RE: Lost in the woods..
I've gotten lost a few times but one time really bad. Me and my dad were squirrel hunting and decided to go in opposite directions and meet up at the truck later. I thought I knew these woods pretty well. After shooting a few squirrels and crossing a few creeks, I decided it was time to start walking back. To cut it short, I had crossed the same creek about 5 times in different spots and didn't know which side I was really on. The sun had already gone down and I got panicky. I tried to calm down and figure out which direction the truck was. I picked a direction and took off walking. I kept listening because I knew my dad would be blowing the horn or something when I wasn't back at dark. I ended up getting out of the woods about 2 o'clock that morning when I hit a road that was a about 7 miles from where the truck was. I walked down the road until I came to house and cautiously,( man with a gun at night) they let me use the phone. I called my house and my mom was going crazy. They had set up a search team and had started in the woods. She then called Dad on his cell phone and everyting was fine. But I sure learned a valuable lesson and it scared the #### out of me. I'm glad I was able to calm down and compose myself. Good Hunting
