What, no hardtack?
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Apples, granola bars, sardines & saltines, and beef or elk jerky are my normal snacks on a hunt.
You'll find two customary snacks in my pack during deer season - a bag of a simple trail mix consisting of peanuts (unsalted don't want any rusty fingerprints on my rifles), raisins and chocolate chips and some brownies. Not just any brownies but Benoit brownies - Larry Benoit's wife's extra rich recipe from his 1975 book. Been making these for more than 35 yrs and the family loves them too. About 20 years ago I went with a friend to Larry's house in VT so the friend could buy one of his knives. While the friend was with Larry I chatted with Iris at the kitchen table and told her I had been making her brownies for 15 yrs. She was quite amused by that.
I have a Johnson Wool backpack and one night I left a bag of trail mix in the back outside compartment. In the morning there was a hole chewed in it which ticked me off. When I went to put on my Muck boots that were across the room there was a pile of peanuts in one...and the mouse. That was the last of his peanut stealing days!
I have taken peanut butter sandwiches before, but lately, I've only been taking coffee.
Finally castjngfool mentioned PBJ, and don't forget fried egg sandwich, esp on a bagel. Plus all the above!
Never trade luck for skill.
Nothing so I sit all day without having a bowl movement.

In my pack goes home made jerky. If it don't have any venison left over, I buy a london broil and jerk that up. Home mixed trail mix; 1 can cashews, 1 bag M&M's, dried cherries, rasins. Hard candies, I like spearmint Life savors, they last for years floating around in the pack. Oatmeal cookies. Fastlady makes me a batch for hunting using 50% more oatmeal than the recipe calls for. This makes them a bit more dry and crumbly so not as fatty, with walnuts and rasins. Canteen of water. I leave the thermos of coffee or a beer in the truck for when I get back out of the woods.
Don't forget to save a 1/4 roll of tp in a zip lock bag, just in case......

Vienna Sausage & Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam!
Historically, I have killed a whitetail doe with my bow on opening day for jerky for the rest of the hunting season. That task has passed to one of my sons the past few years. My 14 year old got a calf elk in August on a damage hunt so we are well stocked on jerky and some homemade summer sausage (made with in from that. The calf was about the size of a mule deer doe and was in his first year, grazing the best alfalfa and oats - gotta say, I haven't had better jerky in my life.

Big Al and I are cut from the same cloth, every significant adventure I've had in the last 60 years has been fueled by PB&J.Originally Posted by BigAlofPa.

Vienna sausage, smoked oysters and clams, kipper snacks, and the ever present salted in the shell peanuts to make a mess in the pickup coming and going to hunting areas.
I don't take anything, I hunt better when I'm hungry.
Only a fool would attempt it, and God help me I am that fool.
Left over Halloween candy. I always make sure I have some left over.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

For me, a PBJ and a bottle of water. Maybe some granola.

I always liked summer sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. Fresh homemade bread to go with it, if I could get it.
Crackers, summer sausage, and one of those tubes of Kraft garlic cheese.
Britons shall never be slaves.
For me at one time all the above, but from now on HOT WINGS!!!
