unless i'm seeing deer, i always get down mid day and walk back to my truck where i keep an ice chest with sandwiches. i never take food with me. i have sat all day before because the deer were moving all day but that is rare.

I eat quality foods, like fruit, and my go to food source are Cliff Bars! They are a must!

My favorite thing to bring is a Hershey milk chocolate candy bar when its real cold outside. Other than that, simple chocolate chip granola bars usually hold me over pretty well.

I'm a bit if a control freak when it comes to scents. I try to bring things that have little odor. Bologna sandwich with lettuce and Mayo (no tomoato so it doesn't get soggy and no mustard cuase the smell is too strong). Bags of pretzels (remove from original bag and put in sandwich bags as they don't make as much noise when opening and putting into your pack). I'll take a banana or a piece of fruit with little smell. I do take a few energy drinks but that's because I usually go 8 to 12 hours a day without coming out of the tree. Also, Animal Crackers are good to stave of the hunger pains. I hear some folks will eat apples if there are apples trees in the area. I also hear chocolate covered coffee beans can give you a nice kick when that mid afternoon lull kicks in.

As you can tell most of the guys take foods like apples, jerky, water, granola, any kind of high fiber, high energy(carbs) foods. High fiber will make you feel fuller longer so you don't have to pack a bunch of food with you.

First off let me say this, it takesquite a while for the average person to digest food.
So if your gonna fast at all, don't eat the night before you hunt.Eat your dinner, at a reasonable time avoid eating anything past 8pm the night before you hunt.
if you decide to do a midnite snack more than likely, you just screwed yourself.
Chances are likely, if you eat at a reasonable time in the morn, or in the mid morn , it ain't coming out till night time.
So to avoid fasting, just eat at smart times.
With me I carry,jerky,a protien bars, spitz, gatorade.
In my vehicle a cooler full of gatorade, lots & lots of waterandbeer.Crap load of chocolate bars,spitz,and protien bars, fruit (apples oranges bananas) and a couple of sandwhiches.
