Default What to eat before hunting ??

I was wondering if there any types of foods you can eat before you hunt that won' t give off so much scent. Example: If I know I' m going hunting at 3 p.m. what should I eat at lunch? Garlic cheese bread probably isn' t the answer! But do you guys have any reccomendations? I heard once you should eat an apple 30 minutes before you go out. Any truth??

Thanks!

Peanut butter sandwiches! MN DNR did a study and found deer are more attracted to peanut butter than ANY other scent!!!

Don' t eat anything that will give you gas, or make you come down out of your stand to answer natures call.

Lots of coffee, watermellon, and bran muffins by the dozen.

Since I don' t take the time to make and eat breakfast on morning hunts, I usually just fill up a spill proof mug with milk, some protein powder, a tablespoon (or two) of instant coffee and some sweetener. Spoon it all together and I have a nutritious drink to sip on the drive to my hunting spot. Takes only a minute or two to make and tastes great.

You guys aren' t filling your pockets with PB sandwiches and apples and " accidentally" dropping some on the way to the stand are you?
