Default Snack in the Stand

Does anyone take a snack with them to the stand and if they do what is it? or maybe even a bottle of water?

I' ve always got water with me anytime I' m out hunting. Occasionally I will take a snack like grapes, rasins, or sometimes beef jerky. Most of the time I don' t take anything to eat.

I always carry two sandwiches, some jerky, apples, and a few candy bars. Also a bottle of water. I don' t hunt from treestands, I alternate between tracking/still-hunting and sitting in makeshift ground blinds. Being out in the cold fresh air and walking as much as I do sure makes me hungry. I take my candy bars out of the wrapper and keep them all in a small tupperware container, so i don' t have to worry about the noisy wrappers. I' ve never had deer spook (that I know of) while I was eating. On occasion I' ve had deer walk up on me while I was eating a sandwich.

Forgot to mention that I stay right out in the woods all day and never come out to eat lunch. If I didn' t take any food I' d be awfully hungry and worn out by the end of the day.

During Bow and ML season I do a lot of morning or evening hunts, on these occasion I only take a bottle of water with me. On the days I spend in the field some I will pack my lunch others I will eat in the truck for some R&R. Whatever the case I always eat the same grub: PBJ Sandies, Cereal or granola bars, fruit (apple, bananna or pears), possibly some trail mix and H20. I take a milk jug or 2 with me and always make sure I have a small bottle in my pack. I should mention I start out every hunt with 2 packages of oatmeal, Large glass of milk, bannana and apple for the road.

On days I can' t hunt that long I always carry a bottle of water with me, and a couple of granola bars just in case I get hungry. On the longer day' s I carry 2 bottles of water, couple granola bars, 1 energy bar, and some trail mix.

If I' m sitting in the stand for the last two or three hours of daylight, I just take some water or gatorade. If I am hunting in the morning for two or three hours the same thing. If I am planning on hunting all day, I take a couple of water bottles of ice tea and some tuna sandwhiches etc... -- CDH

PB-n-J sandwiches...but put peanut butter on both pieces of bread and jelly in the middle or you will end up with a baggie full of pb-n-j mush.
