I always carry two sandwiches, some jerky, apples, and a few candy bars. Also a bottle of water. I don' t hunt from treestands, I alternate between tracking/still-hunting and sitting in makeshift ground blinds. Being out in the cold fresh air and walking as much as I do sure makes me hungry. I take my candy bars out of the wrapper and keep them all in a small tupperware container, so i don' t have to worry about the noisy wrappers. I' ve never had deer spook (that I know of) while I was eating. On occasion I' ve had deer walk up on me while I was eating a sandwich.

Forgot to mention that I stay right out in the woods all day and never come out to eat lunch. If I didn' t take any food I' d be awfully hungry and worn out by the end of the day.
