Should have had his phone on silent or vibrate. ALWAYS double check that before you go afield..

I hope you didnt ruin his hunt, though.
I have noticed that when my cell is on vibrate, and the woods are real quiet, it makes enough noise that I believe if a deer were close enough that it would/could be heard. It gets left in the truck now. I won't take that kind of chance when I'm trying to kill a buck. I take my chit seriously.I'm notTHAT far from humanity!
That is unless you are laying in the woods hurt needing help.

I have 1 friend and know another person that are paralized as a result of hunting accients.One spent 24 hours laying on the ground unable to move untill help arrived.(extenuating circumstances with work schedules caused the extreme delay)No one knew he wasn't back untill then.

Put it in a pocket,the deer won't hear it.

Here's the story.
I'm in my ground blind and I forgot to put my phone on vib. At 5:22 my phone starts singing " I want it all and I want it now" The queen song. I am frantically trying to dig the damn thing out of my pocket to shut it off. I answer it and noone is there. As I listen I can here someone in the background. So I sit there and listen! For a quite a while! I notice that its Brian that called. Apperently he didn't realize that he called me. I'm not going to tell on him but he does some strange things early in the morning!
Oh ya, I dont think the turkeys liked my ring tone. Non sighted[&o]

On my phone if I put it on silent and get a call or text, it will beep when I have a message.

I have my phone on vibrate in my pocket so when I feel it go off I just push the side button and it stops vibrating.

Vibrating is the only setting on phone that is completly silent.

Man, I'm going to have to put the blame on Magic... silent or vibrate is a MUST!

Come on Magic, we expect more out of you!!!

I don't get mad, I get even. I wonder if there is cell phone reception where Brian is going bear hunting?

I've put it in my pocket in the past, but even on vibrate, it makes enough noise.I'll give the no noise setting a try, I totally forgot about this option. DUHHHHH!!!
