some of my spots i fear noone would find me for a very long time. the state gamelands i hunt regularly is almost 11000 acres and once i get bored and start moving im moving...just let game sign lead me. i know where i am and have never been lost...but just because my stand spots are all known by dad when im walking it would take a search party to locate me.

another spot is a national forest. you can walk for days and only hit tiny dirt roads occassionally. sometimes they have traffic from hunters and anglers but sometimes when im back there im 5 miles from a hard road and need 4wd to get back there and walk pretty far from the truck after that seeing noone..no vehicles or houses or anything.

both spots a cellphone is useless. dad hunts and knows both areas and even when im at college and hunting i call home and let them know im hunting and dad knows the area i will be in incase i wouldnt show up back home. once i get cellphone service i call home and tell someone im driving back to school and im alright.

dangerous stuff...but thats what i love. i love the back country and hate seeing people and evidence of people. i just love to get away..im pretty confident that in an emergency id either get out or i could survive long enough to be found...but thats no situation id wanna be in. making myself a crutch and dragging myself out of the woods..or surviving back there till someone found me..but i am confident if i had to id be alright in the end
