Dom Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 How many eat or snack while in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I thought that's why one went into the woods in the first place ? One a more serious note I try to eat stuff that is calorie dense; about 100-120 calories an ounce most of the time. Mostly some kind of granola type bar.....Pro-bars are a favorite. I need to eat to stay warm. YMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I take Granola Bars . Sometimes an apple or a banana . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdswtr Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I sit from dark to dark alot. I pack a lunch of sorts with sandwich and fruit or something. A bottle of water and if its cold a thermos with coffee or hot chocolate. Nothing like a growling stomach at the wrong time. For a snack its usually some jerky.

Doc Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cold fried (scrambled) egg sandwiches on toast ..... about 3 of them. And a thermos of coffee and sometimes a couple small cans of V-8 (spicey kind). That's my breakfast and lunch. I know.... it sounds kind of gaggy, but I like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I limit my eating to camp.I have never been a lunch eater, so breakfast in the am out to the stand and dinner after the evening hunt. I iwll take a bottle of water with me. Iwill take my chances with a growling stomach over the scent of food in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I always bring a little something with me, even if Im just sitting a few hours. I like to bring some granola bars, a small bag of crackers or some mixed nuts or trailmix. For all day sits, Ill bring a sandwich and some extra snacks. To drink, Ill bring a bottle of water and another of apple cider usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adirondackbushwhack Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 When exercising the body needs energy and hunting up and down those mountains from dark till dark is pretty good exercise so I always bring lunch and snacks. Mostly peanut butter sandwich for lunch and fruit, trail mix or jerky for a snack. In cold weather I will also bring coffee or hot cocco. I tend to lose quite a bit of weight in the hunting season (not that I couldn't stand to) and I also get physically tired after a couple of weeks in the woods and if I didn't take a lunch I would get tired even quicker. The lunch also restores my energy and helps me stay focused and retain concentration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have star mints to keep my mouth moist. If hungry, I eat snickers bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawle76 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh snacks ? Of course ! Most of the time I pack a lunch in an effort to hunt all day. That usually would be a sandwich of some kind. As for snacks my fav. is definitely Jerky. Either beef or venison. I try to have an ample supply made to last most of the season and if I have to eat store bought it's usually jack link's. I've also been known to take all the left over halloween candy now and then lol. Granola or protein bars are good also. I'll always have water with me. On the cold days gotta have a thermos of hot coffee or hot choc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno C Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 i bring in 2 (5 hour) energy drinks, 1 or 2 sandwiches and a bottle water and i sit all day with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jusputtn Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 My own trail mix or a candy bar. If I'm out through lunch I'll bring a can of beans or stew and tea bags. I decided a few years back that I was in the woods to have fun. I also figure that if I have a hot meal in me and I'm having fun that I will be out longer, thus increasing my opportunities on deer or whatever else I happen to be hunting. Not to mention it's good to practice those fire craft skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Whatever I take, I tend to repackage it into baggies, as they are a lot quieter to handle and seal up to contain scent if I don't eat it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
