The night before hunting, I like to load up on some carbs much track athletes do for lots of energy. On the day of the hunt, might pack some more energy bars. These are great for days you foresee a lot of hiking.

I guess the older and fatter I get the more food I want to have with me, hmmmm believe I am seeing a pattern here...

Anyway, I " go light" during bowseasons as much to keep movement down as anything else. I ALWAYS have a bottle of water in my pack and typically some of those lil candy bars you can buy a sack of at the grocery store, a pack of gum and something like King Dongs, pop tarts, granola bars etc... I simply remove them from their noisy plastic/foil wrappers and place in a papertowel in a ziploc bag.

During many gunhunts (and bowhunts that occur in the rut) where I might stay from dawn till dusk, I " go loaded for bear" . Sandwiches, drinks, snacks etc. I' ve even done the " Wensel Brothers" lunch where I took a hot thermos of water that had a couple of cooked hotdogs in it, grabbed a couple pieces of bread out of a ziploc bag, slathered on some ketchup/mustard from fastfood packets and WHALLA! an instant hot meal 20' in a tree. If you think ballparks are great at the game, you should see how AWESOME they are to a hungry gut out in the middle of the woods. You just gotta eat S L O W L Y and watch the movement if you arent in a very concealed stand/blind.

Now excuse me while I head for the frige,

LOL!

I alway take a thermos full of coffee and my fav. pemmican beef jerky

I must admit I like my coffee and When one of my kids is along I too take Hot Chock. for them. But when It is very cold I take hot soup in the thermos instead of coffee. It warms me and gives energy better than coffee.

I like sandwiches and granola to snack on.

Fill up my camel-back with water, pack some jerky, and sometimes sunflower seeds.
