Scent/sound control - what do you eat in the stand?
 

I like to stay in my stand all day, if at all possible. This means I need to bring lunch/snacks or my stomach's grumbling will give me away. I'm also a slave to my stomach...

I'm kind of anal about scent control. I don't eat meat the day of the hunt and make sure to brush and floss my teeth the night before. I figure themix ofrotting flesh and saliva might be a predator scent to deer. I showerbefore i go into the woods, if at all possible. I useScent Killer spray on each layer of clothing, etc.

Inthe past, I've usually brought peanut butter and banana sandwiches for lunch/snacks and Red Bull for my afternoon caffeine fix. I figured deer like nuts, so peanut butter probably wouldn't scare them off and might even make them curious. I don't think bananas make much smell and they're good for energy levels. I sometime bring trail mix, although I'm a little concerned about the crunching noises they make when I chew them.

Any thoughts/advice? What does everyone else bring to eat/drink on the stand,besides water?

This is an easy one.

Scent control? Take a bath and use scent conrol products.

Sound? Sleep with my mouth shut so I don't snore.

you eat rotten meat?:eek:

i eat watever i find that i can bring along, usually beef jerky, trail mix, granola bars, if i was going to bring sandwhiches it would be those premade uncrustable pb&j sandwhiches, they are good, lol.

i honestly don't think drinkin deer blood on stand would spook deer, as far as smell goes anyway.

Brushing your teeth and flossing is something you should do every day x2 :D;)


I take lunchables in the stand on all day hunts. And my camelbak is full of water.

If i take anything that has a wrapper, i un-wrap it the morning of and put it in a small rubber maidcontainer and stick that in my pack. No pesky metallic crunching noises that way ;). I tend to shy away from any plastic...even sandwich bags.

I take some jerky, granola bars and bagels. Water and usually a soda (bottle). I think you can eat on stand and if you watch your movement, try to stay alert, and put everything back in your pack when your done, you'll be fine. BTW, bagels IMO are a great food for long hunting days. Lots of carbs, that break down over a period of time, instead of all at once. When you eat something with lots of sugar you get a boost for about half an hour and then you can get very tired.

My father in law used to eat all kinds of junk while on stand. I let him sit the same ridge with me one morning, and I could literally hear him burping and farting from about 100 yards away. Glad that I was upwind.:D

For all day hunts, I'll bring 2 sandwiches, Gatorade/pee bottle, and Snickers bars. Don't go intothe woods without Snickers bars!;):D:D
