskan Amber Ale.

Last year I brought along Buffalo Trace bourbon as my celebratory drink, unfortunately it turned into my consolation drink.

A mix of WapitiBob's ideal libation and several savory sips from my pack carry flask of "Jameson Rarest Vintage Reserve". Unfortunately, I've had one bottle of this the past 4 years. :W:

Whatever I decide, it is usually washed down with some type of alcohol.

 

[T Bone]

ice cold Vanilla Dr Pepper

I quit drinking several years ago. I like just an ice cold water, and a good coffee as soon as I can get to a place that makes it for me. I can never make good campfire coffee...

I need to hunt with you

Water or the other favorite nectar of the south....sweet tay.

3,200 mg ibuprofen

This!

 

[kansasdad]

3,200 mg ibuprofen

I think I heard your kidneys scream again when you wrote that. Maybe that was the full days dosage?


(As in 800 mg taken every 6 hours with full hydration)

Cheap beer or good whiskey. Bloody Keystone Light for reference.

 

[jryoung]

Orally: water and beer or whisky...I'm normally pretty picky, but it's been scientifically proven the quality of cheap booze improves with an increase in miles hiked, pack weight and or elevation change.

Intravenously: a high dose of vitamin C, glutathione, magnesium, potassium and taurine.

Multiple IPAs are a near-instant cure for muscle soreness. Colorado and Washington offer inhalable celebratory herbal tonics.

 

[shootbrownelk]

A hot cup of black coffee....anytime.

I am impressed it has lasted 4 years.

This is a memorable one for me. Usually a cup of coffee is worth its weight in gold for me at the end of a day hunting.
