Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Tasty Field Lunches

I leave a packed 'real' lunch at the truck. Hunt from pre dawn to around noon, hike back to truck eat lunch and meet up with hunting partner, hike back out and hunt til dark.

I carry with me quite non smelly snacks and lots of water. Jerky and candy bars wrapped in paper towels (foil wraping make too much noise for me) fresh fruit like an apple or orange, deer like this smell.

I don't hunt much from a stand, but when I pack food it is usually a sandwich or, more lately, a tortilla wrap. Jerky and some ganola bars or candy bars in my fanny pack or day pack are what I usually have while still hunting or glassing. Then more "real" food (like the sandwiches, chips and fruit) at the truck or ATV.

CLF bars, a bagel (doesn't get smashed real easy), some chunks of ham and cheddar cheese works for me.

Just think of the thread we could start on this subject.

this is my new favorite snack while i'm in the deer stand.

kind of like raisinettes but a little ..... nuttier.

Rich,

I just can't do the spam thing.....

I normally pack either Ham/cheese or PB&J, apple, energy bar of sorts or candy bars and bottle of water.

CLB

My wife and I were just laughing about that one last night Dave. When I am out hunting I bring jerky and a granola bar for lunch. I find that I am to pre-occupied to have much of an appetite.

Dang dude how hard were you pulling? Did it hurt? Did you have it sowed back on? Can you still pee standing up?

I did that with a zip lock bag once.

had the zippy in my coat pocket cause i used it to bring a scent wick out to my stand.

nature called &.... well, it worked just fine.

From the makers of the Butt Out? 175 pellets. Who would count them to know?

The local Army Navy sells MRE entre's and the water activated (catalytic) heaters. For day trips, I pack two. One for lunch, and one for dinner. I usually don't head back to the truck until after dark in most places I hunt.

Later in the year, I'm known to pack the Iso-pro stove and a couple cans of Campbells Chunky. Trail-coffee is a real treat in late November when the temp doesn't go over 20 degrees. There's been piles of books written on trail cooking with back-pack stoves, but Lipton Spanish Rice, with a can of "sammich chicken" rolled in tortillas never sucks

Bread and actually hunting aren't that compatible... If the mood strikes me, I make my sammiches in flour Tortillas or pita bread.

My stand is only about 15 minutes from the cabin so I come in for a bowl of chili or soup for lunch. I take a thermos of hot chocolate, bottled water and a couple of small candy bars in the morning. In the PM I take an apple and bottled water.

Pepperoni rolls is my number 2 reason to hunt in West Va. Deer population is number 1.

Any cold cut, usually turkey or ham, a thermos of hot chicken broth. and some energy ot granola bars

I take a couple of ham sandwiches, Antelope summer sausage, some of my own smoked jerky, an apple and alway's a couple jug's of water. And of course, some wipe in case I need to get rid of some lunch by afternoon...

Wasn't it Patrick McManus who talked about keeping a bologna sandwich on top of his head under his hat while hunting?

Nothin' wrong there.. PB and Mayo are plenty tasty too..

PB and bacon...

Steak and green chili burrito with a bag of Fritos and a couple of apples. Envy me.

Last few years,if Im going to be in a stand,I will take my little cat heater,and wrap all my sandwiches in tin foil.I have a 24" section of stove pipe I put the heater in,and set the sammich on top.It keeps the fingers warm,and in a short time I have a hot ham and cheese .If you leave it on long enough,it will melt the cheese.
