We name all of our treestands and tell each other wich one we will be in and I know where my hubby is and vise-versa. We make maps of each area and If I dont know the area well I have that to rely on. Cel phones dont always work so always have an alternate plan. I always carry a glo-stick with me. Flashlights can go dead but that glo-stick will last all night. I also have a mirror in my pocket and a whistle so hopefully I am covered.
shooting an arrow in the air doesnt seem to work well!
We are planning on investing in walkie talkies soon since we have been hunting alot for public ground.

Don, Hope your ankle heals soon-sorry to hear about that.
