Nuts, jerky and tuna/salmon pouches for me.  I also add olive oil, mainly cause I love the stuff  :)

But my diet in the mountains is essentially the same as my diet at home.  I really think people should match their regular diets and maybe adjust calorie intake if their activitiy is increased.
Take a kid hunting!

Thanks for all the feedback. We're packing in for this hunt. My last hunt in UT was truck camping and we ate like kings. Problem was I was the joke of the camp. Had the shovel in my hands almost as much as the bow which made for some uncomfortable hiking! I think you can see the holes I dug all over Ashley national forest on google earth!

I am packing 163,000 calories cleverly hidden in subcutaneous reserves. Hopefully I'll be able to live off these if I don't consume 3000 calories in snickers per day.

The key thing to remember is everybody is unique and to listen to your own body. I have been on a "low carb" diet for years now because of my lifestyle (powerlifting, strongman competitions and wrestling) and I feel great, but I can tell when something is out of whack and adjust my caloric intake as such.
Bottom-line is try to stay healthy but enjoy your hunt, if that means the occasional snickers then so be it, you can lose weight once you get back home.
