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.

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.

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.

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.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

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!

Don't knock the mangos.  (OK---lets hear the Cali fruit and nut comments)  Good trail food when hiking long distances, and a when carried in an Aloksak, a lot quieter than any candy/power/granola bar wrapper.

PB will dill chips and mayo and a slice or two of cheese, on toast......fist full of payday bars, soup thermos with ramon noodles, and a thermos of coffee....... If its cold and you dont eat you'll really feel the cold when you go to draw your bow. your body makes heat digesting food so when its only 5 degrees out every little bit helps.......
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

If it is cold out (I do not hunt from tree stands), hot tea and hot dogs cooked on a stick fire. The fire will not draw the deers attention, but they catch you while you are putting your hot dog fixings on your bun.

PBJs, candy bars and water, maybe a Clif bar if I'm hiking in far. My favorite is a venison/bacon sammich, though, when I can procure the former...
