i keep mine in my pant EMPTY pant pocket, and you have to have it in an empty pocket because a pocket full of shells and a phone on vibrate dont mix well[:'(]

I agree with dubbya. It was my fault. I never take my phone deer hunting. I have been taking it turkey hunting because I'm hunting at my dads and I call him with live updates. He watches me with his binos from behind the barn. It's a relaxing hunt and I'm just out to have fun. I set it to vib everytime but this one. I even set my camera not to make any sound.

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.;)
Very True!!

My phone may be on silent but it's always with me.;)

I always have a phone on me, either turned off or on vibrate. I lost two of the things in the turkey woods and once had my daughter tryin to call me while I was watching 2 deer come down a trail towards my stand. I ignored it and the deer didn't notice it. I ended up spine shooting one of them (I know, bad shot). It fell behind a stone wall. I went to check the msg my daughter left before my climb down, and while looking at the phone, I catch movement. The doe I shot stood up and ran maybe 5 min after the shot! Lesson learned, when a spine shot deer goes down, finish it off! I took the deer for dead. Anyway, I did track it and found it bedded down on the edge of a corn field in the dark. I backed out, went back the next morning (Without a bow, no sunday hunting in CT). I figured she would be piled up or coyote bait, but when I got there, she was standing up and feeding! She took off, I ran into her later that morning about a quarter mile away. There was not a drop of blood in her bed either! I'm sure she made it, what a tough animal!

Too much communication can be a bad thing. It is easy to forget to turn it to vibrate. I usually like to turn it off, this way I don't feel compelled to answer it. I already threw out the Blackberry and the pager when I quit my last job. Hopefully someday I will loose the cell phone too.

Try being at full draw on a nice 11 pointer and having the phone go off [:@]

Even on vibrate that would be unnerving.

My buddy's ring tone is a gobbler going off. Magic too bad you didn't have that on there you might have struck one up this morning.;)
