I hunt by myself majority of the time. I hunt nothing but private land and a lot of our land is spread out in differnt locations and counties. I always leave word which piece of proerty I will be hunting and approx. return time just in case I don' t show up. I have a first cousin that knows the land well and he lives close by so that makes me feel much better just in case something happens. I also carry my cell phone with me (turned off) and I have a two way radio that is able to reach the house from about 20 miles away. -- CDH
