Ididn't do this next one while hunting, I did it while hiking...it would work the same for a hunting trip as well

I had a a few guys that I use to hike with..one day my buddy says his brother in law wants to come out, so we meet up on a Fri. afternoon load up the trucks forbit short of a 4 hour drive to the mountains..the whole time my this new guy is talking about how he is this hot s**t outdoors man and can find his way out of any woods and so on, and so on..so we got to where we were going and set up camp for the night, getting ready to hikethe next day..once this guy was asleep we took his compass apart..my other buddy found small magnet and smashed it up to smaller bits..we took the bottom cover off his compass andstuck the magnet shavings in side of it ..due east..put it all back together and bedded down. The next day we split up and gave a time to meet back at camp..so we set off..then about 120 yardsout I meet up with everyone but the brother in law...we started to watch him where we could see him but he didn't know we where there...he must have walked about 250 yard out of camp and from there he just keep going in circles, at one point he sat down and looked really worried, we still left him alone after about 2 hours he lost it and reached for his pocket and started blowing a whistle..we ran right over to him, laughing the whole way..when we got close to him we saw he was so worked up he had tears in his eyes, we felt a bitbad but oh well, we headedback to camp, the whole 45min walk back he was swearing us up and down, that night we all covered his bar tab to make it up to him
for some reason he never wanted to go out hiking with us again

and we still have the compass that only reads one direction..we got only after he got pissed and threw at us
