SafetyTip for all !!!

Being in the business that I am (working in the Medical Examiners office) I would like to remind all of us that when we do go hunting this year leave map and location of the area and stand you will be hunting in with your wife or friend. And inform them if you are going to move from that location. In my job every year we get a case of someone who unfortunately had an accident afield and nobody knew where they were hunting or what time they would be back.Having this info on hand could help in getting help before it's to late. So photocopy your location and keep someone informed of your whereabouts it could save your life.

I try to always let my wife know the "name" of the stand I'll be hunting so she can tell my son if I don't return. However, I'll also admit I have been known to change my mind on my wat to a particular stand. I take a cell phone and have it in a pocket hoping that if I do get into a jam I'll be able to call.

I read this and then went out at midnight to do some trail camera work; and in the dark; fell down a hillside. I had to laugh afterwords when I stopped rolling and --- remembered this thread.
Then while looking for another trail camera ( in a bedding area) I found overturned rocks; and bear scat; and no camera. I walked in circles for an hour until (lucky for me the camera was not face down) the flash of the camera helped me find where the bears left it. Then I was thinking- OK: which way to the road?

You should also try and hunt with/near someone else.. I know lots of Us bow hunters just hunt alone. But it would be safer to have someone near just in case.

Brian,
If you will send me the GPS coordinates of that camera location (with the nearby bear)... If you see me in the area I'm just watching out for you...really I am!

My problem is that I don't hunt from a stand--like to slip in and stand in different locations depending on the wind and my mood. I can tell the general vicinity but not the specifics of where I'll be.

David, same with me. Best I can do is leave a note on the fridge with where I'll be parked (and any alternate possibilities for the day), or a map of the area I'll be hunting. I sometimes leave my cell # on a piece of paper visible through the windshield of my truck too. I HATE having a cell phone on me while hunting, but it's a concession I made to my family.

Unfortunately my experience is that cell phones don't always work in the woods. If the area is on of those and you'll be on the hunting on the move you could leave a 2-way radio in your car and if they know where you parked and come looking for you they can use the radio to call you with.
Of course that assumes you didn't just take out a large life insurance policy and told your spouse...

Bread crumbs is the answer. Always leave a trail of bread crumbs. I read that somewhere.
