RE: what to eat while hunting
 

Last year during Deer Season I stayed in my stand all day,I packed 2 bottles of water,1 (one) 20 oz. bottle of Pepsi,some granola bars and 2 apples.If your going to plan on staying all day you need to have something that will keep up your energy to be alert and your stomach won't be growling all day long! ;)

I like the idea of apple cider or even some natural cranberry/grape drink that would be better for you to have and not make you hyperlike a soda would?When I took my Daughter on the Youth Hunt I packed a whole lunch in my Camo cooler! [&:]:eek:

RE: what to eat while hunting
 

Bottled Water is a must for me. I also like to bring some granola bars, and a trail mix with me.

If I am staying on stand all day like in the colder gun season, I will bring a thermos of hot beef bouillon and a few ham & cheese sandwiches, plus some oatmeal raisin or choc. chip cookies.

I try to stay away from really loud foods like chips, or smelly foods like gum, jerky, garlic laden food, etc.

I find that if I eat too much on stand, I tend to get sleepy, but the colder the weather, the more I need to eat to keep the old body furnace going.
