No food...hunt hungry. It's motivational and sharpens the senses!

Yeah, right! Jerky, trail mix of some kind, water and if I'm out long enough maybe a sandwich. I also carry the GU gel for quick energy for that long, normally uphill, drag from the steep drainage my deer always seem to die in.

Fruit cups (they are quiet and provide food and juice). I also like to bring boiled peanuts! They taste great, provide entertainment when the hunting is slow, and I have had two different deer come up to the bottom of my stand and smell the discarded hulls. Hopefully, one day a big buck will get curious too!  

chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, chocolate drop cookies, basically any cookie there is.

Every time I try to eat in the stand I get busted by a deer.I don't do it anymore. I miss it though.

I don't hunt much out of tree stands, but if I did I'd bring:
1- A can of sterno to pop corn with.
2- A six pack of Yoo-Hoo.
3- A super sized Ex-Lax bar in case the Yoo-Hoo don't work!
4- Oh Yea... Pop Corn.

... mike ...   :D   ...  :eek:  ...

i like ham,bologna,pb&j,spam,ect sandwiches.

Jerky, pb&j, Kashi or Powerbar food bars.  You have to re-bag the food bars in a sandwhich bag as the orig wrappers are real noisy.  Apples are good, too, but don't curb hunger for long.  The small cans of V-8 are good, too.

Granola bars, Quaker oats with raisins....low fat.  Candy bars after Halloween!

Full Quiver II: those boiled peanuts must be an acquired taste because I love peanuts but I almost wrecked the car the first time I bought some from a roadside stand in Georgia! If you get that buck I MIGHT try 'em again.  

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and biscuits.  Maybe a good cold watermelon if it's hot out.  

Gummie bears, jerkey, and by far the most important Mountain Dew.  After a few hours without it I will get a blinding headache. I know I know im an addict but I haven't found the right support group yet to get me off the stuff and they don't even make a patch.  lol

food wise i like to bring jerky, trail mix and anything with caramel in it. the gummie bears sound good and they don't make any noise. for liquid i like to have plenty of H2O and a bottle of gatoraid.

that fruitcake that Starkman mentioned sounds yummy as well.

other than the above i always have some bubble gum. keeps my mouth from getting dry and if i get a case of the coughs it will shut em up. just need to remember not to pop bubbles.    

Any Kashi granola bar there is. Sorry to promote a company but these are the best I've found with the addition of the Caribou Coffee Company's Mocha Java granola bar. That one has a shot of espresso in it, a great addition to the early morning hunt when you only have time for one cup of coffee.I usually have 4 of the granola bars of different kinds, an Empire apple or two, half a gallon of water in a canteen or now a hydration bladder, and half a gallon of iced tea in my huge camo mug that has a closable drink vent that I can hang from a bow hanging hook on a tree nearby.
I sometimes take a sandwich or two of simple, easy to eat types.On cold days I take a two thermoses one with coffee one with soup. After five hours on the stand in zero temps a cup of hot soup just revives you like nothing else.

granola bars, jerky, coffee, nutty bars, oatmeal cream pies, water and grizzly wintergreen long cut!

Jerky, vi-ennys, pop tarts, or whatever I can repackage in baggies to cut down the wrapper noise. Apples are good idea though the cores might bring in a few inquisitive deer. I may try some black licorice this year for the same reason, since I like it anyway.

my pack usually has a sandwich, an apple or bananna, sunflower seeds, water.

One pocket does have a small flask and a good cigar just in case it turns out to be a great day!

Hey all,

Holy Snort,  I just picked up some Kashi granola bars at the market.  Honey almond flax.  

They are the BOMB!!

Very dense, not to sweet,  not loud and crunchy.  They just won a place in my hunting pack.

My favorite is an oatmeal cream pie, but I like granola and a PB&J too!

Usually a sandwich,some raisons,a large milky way,apple and 2 16oz cranberry or orange juice. Gets me through a day.

I've always been told to take Tuna sandwiches cause they won't make you have to poop....Something to think about!!
