My brother and I got turned around our second year hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The area we were in is one of the most remote areas in the state with nothing but over grown logging roads for many miles. Anyhow, I had shot a deer and after we tracked and field dressed it starting dragging it out. We only had about a hundred yards to go but knew something wasn't right after we went about 300. Took us about half an hour to find we had somehow made a complete U-turn and were heading further from the road. We learned a quick lesson and have always carried a compass since.
