When you're up before dawn and sitting in a stand or blind all day, you need food that's easy to carry, doesn't make a mess, and keeps your energy up. Jerky and snack sticks check every box. Here's what we'd pack for hunting season.
Why jerky works so well in the field
- High protein for steady energy on long days
- Lightweight and fits in any jacket pocket or pack
- Quiet to eat, with no crinkly wrappers or crumbs
- No cooking needed
All of our jerky and snack sticks are handmade in Howe, Texas, with no MSG, and our beef jerky is made from hand-cut 98% lean beef.
Our picks for the stand
Texas Pepper Steak: one of our most popular jerkies. Nice pepper flavor that barely creeps into warm, smoked in hickory.
Woodfire Garlic: a strong, smoky garlic flavor that's quickly becoming one of our best sellers.
Jalapeño & Cheddar sticks: a dried, on-the-go version of our summer sausage with jalapeños and cheddar ground right in. An all-time Texas favorite.
Venison sticks: what better snack for deer season? A little on the sweet side and high in protein.
Smoked Turkey Jerky: made from boneless, skinless turkey breast, 100% lean with no added sugar.
Tips for keeping it fresh in the field
Keep jerky out of direct sun and heat, like a hot truck cab. Once a bag is open, reseal it and refrigerate it when you get home. Stocking up for the whole season? We recommend freezing jerky within three weeks of purchase. Read more in our guide on how to store beef jerky.
