Hand held GPS unit suggestions..
The search function turned up nada so I'll make a new post.
I would like to get my hands on a nice little hand held GPS unit to carry out into the brush with me. It doesn't need to be fancy, just functional. What do I need it to do? Well, I'd like to be able to say :
This is camp. This is my stand, how far is it?
This is a nice buck rub, can I mark it so I can find it later in the year?
This little draw funnels the deer through this pasture, how close am I to Earl's stand? Could I set up a tree stand here?
How close to the property line am I?
I saw a big buck here....how close to where I saw him last week?
Optionally...I'd like to be able to stand on a hill and see how high it is and compare that to other points on the property.
Etc, etc. I would just like to be able to plot out points of interest to come back to them and notice things/be able to mark them and measure distances frmo point A to point B, etc. The brush on my property is nasty thick (so long as Earl's dozer stays down for the count, I guess) just the way I like it. I'm a fair woodsman and am not afraid to get lost a while but I'd like to know where I am so I can place my hunting spots a little more strategically next season to avoid the other hunters and the like.
LMK if you have any ideas. I'm going to hit the outdoors big box store this weekend and poke around but I'll be better served to hold off until deer season is done and gone.
