What is your favorite food to take in the woods if you are sitting all day. Im tired of viennas, and potted meant. Lets here it.

I usually pack a couple sandwichs

Deer jerky or hard salami.

Homemade deer jerkey..

Home made smoked jerky.  Maybe some chunks of pepperoni.  And a small bag of home made trail mix.  Maybe a big bag!

My wife makes an awesome stuffed bread with meat and cheese.  Next would be similar- Pasties from the North Country!  Otherwise- trail mix with lots of good nuts.

Pb&j

My pack usually has more snicker bars than anything.

A venison summer sausage sandwich topped with Sargento sharp cheddar cheese.  :goldtooth:

Thanks now I Got to go get something to eat.

Right on! How can one survive hunting season without peanut butter & jelly sandwiches? In combo with jerky, mmmm, food fit for a king.    :)

spam sandwiches and tomato soup.

PB&J is good. I think a peanut butter sandwich saves my life one time. I was son hungry I thought I was gonna die. It was a left over from the day before. I forgot my food but I got to lookin in my pack and it was in there. Thank you Lord for peanut butter.LOL

Power Bars, Snickers and apples.  :D

I like protein bars, mixed roasted and unsalted nuts from the bulk food isle, and dried mangoes from Costco.

I always pack a thermous of either vegetable soup or chicken noodle.  When it is cold out it really helps the long sit to have warm soup.

Pickled eggs

Fruit and smoked kippers

Pb&j sandwich, trailmix that i make, apple.
Do not forget the bottle of water. Keep hydrated in all weather.

Trail mix, granola bars, PBJ on a bagel, Tuna in an envelope and make a snack with a bagel in the woods, Thermos of coffee, bottle of water, chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies. On a real long day I will make a cup of soup and tea on an alcohol stove........I guess I eat way to much in the woods....lol! Oh yea, I got turned on to Cliff bars on an Elk hunt last year.

P&J and apple cider/juice to washing down with

During hot weather I like pb&j, chocolate banana marshmello creme, and dried fruit & nuts. When its cold I like biscuits with grilled cubed venison kept warm in my shirt pockets w/ a handwarmer. Water and coffee and electrolyte packets.

I usually buy the chewy granola bars with chocolate chips. Helen buys some really good bars at the health food store, the name brand is "kind bars" they are really good... but not cheap. I always take a bottle of water with me too.

Hard salami sandwiches, fruit chews, mini Milky Way bars, jerky.  Peanut butter/cheese crackers.

Sandwich jerky trail mix

I don't eat on stand in bow season, but for firearms opener somehow my camp has had about a 20 year tradition of a couple buckets of cold KFC and a bunch of Subway seafood and crab subs w/lots of jalapeno peppers. I have no idea how we settled on the seafood and crab, but I think it had to do with some successful sits and the myth that somehow the sub had something to do with it.

In bow season, hunting trails on the ground at very close range, there's no eating until the hunt is over. Between movement, time delay, scent and noise, with the way I hunt, it's no place for eating.

Ok, I apologize if anyone grossed out but here goes.... Snack on all kinds of things though I tend to stay away from anything too smelly OR in a noisy wrapper....

Hydration is key, which leads me to my question...on a LONG SIT, when "nature calls", how do you answer    :dunno:

Home catheter kits.  You aint a real hunter until you can cath yourself in the dark.

Laugh if ya want, but one of my favs is peanut butter, dill pickle and butter sandwich. Grew up on those as a kid quail hunting with my dad. Every time I have one it makes me think of dad who can no longer hunt. When I get home I call him to tell him how the hunt was and thank him for all the memories in the field.

Micky D's double cheese.

Lots.I do not stay on a stand that long and like to hit about ten a day chassing coyotes .Big ice chest in the back of the truck.Depends what I grab in the mornning.

a nice freshly rolled PA(Prince Albert)does the trick with maybe a little snort of JFG coffee with lots of grounds in it.

