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
Kellen

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.....;):D 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.

Not normally. I carry a couple waters... the real small ones. If it's an all day hunt, which is rare, I'll carry a couple Reese Cups, a couple power bars, a couple Granolla bars and maybe a couple apples. And yes, I usually don't eat it all. About a week ago I was cleaning and deordorizing my fanny pack. There were still candy bars in there from last fall. NO... I didn't eat them.

Sunflower seeds and Sun Drop. The very essence of life.

If its an all day hunt and especially if it is cold, I bring plenty of food. Better to overkill the food than be miserable and hungry. Hunting is not a war of attrition...be comfortable when you hunt.

Hard candy to get my mind off the cancer sticks. Beef jerkey, peanuts, and can of vienna sausages and beenie weenies. H2o as well.
