By shooting the elk, Ennis xtinguishes Jack's appetite for sheep.

"A" is awry

Ennis's meal plans went awry when the mules took off, scattering a week's worth of food everywhere.

"B" is Bighorns

127   EXT: MOUNTAINS: DAY: MONTAGE: 1981:      127

WE SEE ENNIS and JACK, winding through some grand scenery, always high up:
A.   ENNIS and JACK riding their horses up in the Bighorns. A bright, beautiful crisp autumn day.
B.   ENNIS and JACK swim in a clear, mirror-like mountain pool.
C.   ENNIS and JACK dismounted, standing atop Cloud peak, the highest point in the Bighorns.

Jack and Ennis also visited the Bighorns in 1969, and ate corn, steaks and maybe beans.

Even Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a consistent spelling for the Bighorns - Big Horns.
Annie Proulx used Big Horns
The screenplays use both Bighorns and Big Horns.

"C" is cat-shaped

There is an odd cat-shaped towel- and utensil-holder in Alma's Thanksgiving kitchen.  The cat fight was to follow.

I've been waiting to use that one!

Cooking was one of the duties of the camp tender up on Brokeback.

"E" is edible

Jack and Ennis always seemed to be able to find enough edible grub to satisfy them.

"F" is flipped

Jack flipped over Ennis the first moment he saw him -- a condition that stayed with him the remainder of his life.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"H" is hamper

The potentially gassy consequences aren't serious enough to hamper Ennis's love of beans.
