Snacks for the woods
I am planning on hunting the whole day for my first day. I know I can't make it though the day without a snack. What snacks would be good for hunting? Something that wouldn't bother the deer.

Apparently NOT M&M's. My buddy blew a shot on an 8 pointer last year because he was "eating M&M's." Needless to say I don't think he'll ever eat another one now. I'm laughing just thinking about that story.

I take granola bars, candy bars etc. along with me...and sometime peanut butter sandwiches. I also like to take along deer jerky when I have it made.
Make sure to take the granola, candy bars etc. out of their wrappers and put them in small zip locs. That way you dont make all kinds of noise opening them up.
Good luck!

I usually pick up a pre-made deli sandwich the night before and put it in a small ziplock bag, then I will pack an apple or two, a candy bar (as springgobbler mentioned, take them out of their wrappers) and a large bottle of water.

Granola bars, any type of jerky, grapes, sandwiches..if its cold and you're trykng to keep warm, eat peanuts. i read about it in field and stream. i always have a bottle or two of Gatorade in my day pack. No pop, becuase it makes you pee, the caffeine is bad for your nerves, and it makes too much noise.

RE: Snacks for the woods
Early season my trips are pretty short 2 1/2 to 3 hours but as the rut gets closer I hunt longer and longer. Each year I look forward to hunting October 31 and later.......Why? simple.....pockets full of Halloween candy. It might not be the best thing to eat but for the last 25 years my I look forward to lots of Halloween candy on the stand!
GoodLuck!