I usually don't eat on stand. Maybe a snickers bar. Sometimes I take a thermos of coffee

Prefer to hunt all day, unless it's over before that!
A meat sandwich, bag o'nuts, protein bar, 2 apples/pears - "graze" throughout the day as needed.
ALWAYS a water bottle and some sugar free gum to keep hydrated. A few pieces of "hunt candy" to munch on as well.
The bladder relief question is not fully figured out yet. If on the move, no problem, but if on stand, that's usually the time to get down and get on the move.
Never sat all day, but some sort of bottle would be required, I guess. Clearly marked as to contents!

I usually eat whatever's handy.  Probably pb&j and clif bars mostly.  I have always just peed from stand.  Urine smells like urine regardless of who/what it came out of.  Never seemed to effect anything.

I could tell you're from OR by just looking at your lunch menu.   :goldtooth:

It use to be a pb&j on all day sits but a few years ago I was eating one and I had a doe being chased by a decent buck come in around one in the afternoon while I was stuffing my face...I didn't get a shot at the deer and to add insult to injury I dropped my sandwich twenty feet below me into a puddle of water, so I was angry and hungry for the rest of the day ha ha   :mad:   ... Now I usually eat a little beef jerky or power bar....anything that I can eat with one hand and be ready to go in a moments notice ha ha

mooseman1967,

I just ate one of those for lunch yesterday! We call it a "Garrett Sandwich". My Dad grew up on them and so did I. My girls won't touch it so I guess the tradition dies with my generation.

By the way, adding butter is just gross. LOL

As for eating on stand, I never take anything into the woods to eat. Last time I tried my apple was frozen and dealing with a sandwich was just too much hassle and motion.

A couple of apples & a bottle of water & I'm good to go.
LAST year, I would've listed Snickers, M&Ms, PB&J sammich, jerky & trailmix at least for an all day stint.
Since then I've been a LOT more concsious of my diet, dropped 40 pounds & re-educated myself to the fact that I don't actually need to eat as much.

A sandwich, components vary, granola bar, couple of cookies, a few mini snickers (unwrapped), small canteen of water and a small thermos of coffee.  This is for a dark to dark sit, about 11 hours, in fairly cold northern Wisconsin November weather.

Me too.  I rarely have any left by then though.

Honestly I don't eat much in the stand since I only hunt mornings or evening, can't do the all day thing.  When I do get hungry, or especially cold, I just eat enough to get by and one of the best things I like is a candy bar...Snickers to be precise.

Peanut Butter and bacon sandwich.
Don't nock it till you try it.

PB&J on a whole wheat bagle, trail mix, apple and several bottles on water.

i dont eat much when im hunting, i hunt harder when im hungry, but do take a snickers and a soda once inawhile if i think i might be out most of the day, but when i get home lookout, il cleanup all the leftovers and then some.

Baked sweet potato in handy bio-degradable wrapper.

I used to be able to gop for days with a bag of bite sized snickers and some sausage. I have now changed my ways and try to eat healthy so I dont know what to do now, broccoli is noisy

Rarely stay out all day without a break. Haven't found a stand comfortable enough to want to stay all day. Besides, when hunting a stand, I want no movement or scent. So eat well before leaving & again on return. If I'm still hunting, I'll grab a bunch of pecans (in the shell) or occasionally an apple. Won't get full but it keeps the stomach from grumbling - and their "wrappers" are biodegradable.

Poptarts, brown sugar and cinnamon or s'mores because they don't melt.  It is my staple every morning I hunt.  I take them out of the wrapper though and put them in a ziploc.

I pee off of the stand with no issues. I have had deer walk right over and on my urine and it did not bother them at all. Some will think I am crazy, but many of my fellow hunters have tested the theory.

To be honest... and you will laugh... if I am not seeing anything I will often pee right off the stand and for some reason I almost always have deer come in, lol.

My hunting partner says it probably sounds like acorns hitting the ground....

All I know is that urine doesn't seem to bother them one bit... hence people urinating in scrapes with great success.

BBQ ribs.

  :knothead:

I don't have much else to contribute, since I'm a diabetic and have to bring food that will a) keep me alive, and b) won't kill me.

PB & Banana sandwich, an apple, snickers bar / a brownie or a energy bar of some type.

I've always heard hikes eat gorp and dried meats and cheese on the trail. Might give that a try but I'll miss my PB & B!
