most of the time I either take a talk-about or a handheld cb radio.they were gifts from my wife.I also have a leg problem.the left one just goes away and I crash and burn a lot.<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>.never had a cell phone.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

I think a whistle is a great idea! Sometimes, my cell-phone's reception leaves much to be desired.... I do carry a 2-way radio, but batteries & the chance of dropping and breaking it could defeat the purpose.

Thanks, Mudfish2!

RE: always carry a ....
 
All of these are great ideas!If a cell will work in your area,by all means carry one.I hunt in several different areas around my home,and
since I am usually up and gone way before the family gets up,I have a way that I communicate my plans to them.I picked up a small dry-erase slate board(about 24&quot;x24&quot;),and mounted it outside the kitchen door,under the carport.I attached a zip-lok bag to it to keep a marker in,so it's always there.When i get ready to take off,the LAST
thing I do is to jot down which stand or area that I will be in.This
way,if I don't show up,my wife can notify a buddy of mine,and he knows where to look for me.WORKS FOR ME!
Two other item that you should alwats have with you,are a good,sharp knife,and some way to start a fire(just in case).A good motto to live by is...ALWAYS BE PREPARED,AND EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.<img src=icon_smile_8ball.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

All good ideas. Better safe than sorry. These days I never hunt alone and keep in touch with who I'm hunting with useing two way radios. It's saved my bacon once already.

hey thats a good idea, the old three shots in the air has long past, at least for me ,it takes that many shots for me to hit anything now !i hate to have someone come running to find out i missed again LOL

Relive the thrill of your first hunt,take a kid hunting !
