Have you ever gotten lost in the woods while hunting?
I think that is one of my biggest fears. I have to have a GPS where ever I go. I know they have specific ones for the woods, but I dont have one. Would it be a good thing to invest in one of those?
It is a good fear to have. This is the first year I will be doing some hunting on my own so I just bought me a Garmin Legend. It will be a good idea to have a compass as well. Use the "bright eyes"/ bright flourecent tacks like the others suggested to mark your trail every 40 to 50 yards (stick them at eye level so when you shine your flash light you will see them) and orange tape to wrap around small trees for markers as well but try to mark them next to signifigant land marks like fallen trees and boulders and such will be even more helpful.
Do you plan on scouting that area?
