I swear sometimes the man is a genius. You would have to be pretty smart to come up with such outlandish and completely ridiculous ideas. Using a compass to find deer? Maybe if it had an EXTREMELY powerful magnet shoved up it's bum!! Other than that, what use would a compass or any other directional finding implement be? I can see using a GPS waypoint marker to mark last sign found, maybe establishing a pattern of flight but other than that, nope, nodda, nuttin, not a single use whatsoever of directional devices.
