I have always fed my dogs (English Springer Spaniels) twice per day. I don't change that on hunting days except that I feed a bit more after the hunt if it was a full day. By feeding twice a day the amount prior to hunting is not to much for their system to handle and eliminates the concern over twisted stomach. I may also add some biscuts during a full days hunt to help keep their energy level constant. I am not a fan of suppliments and energy potions. A good quality food and some small adjustments for the energy output has worked well for my dogs. I do the same thing for myself. Most of us probably eat about the same thing on the day of the hunt as we would on any other day. We just may eat a bit more to make up for the extra energy needs.
