Brother Nature Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostkause Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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.

Cabin Fever Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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.

burmjohn Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleitten04 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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!

Isles323 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Is this from the cinnomon? If so maybe chewing big red would do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundeck Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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.
