RE: Lunch
I have a camelback backpack. I fill it full of water so that's a good 80oz. I usually bring a Snickers power bar and 2 PB&J sandwiches. It doesn't take up a lot of room and I'm good for all day. I haven't seen any deer spooked by the smell of PB&J. I actually ate a sandwhich while watching a doe walk by my stand.

RE: Lunch
This will actually be my first deer season in a stand all day. During turkey season this spring, I brought some jerky, trail mix and waterwith me and I sat there from morning until night. I did get up and stretch in the blind and I suspect I would stand up on my stand occasionally just to keep the blood pumping. I even had a few does walk up to my blind those days. I am hoping that it will be the same during deer season.

RE: Lunch
Sometimes I sit on the stand all day, sometimes I take a break around mid-day, depending on the weather. The deer where I hunt in Virginia don’t move much during the day except when it’s fairly cold. If I stay in all day, I usually take a snack (trail mix and/or an apple) and a sandwich, generally peanut butter and banana or PBJ, if I don’t have any good bananas. I think the PB & banana is very energizing late in the day. Also, I figure that deer would not spook at the smell of peanuts or bananas and might actually find the smell of peanuts or apples interesting.
