It just occurred to me that most threads on hunting never include an important item. Snacks. Here in Illinois hunting is usually ground blind or tree stand. Lots of time to contemplate life's deeper mysteries and eat snacks. So here are some of mine. What do y'all take for hunting snacks?
Apples
Chewy granola bars
And the timeless classic: frosted cherry pop tarts.

Canned Vienna Sausage and crackers.

When I was 16 I would always find a tree to climb and sit in a fork or limb about 6-10’ off the ground. Had a banana and a 6oz coke in my coat pocket. Ate the banana and some how got the cap off the bottle, drank the coke and dropped peeling and bottle to ground. Felt like something was looking at me, you know you just get that feeling sometimes. Sure nuff a spike buck was starring at me about 20 yards through thick brush, shot him with 12 ga. #1 buck shot. Kinda wondered what he was thinking, standing there staring, what is that kid doing in that tree eating a banana and drinking a coke.

May be partially superstition - but we have always taken something from the land as a snack. Whether it's antelope salami or grouse jerky or elk snack sticks. Seems that out hunts always go better when fueled by the bounty of a previous harvest.
And we always make sure that the first successful hunter contributes a portion of his / her game to the group's meal that day. Nothing beats a fresh kabob from the tenderloin at mid-day with hunting companions.

It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.
Black pepper beef jerky about a 1/2 handfull 2 mini pepsi's 4 mini snickers "bites plus Cracker Barrel peppermint stick for the finish. That'l get me from 2:30 PM til too dark to shot. Haven't got tired of it yet.

He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

I gave up on chewing tobacco several years ago & the only time I miss it is while driving or hunting. So after my 1-2 apples out comes the hard candy. Apples seem to suppress the appetite & the candy entertains the taste buds between critters. Just a word of advice, Don't take any candy that has gotten warm, it sticks to the wrapper, gets on your fingers, then every where else including your firearm.
Bottled water cheese crackers peanuts maybe an apple
I always have one of these with me, it's a little can of chicken salad with a spoon & a few crackers inside, very tasty. You can also get them in Tuna fish but I don't care for Tuna. I also carry a little elk or venison jerky & a few of the bit size snickers bars. That will last me until I get back to the jeep.

this year bear sausage, water, apples and a few granola bars

The last few years I have hunted from a ground blind and am only there from 2-6. I take a water bottle but don't need snacks. When Elk hunting I took a lunch of granola/trail mix, water, apple and sardines. I expected to be out from first light or before to dark thirty.
