    I drink water. Don't usually eat even on all day sits. If I do it will be something like a sandwich.

    I typically only take water with me and prefer to get down for a lunch break. On the occasion that I do an all day sit I like natural things like apples or nuts.

    water, apple, small bag of nuts and raisins and maybe a sandwich. normally hunt most the day and don't want to have to cut hunting short to grab lunch.

    I bring like 10 apples with me and only take like a bite from each than just toss it in the woods and I always seem to have deer by me so I don't think they mind I eat in the stand.

    I never eat in the stand for fear of deer seeing my mouth move.

    I'll anything.... Cold pizza, I bring a Stanley thermos full of coffee. I've brought subway sandwiches with me before too. Just move slow when eating. I'm not worried about the smell, if they smell your food, they smell you too, so even if you weren't eating you'd be busted.

    Eat drink and be merry...

    Yea if your that sloppy hunting it may pay to wait till the next day when your better able to concentrate and put in the proper effort.

    On evening sits I'll bring a water and maybe an apple. On all day sits I like to bring a bunch of small snacks I find it helps to pass the time, especially in the midday hours!

    I always take water for all day sits.

    I only take food (always peanut butter sandwich) for all day sits when it is cold out.

    I generally do not take anything with me any other hunts unless it is real hot, I take water.

    My go to is a bottle of water and if I think I'm going to be out for a while I'll pack a sandwich (peanut butter on white bread). Always afraid to consume too much because what goes in has to come out at some point.
