lol!!! that's pretty dang funny. yeah i learned there aren't too many places you can hunt in florida unless it's unusually cold that you won't have mosquitos. but i have to say i like your little comment about 'em. yeah i would've talked longer but my phone was dieing so anyhow. it was definately very helpful.

I have been so busy this year I haven't been able to get out to GS, but am planning on getting out there for the last weekend of archery.

Good luck everyone!

My principal had a GPS in the Green Swamp a few years ago...there was tons of cloud cover so it didn't work.He was lost for 10 hours.

.I was a point man in the military and can uae a compass very well.. I print out maps off of google earth and shoot my asthmus right from my house. Yesterday at Three Lakes I couldn't find my trail tacks..very foggy ..I brought out the trusty 4.99 Walmart compass..and shot my asthmus at 320 degrees..spot on..

I love my compass..but .for my automobile..I love my GPS.

What Chuck said. GPS units are nice, but a back-up compass is a must.

Quite a few years ago there was hunter walking around. He stated he was in the army and had a sense of direction. After watching him walk around for a while with his his sense of direction, that must have come from a comic book , because he was lost and would not admit to it.

Take both gps, compass and a set of backup batteries. The same type should work for your gps and flashlight just in case you are out there at night. BTW, some Gps's do not work in the cypress domes. They are too dense.
