If I'm hunting a morning or a afternoon hunt only I'll take a powerade and a clif bar or to. If I'm hunting in the morning I usually take a thermos of coffee but if I'm hunting all day I take everything plus the kitchen sink! Usually 2 sandwiches 2 powerade a some skittle/peppermints some cliff bars thermos of coffee and my weird obsession with gummy worms! I'll take a full bag! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
On all day sits I generally bring a sandwich or 2 and some trail mix or fun sized snickers. Twice now I have shot a deer with a snickers hanging out of my mouth. Also a bottle of water and always a diet mountain dew regardless if it's an all day or not. First I like to drink it. 2nd, ANY diet pop is great for washing your hands off with after gutting a deer (works better than water when it's cold out).
I'll bring some water, gatorade and a coke in my bag. I'll have a sandwich and some other kind of snack in there too. This season I may be doing a mid-afternoon hunt. A couple of deer are showing up between 1pm-2:30pm. But we all know once hunting season starts, they all disappear anyways... lol
I've never brought anything to eat or drink with me to the stand. If I bring kids with that get bored or antsy, I'll bring food so they have something to fiddle with. I usually stop drinking around midday if I'm going to hunt so I can avoid the chaos of peeing in a stand.
I take water and a snack. Usually a granola bar. Not because I think they are healthy but because they are easy to eat and provide energy. Those that say they don't eat even on all day sits are doing their bodies an injustice.
I always have a bootle of sweet tea and water, I also always take a couple of packs of peanut butter and crackers with me. For all day sits i pack a sandwich and a couple extra bottles of water
I've said it before, most of us try to eliminate/minimize (undesirable) scents, so when it comes to food in the stand, I try to keep this in mind. PB and honey/fruit spread sandwich, water, granola/dried fruit, apple.
I will generally stick a granola bar or something similar in my pocket in case I get the munchies and I generally have something to eat and drink in my truck. I don't very often sit in a stand more than three or four hours and I'm usually fed up and have a good drink before I get to the stand so I tend to make it through most sits without needing much else. If I know I'm going to be sitting for extended amounts of time, I'll take a bag with me and have water, soda, trail mix, crackers and an apple and maybe a thermos of coffee or soup but that is a rare occurrence.
Since I always have my cell phone I just order a Pizza and have it delivered. "...and your address you would like your pizza delivered?".... Ummm... Big oak tree with crooked branch next to other oak tree....
My very first deer (gun) was shot with a milky way stuffed in my mouth. If my dad see's me put a milky way in my bag he always looks at me go's "yup, jasons going to shoot something tonight" LOL
That's awesome. Going to take some snickers with me this fall Normally I take water, granola bar, apple or 2. For the all day sits, I set rough times when I want to snack. That gives you something to look forward to on those long, uneventful sits. I remember when I was a kid, we would take beef jerky, slim jims, swiss cake rolls, peanut butter sammiches, and cocoa. Dad and I never saw a deer but with us eating all that, i can see why lol. Looking back though, it wasn't about seeing deer, it was about spending the time together.
I'll bring a bottle of water and only take a sip or two if I'm parched. I usually have it on the way back to my truck. Never eat while i'm hunting.
water and a couple of breakfast or energy bars... take em out of the wrappers and put in a ziplock bag in camp... no garbage in the woods, and make a lot less noise getting em out to eat..
Usually will have a bottle of Mt. Dew, sometimes a bottle of water. I don't drink a lot on stand, but I tend to get a dry scratchy throat that the Mt. Dew really helps. As far as snacks, usually some jerky.
I try for the smell good stuff that might get a deer nosing closer just in case they are down wind. I also will fill up an empty Gatorade bottle with water and not use the thin water bottles, too much noise. I can also reuse the gatorade bottle later as long as i don't for get whats in it.
Water, cliff bars or power bars (the soft granola kind - not the chewy taffy kind), and a couple of peanut butter jelly sandwiches if its an all day sit. Now if my wife is going hunting with me, the menu expands to include a thermos of hot chocolate and a thermos of hot soup. She likes to be comfy lol. I will never forget watching her shoot a buck out of a sleeping bag with half a ham sandwich in her hand.
Oatmeal cookies and water for me. I've shot both a turkey and deer with a oatmeal cookie hanging out of my mouth! A half eaten cookie seems to bring them out of the woodwork!
