I guess the older and fatter I get the more food I want to have with me, hmmmm believe I am seeing a pattern here...

Anyway, I " go light" during bowseasons as much to keep movement down as anything else. I ALWAYS have a bottle of water in my pack and typically some of those lil candy bars you can buy a sack of at the grocery store, a pack of gum and something like King Dongs, pop tarts, granola bars etc... I simply remove them from their noisy plastic/foil wrappers and place in a papertowel in a ziploc bag.

During many gunhunts (and bowhunts that occur in the rut) where I might stay from dawn till dusk, I " go loaded for bear" . Sandwiches, drinks, snacks etc. I' ve even done the " Wensel Brothers" lunch where I took a hot thermos of water that had a couple of cooked hotdogs in it, grabbed a couple pieces of bread out of a ziploc bag, slathered on some ketchup/mustard from fastfood packets and WHALLA! an instant hot meal 20' in a tree. If you think ballparks are great at the game, you should see how AWESOME they are to a hungry gut out in the middle of the woods. You just gotta eat S L O W L Y and watch the movement if you arent in a very concealed stand/blind.

Now excuse me while I head for the frige,
