I never go out in the Big woods/wilderness areas without my compass. Im on my second GPS and I enjoy using it as a way of storing information, preplaning routes and marking possible sites I find on the map and want to explore later.
I hunt out of state a lot and hunting many spots I only visit when I draw tags, having a waypoint list helps save time and refresh my memory.
Plus I like the technology, it's amazing what the average man has access to in this day and age.
