Now that it is only less then a few days away lets figure out what were all bringing for some snacks or lunch in the stand.Keep the ideas coming. got to keep are alertness up, never know when he shows up

For me its usually some sort of granola bar for breakfast and trail mix for occasional. Maybe some jerky or snack sticks if theres any left. lunch usualy consists of summer sausage sandwich or peanut butter jelly

Sliced apples in a sealed baggy! Apples help reduce bad breath. New energy drinks made by Realtree that are in camo cans that can double as a urine container. 2c

Most mgm stores sells them now. I guess they are a real hit in the southern US and they can't keep the shelves stocked as they are sold asap.

For me jerky is a little to strong scented to bring into the stand. I like to stick with less noticeable things like plain sandwiches. At least they seem less noticeable to me.

However I do believe we should be eating the siblings of our prey while back at camp. We will be eating backstraps and venison brats for dinners.

Hey Finlander where would a guy find these Realtree drinks?

i've only seen them in liquor stores.

and RealTree has them advertised PERFECTLY......."not for city boys" i thought that was hilarious the first time i saw it!

yep they figured out a new market and advertising campaign... my buddy had one and it tasted like sugary sweet orange soda and gave him a huge buzz

i'll stick to 5 hour energy

as for snacks, i usually go with granola bars, jerky, and water. maybe an apple or two if its above freezing. i don't get too caught up in the whole scent thing... there's a ton of stuff that smells more potent than your snack out in the woods

I agree with granola bars and apples, I bring water bottles also, big enough so I dont have to get out of the tree. I like peanut butter and honey sandwiches, stuff cant smell any sweeter then the deer attractor scents they make.

I like to keep things simple, venison jerky and water. For all days sits I will pack a couple of candy bars and a sandwich too, usually a thick slab of salami and cheese is my standard on-stand meal.

I dont get out of my stand. Once I am up I stay till the end so I pack a 3 course meal,,ha. Deer jerkey,fruit,trail mix,deer meat samichs,jolly ranchers and 2 packs of smokes. Suppose it will be different this year with only 1 tag maybe just a apple and a water and 1 pack. I keep a freezer bag in my pack for the garbage and butts.

Trail mix, PBJ, granola bars repackaged into ziploc bags. I eat constantly which is funny because I really don't eat much in 'real life'.

I read quite a bit in the stand and probably 'absentmindedly' eat.

Apples are a classic fall snack too. Hope they don't consider my cores bait!

<home made roasted pumpkin seeds>

one thing I do with any snack I take to the stand is use syran wrap instead of a zip lock bag.

alot quieter and easy enough to squish

For all-day sits, two sandwiches (with whatever lunchmeat is in the fridge), two bananas (quieter to eat than an apple), and two cookies. If I'm only out for a few hours, usually all I bring is some water.

Interesting comment about the saran wrap. I always thought that would be louder than a ziplock. I always open my ziplocks as slowly as I can and there is almost no noise. I'll have to experiement with the plastic wrap.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      if you have a jig and a minnow, lots of fish on all depths. Trust your electronics

      What did you catch that furry one on, a special flying lure?

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
