It always depends where you hunt,but there is a high mountain lake where I hunt in the early fall. I take a very light telescopic fishing pole.A few ounces. During the heat of the day when the deer are bedded, I slip down and catch a mess of trout. Cook them in a piece of tin foil, along with a pot of noodles.Fresh meat every day for about 4 to 6 days. I eat my big meal about 2:00 in the afternoon, and then glass and hunt until dark. One good hot nutritious meal a day will keep you hunting harder, and days longer, than if you are eating poorly. But if there is no lake or creek nearby, its not an option. Might work for you, might not.
