Default What do you eat when bowhunting?

I am just curious what everyone out there eats when they are out bow hunting? I find myself always getting hungry but never bringing any food as I am afraid the smell of the food will give me away. What works for you, or what have you heard?

Thanks

Usually I bring sunflower seeds, granola bars, beef jerky. I'm thinking about bringing an mre or two for the days that I sit in the stand all day.

BEER.....lots of it..... the grain it it acts as bait and as a cover scent....even better it also works as a image stabilizer at crunch time..... Actually usually a couple waters, a couple apples and some granola bars.

I never think to bring anything when i go hunting. i might this year when i sit all day even then it may just be a bunch of water and maybe some trail mix. i dont know if i would bring an mre though i think they kind of stink but maybe that is just me. it would be nice if i was very cold out since it would kind of warm you up.
