I wear one. Like to know what time I'm seeing deer. Do you guys really take your cell phones to the stand?

Absolutely.


You never know when you might need it.I know a person that layed in the woods for 24 hours with a broken back.A cell phone might have helped get him out in a reasonable amount of time.
Exactly TFOX! If you have a cell, and do not take it with you, you could be making a BIG mistake .....

My final phone interview for my medical sales job was conducted with me watching a forkhorn approaching from the distance. He ended up walking right under me just after I said "Goodbye"... :DIt's not my fault everything was happening during the best week of the season! [8D]

I don't wear a watch, but I do take one with me.

If I have it on and I get really cold, I look at my watch every 5 minutes or so. The day really drags on that way.
tell me about it, when i freeze out but have a watch to stare at i swear time practically stops. I quit wearing mine for the same reason, i now just glance at the cell if i have to.

A cheap digital watch (with extra large numbers for these old eyes)is attached to the backof thebow's riser with industrial velcro. All I have to do is glance at my bow situated in front of me. Since I have to open the shop at a specific time, I have to allow myself enough time to get there. After all, hunters are usually waiting for me to fix their equipment.;)

The cell phone is a great safety tool and has also eliminated the need for 2-way radios. It is located in my Enigma camo upper left pocket and is on vibrate.

Don't wear a watch, and haven't in years. At work, I'm usually in front of a computer, so I know what time it is. When I'm driving, I have a clock on the dash. When I'm out in the woods, I have a fob watch that attaches to my belt loop. Usually don't look at it unless I have to be out of the woods at a certain time for something else.

I never have a wrist watch. I have always used my cell phone. If I do not watch the time it seems like the day gets all messed up. I also use a watch for knowing when it is legal time to shoot. Been alot of times when in the stand thinking it was legal but was not and the clear sky was making me think it was later then it was.
