Food for the hunt

If you plan on spending the hold day out in the woods what sort of food or snack would you take with you in the woods ?

[BKhunter]

I usually bring the following but not all at the same. Just what I feel like that day.

 

Drinks:

- Coffee

- Water

 

Food:

- Granola Bars

- Jerkey

- Sliced hard salamis and cheeses

- Apples

Keeping it simple and that works. 

Most of the time for me for snacks it's just venison jerky & apples.

Coffee, water, sammich, venison jerky, pistachios (gives me something to do), cheese.

Mandatory Tim Hortons stop on the way.

Would the smell of coffee spook the deer ?

The smell of anything foreign could spook a deer. Play the wind.

Water, apple, Kit kats, sandwich, merlot...

[Doc]

Cold fried egg sandwiches.........lots of them.

Because I only get to hunt weekends, I usually hunt dark-dark. I bring water, 2 peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, and a cliff bar or 2.

I usually hunt all day I may change stands or I may not. So here is what I bring for food. DRINKS: water and gator-aid FOOD: turkey or ham sandwich, granola bars and a snickers. I also bring a 5hr energy in case I start to fall a sleep. I hate having that dream about falling off the cliff and waking up finding myself  hanging from my safety harness 15ft off the ground. I don't eat my lunch where I hunt I move over by your stand to eat my lunch. So if you find a gator-aid bottle and a snickers wrapper by your stand you'll know I was there.

Trail mix type snacks are good. A candy bar is good for a sugar burst.

 

I really like either the self-heating soup cans or the soup cans designed to go into the microwave. Strap a hand warmer around one and toss it into your muff to keep your hands warm and also heat up the soup. By lunch time, it's nice and warm to sip.

 

Water or gatorade for drinks.

Couple bottles of water, some dried meat, some sandwiches and a few oreo cookie packages.

Thermos full of hot apple cider, PJ sandwiches and an apple . Deer love the smell of them too.There is a long story to prove it.

[PREDATE]

Am I the only one who rarely brings food hunting? When I do it's Oats & Honey crunchy granola bars and jolly rancher hard candy.

Sounds like guys are having a picnic out there lol thanks for the info some sort of sandwich water some kind of trail mix bar and fruits will do

[Hock3y24]

Trail mix bar, 5 hour energy for those all day sits, water, jerky, sandwich is the usual.

[deerpassion]

24 oz thermos of either coffee or soup, pbj's , chewy bars , or the must have cashews!!

[Two Track]

Here is my usual list:

• water
• apples
• peanut cheese crackers
• granola bar
• sandwich
• ramen cup of soup for cold days
• apple cider packets

 

I carry a pocket-sized backing stove and butane fuel canister to heat the water for soup and hot cider.

My hunting spot is usually a good 10-20 minute hike from where I would fix the soup, or may even go back to my wheels to fix it if there is a significant temperature change (drop layers, add layers for the reminder of the day).

 

I keep extra water in the car in case I did not carry enough when hit the woods.

[ants]

Chewy granola bars, apples & water. Once in a great while I pack a sangwich.

[BigGuyNY]

Whatever doesn't make any noise when I open or eat it.
