45-70 limits out. My hunting story (rather long)

[popper]

I'm always amazed at the 'deep woods/remote location' rescues. Have a cell phone to call but don't use the GPS to relay location. Years ago, it was required to have a sat phone/gps receiver to get into remote Havasu canyon area. Of course the civilian system won't put you to 50 yds but it's better than a compass. Then there is the mil. survivor's flashlite/blinker. Probably some kid's toy with an LED 5 second blinker - just have to remember to take fresh batteries. I should talk, saw 3 deer and didn't even take my cellphone/camera with me.

No cell phone and no computer access?
How did you survive?
LOL!

I just spent four days with nearly no (quit trying) cell phone coverage. Finally switched to "airplane mode" to save the battery for clock functions. Dunno if the compass function was working but I know how to use a real one. GPS uses satellite signals so no cell phone reception is necessary for a GPS unit, not sure about a smart phone.

Just big enough!

Tim, thank you sir for the great story and pictures. The story of the hunt was great, but the story of the processing of the deer at home was as good or better, thanks again. Seeing the picture of your daughter helping you process the deer reminded me of my kids helping me with projects at home, lots of fun. Two daughters, two sons and now six grandkids, good memories. Enjoy the memories and make as many as you can. Take care, John.
