coffee makes me gag.

I wake up get every thing ready then we stop at the general store and pick up donuts. The donuts give us good luck, every time I eat donuts I see a ton of deer.

I eat after I get out. I have bad IBS and if I eat before, I won't be in the stand long that morning!!

I usually eat beef jerky (after getting on stand) and maybe pack in a sugar free/low carb energy drink for breakfast. I love a good breakfast but I don't like taking a chance of knocking a turd loose. I usually pack in snacks to munch on like trail mix, granola bars, etc.

Mountain Dew and a poptart is about all I can handle that early in the morning. Not healthy but it wakes me up.

Like Jeff said, I tear it up when I get back though.

sausage, egg and cheese muffin and mountain dew

A couple cups of coffee and a good dump.... well I'm ready to go. I'll eat sometime later in the day. If it's cold or snow on the ground I'll force myself to quick fry up a couple eggs or scramble a couple with some grits. Something for energy. Then I'll take the dump.[&:] If I have some left over mashed potatoes or any veggie, like peas etc, I'll throw those down too just for the carbs and the like.

Don't really have ritual. A lot of times I'm in the tree and have had nothing more than a Nutrigrain Bar and a Diet Dew or Vault Zero (even better than the "Dew" for the caffeine requirements my body has), and some mornings it's a bowl of cereal.

Ramen noodles, fast, easy, full of carbs so I retain body heat and have lots of energy.

Giant beef and green chili burrito and large choclate milk from 7 eleven. The heartburn will keep you awake no matter what.

I hate to break it to you, but all they have is a lot of sodium and very little nutritional value. All they do is fill space and hurt your heart. [&:]

That's not a bad idea...might be a little tough to eat soup at that time of morning though. I might have to give that a try.

one cup of coffee and a dip of snuff will get me by

We used to get out to my uncles early during shotgun season (4:30) and my aunt would usually fry us up some backstraps or sausage to make egg sandwiches out of them. Those along with a couple big glasses of milk...that hit the spot.

Then we come back in, snack a little, and put down as much chili as humanly possible.

I can't eat in the morning. It upsets my stomach. I might have an energy drink depending on how much sleep I got.

I always have a cup of coffee on the drive out to my hunting location. I try to get something in my stomach like a a couple pieces of toast or a small bowl of cereal or oatmeal.

racewayking 08-19-2008 05:00 PM

If I eat it is oatmeal. I also take apples in my pack and nutty bars to snack on.

No breakfast, no coffee. I'd like to stay on stand more than 45 minutes.;)

I'm one of those people that MUST eat as soon as I get up... especially since I'm an ADHD baby and am always cracked out on Adderall (but you never fall asleep at the wheel or on the stand in the morning).

My favorite is a Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich on toast. That or a tuna salad sandwich on a toasted bagel with melted cheese. Always have either milk or Sun Drop... MT. dew if Sundrop is scarce.

usually a pop tart and some juice . I would like to drink coffee but it works to much like a laxitive on me so i skip it when hunt

As soon as I crank the truck, I put in a dip of snuff for the hour long ride from Auburn back home. When I roll into town I stop at Jack's and get a bacon egg n cheese and a large coke. After I eat that, another dip goes in for the20 minute ride to the land. So basically, it's a bacon egg n cheese, coke, and2 dips. I love coffee, and I used to drink a cupevery morningbefore it started makin my bowels go crazy. I usually try and take a gigantic dump the night before a hunt, makes it a little easier on me come 9:00 in the stand the next morning.

Coffee and Copenhagen works for me until I get down off the stand. I don't like my stomach making racket with I'm hunting. I learned that from my dad who was an Olympic shooter. He didn't eat before a shoot due to the muscles in your stomach contracting andprocessingthe food, causing too much movement (not pun intended).:D

I've been doing it since I started bow hunting bout 1965.

sit back and listen to your stomach 30 minutes after you have eaten, It may be just my quirk, but it's worked for me all this time.

I never eat before a morning hunt. I'll woof down some major groceries after though.

Same as virtually every morning Brown sugar Oatmeal and a large decaf.
