What Do You Snack On?

[Brother Nature]

So when I am up in the tree, I like to have some food available to eat. Nothing will get me out of the woods faster than a growling stomach!!!

So, was wondering what people take to snack on. I always pack a hearty sammich, some water, and some leftover halloween candy...

For snacking, I like to take up some peanuts of cajun trailmix or some deer jerky...

Just interested in what other people snack on...

[Pygmy]

I generally  rely on candy bars, granola bars ( or trail mix bars) and water....

I buy packs of the small Halloween type Snickers, Baby Ruths, Payday, Almond Joy and Reese Cups...

Sometimes I take jerky also...

Since PA season opens after NY season, sometimes I have some leftover deer heart...If I get lucky in NY, the first day of PA season I'll often make myself a leftover deer heart sandwich, with mayo and coarse black pepper... Just seems like the perfect sandwich to eat on deer stand...

I usually much on trail mix or sunflower seeds if nothing else the shells from the seeds make the squirrels come out and as long as there occupied with the shells their not half as annoying. water and energy drinks are a must for me though I am a true caffeen junkie.

Whatever I decide to take, I tend to repackage into ziplock freezer bags. Helps cut down on odor, noise when opening, and then I don't have a bunch of noisey loose wrappers in my pouch or backpack to deal with.

I'm a granola bar guy. They are simple.  The best thing though is to take a bunch of the granola bars out of the annoying loud wrapper and put them in a zip lock

[Bleitten04]

A few sandwiches and sunflower seeds!!!!

[burmjohn]

Where do you spit the shells though?

sammiches...and more sammiches....and some hard candy for the dray throat. coughing sucks!! and a 1/2 gallon of water in my hydration bladder (no sloshing sound while walking)

Amen to that.

I generally take 2 sandwiches, 3 candy bars, chips, granola bar, Mtn. Dew and water.

[Bleitten04]

I usually just spit the shells on the ground.  Don't really know if thats good or bad?  Ive never had a deer come by when I was chewing seeds!!!

[burmjohn]

Maybe thats why

Ok I'm going to let you guys in on the best kept hunting secret.Atomic Fire Balls.

My daughter played BB for her high school, I noticed one of the other Dads always had Fire Balls to share. He said he bought them for deer season,they last 20 minutes keep your mind occupied and so forth.

So this year i bought a bag, and I saw more bucks then in 30 years of hunting !! Not only that but no matter what time I put one in my mouth a buck would show up before it was gone.

I shot my 8pt. with one still in my mouth !

Just be sure in bow to put it on the opposite side of your mouth , so not to mess up your anchor point.......... :

Works better then any cough drop  too!

OK...I will try it....any reason to eat candy is a good one in my book

[Isles323]

Is this from the cinnomon? If so maybe chewing big red would do the same.

[WNYBuckHunter]

For a partial day sit, I just take a little juice, cider or water and a little something to snack on like granola bars, pretzels or maybe some jerky. For all day sits, Ill take more to drink a sammy and extra munchies.

[gundeck]

I seldom get to hunt a whole day, so usually just some water and a candy bar.  If I go out for longer, a sandwich, granola or candy bar, and a diet Dew.

I always try to eat something before I head out, though, so no grumbling stomach to deal with.

[Nomad]

Well I'm kidding, sort of...... I do love the Fire Balls though ! I did see a ton of bucks as well as kill one with a Fire Ball in my mouth. Beats a pair of 'lucky " socks I guess.

Perhaps they should make them in a camo wrapper,sell them in hunting stores for 5x's as much.

market as a breath cover scent!!

I hope I don't gross anybody out, but I have kind of grown partial to cold fried egg sandwiches about 8:00 or 9:00 on opening morning (it's an aquired taste .... lol). I'll bet there aren't too many people that could really get into that, but I usually have a few of them to munch on. Also, a thermos of coffee gets a pretty good work-out.

Actually., I think I would eat that!!!

[Pygmy]

Doc... Sounds good to ME..!!...

However, a lot of people may not know how good a cold fried egg sandwich can taste....

I might " improve " mine with a couple slices of very thin shaved ham...

DAMN...!!  I'm getting HUNGRY...!!...  ....
