I turn around and go home if I don't have my cell phone.  I try to keep my phone always in a zipped pocket within easy reach, so that I could get to it if I were hanging upside-down from a tree stand, for example.  I have never had a hunting accident in 25+ years, but it only takes one.  

I have a friend who fell out of a tree stand and got caught up in his safety strap.  He hung almost completely upside-down for 2 hours until someday came looking for him and found him.

Never use to take my phone, but now the wife insists that I do. Especially since I usually hunt alone.
Have found it to be useful when hunting with a buddy. Sure is nice to be able to text them to help with packing out a deer.

I take mine. I usually turn it off though. A lot of places I hunt we don't get reception, but it's there in case.

I carry one while I'm hunting from a treestand. It is never turned on, ever. I refuse to be bothered while I'm in the woods, or anywhere else.

When not in a stand it stays in my car, turned off. It is for emergency only.

I feel sorry for the masses as they let a phone rule their lives.
