mhampel82 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 So last year I kind of just sat for hunting a few hours then came home. This year I'm going to be doing most all day sits. What are some good snacks for that ? Also I don't have a big backpack to put a bunch of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 your snacks? I like peanut butter sandwichs lol quite and easy to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoobee Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 You will need at least a small day pack whatever you do, so that is where you can keep snacks and extra drinks. For snakes I like cookies, crackers, and jerkey. For drinks I like bottled water and bottled lemonade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 i take snacks that are high energy carbs or protein that'll keep my full longer. i'll open things and put them into little ziploc bags that are quieter than the packaging. i'll bring cliff bars or odwala bars (granola/trail mix type bars). also a favorite of mine is jerky. i'll drink a little water before i go out and then bring a ridged red or natural colored sports squirt bottle full of water with me. sometimes a normal water bottle but they're loud and make a crinkle sound lots of times.

bowhunter97 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have taken everything from sandwiches to homemade cookies. My fav though is granola bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
535hunter Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 nutri grain bars, pop tarts, peanut btter and crackers, trail mix. just depends on what Im feeling and how long I plain on being out. Cheap snack food like what you pack for a kids lunch is pretty much what I bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 your snacks? All day hunting just wears me out. I've only done it a handful of times and ONLY on those special chasing/seeking days. As for snacks I try to keep the food very bland to smell and only drink water.

RangerClay Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Try Cliff bars. High energy and very filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Granola bars is about all I will take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 The only time I take any snacks is when I'm planning to stay in the woods all day. When I do it's snacks that don't make noise or a mess. If they come in a noisy bag I put them in zip loc bags. Usually it's candy bars, some cookies, and a sammmmich. Extra water for those hunts too.

Leo Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's almost always HOT when I hunt. I take at least two bottles of water. A sleeve of peanuts and a pack of crackers is usually all I'll eat. Usually I sit at least 4 hours sometimes more. I've done the all day thing several times. I take more water and snacks when I do.

deer slayer Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 A bottle of water and a granola bar or two.. I tried takin a bottle of sweet tea once but tea seems to go right tru me and towards the end of the day I had to pee! So I had to dump the rest and pee in the bottle or I was gonna explode! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter42 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I like jerkey and any kind of trail mix I usually just have water to drink sometimes Gatorade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexPredator Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 your snacks? I like dried fruit and nuts. Sliced apples (they smell good for deer too and it's not bait if you eat them all) jerky and plenty of water. If I don't drink it it's nice to have for clean up after field dressing. Camelbacks are the best, quiet and you don't have to move much to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Country Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Start out with a solid breakfast (think like an athlete...you need fuel for both the walk in, the sit and the shiver...if the weather is cold)...I generally like a couple of eggs (over medium for me), whole grain toast smeared with honey, and a large bowl of oatmeal...I will sometimes throw in some hashbrowns if a Waffle House is nearby... I always carry two quarts of water into the woods (4 pounds of weight)...one in a plastic canteen in my left-side cargo pocket, the other in a camo bottle holder clipped to my waist with a carabiner...a couple of packets of crystal light (Lemonade usually)...and I keep a gallon of water in the truck for emergencies / cleaning up duty... For a quick hit of energy, I pack in a ziploc bag with a few small candy bars...milky way, twiks...but keep them sealed since sugar will attract bugs and bees... For longer use, a ziploc with a good trail mix is my preference, though I have always mixed it myself...it should have nuts (if you are not allergic to them), dried fruit (raisins, cherries, bananas, etc), a little bit of chex mix / cereal, pretzel sticks, and some chocolate / peanut butter chips... A bit of homemade jerky (easy on the salt) also helps with all day sits... I like Apples / Apple slices (as mentioned above) but they will attract bugs / bees early in the seaon...I avoid them after the first frost though... If I will be visiting the truck for lunch, then I will have a few cans or bowls of beans and franks (or some other high protein / fiber) available... The key is to blend in some carbs with a lot of easy to digest proteins and a bit of fat (especially in colder weather) with as many vitamins/minerals as you can conveniently get...all while remaining as scent free as possible...or when not possible, as naturally smelling as possible... When you do get out of the woods, you need to eat a solid meal to replace the calories and nutrients you lost...though if I am on a long hunt (more than a weekend), I will avoid meat...probably just following an old wives tale though...

Outlander500 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 BAss Pro has a nice day pack for $20, I picked one up a few years ago and its great with lots of room. It also has the attachment loops to add accessories to it. Snacks I eat gronala bars and drink water or gatorade. Sometimes an apple and sandwich, just depends on how long Im out there.
