Everyone loves food! We get a lot of questions on the food we pack on backcountry style hunts. The video below goes over the food Trail and I use each day on a hunt. The food list was from a 2019 Wyoming archery elk hunt in September. Also, be sure to check out the table at the bottom of the article to see a quick summary of our daily food lists.
