Best Deer Hunting Snacks

[guywhofishes]

I've been stuck in a rut with what I put in my vest/backpack... granola bars, trail mix... maybe some crappy beef jerky because I ate my homemade venison jerky long ago.

What are your go-to snacks for being on foot or in the stand? Also - much of it is noisy as heck with the plastic wrappers.

And is there a decent jerky that doesn't taste like it's been chemically dissolved to make it tender... and is somewhat affordable in bulk? (Costco, Sam's, etc.)

 

[Captain Ahab]

Salted Nut Rolls and some sliced tangy summer sausage come to mind.

Prime Cuts does a meat and cheese "trail-mix" with several different seasonings. The BBQ and butter-garlic are both excellent! It comes in 1# plastic containers, but, if you give them a couple days notice they'll vacuum seal for you in whatever quantity you want.

Vienna sausages and sardines paired with a nice sleeve of saltine crackers.

I just put my snacks in zip-lock bags, nice and quiet.

You forgot to mention a gas mask and a case of baby-wipes that are also necessary post-snack.

The wife likes those peanut butter wafer things. I will take whatever I think would be good at the time. One year I made a bunch of pickled eggs. Jerky is always good, apples are good (then you can throw the rest out as bait) and of course some of the kids' Halloween candy.

So Simply Smart off 52ave in Fargo sells a local jerky, it's one of the better store bought ones I have had, can't remember the name, but thanks for reminding me, I need to go pick some up with in the next week...other than that I second the salted nut rolls and Cloverdale Original Tangy Summer Sausage ...

The best is taking waterfowl (10-20 honks) at a time to the local butcher and having them mix it 50-50 with beef and having sticks made. Cut up sticks of it and blocks of cheese the nite before the hunt/fish and bring Ritz or club crackers with. "Redneck meat & cheese tray in a ziploc", gets eaten up every trip.

Some days after exhausting walks, it's tough to beat a bologne sandwich smashed with palm as flat it will go with doritos used as the lettuce on top. (I wonder if im the only one who flattens my bologne sandwiches..)

Homemade overnight oats are a staple in this house as well, easy & YUM!

 

[Duckslayer100]

I usually have a pile of homemade goose jerky (which reminds me, I need to make more) thanks to waterfowl season, so that's a go-to.

Otherwise I always raid the kids' Halloween Candy. Pro tip: Unwrap the little bars ahead of time and keep them in a zip-top bag. Not nearly as noisy, and as long as it's cold, the candy won't melt.

Afterward -- and it's only during deer season, for some reason -- I like a plan white bun with copious butter and a hunk of summer sausage at least an inch thick. That's how my uncles always made them, and I guess it's a tradition I keep alive.

 

[Pheasant 54]

Bingo on the thick summer sausage/thick butter/preferably a nice soft white bread bun - simple unbeatable

Since I'm finally venturing away from my warm pickup cab in search of a mule deer, I'll have some of the kids' candy bars, some nut mixes, cheese/jerky and maybe some granola bars.

After the hunt, it's time for tiger meat and ritz crackers.

 

[LBrandt]

String cheese sticks or any other cheese that you like, salted nut rolls, and the tangy summer sausage sandwich is a must.

Aw yes major kudos, now deciding whom I should bother to make up a few dozen homemade buns for deer season..

 

[Wags2.0]

Nearly everything on this list would give me crippling heartburn while hunting lol. Tasty choices tho. The buttered bun with a massive slice of summer sausage is especially nostalgic and makes me hungry now.

 

[Reprobait]

Goober Grape peanut butter and jelly straight out of the jar.

 

[BDub]

Jerky, candy bars and chips.

Those deer hunting shits are legendary after a day or so.

If I don't have any of my father-in-laws jerky around I like the Cattlemen's Cut jerky. It's nummy and isn't overloaded with flavor to the point you can't taste the meat. I'll take that and some flavored cheese curds. I'll do Vienna sausages and crackers too.


Lately, my boy and I have been getting Frito scoops and some bean dip to have in the truck. Takes me back to when I would help my grandpa on his ranch and we'd have bean dip sandwiches and sprite! I'll have to pass that on to my boy looks like!
