Nope. I hunt in one of the few places in my state where I can't get cell service. I suppose someday it will become available. If so, I'll probably carry it. Probably leave it turned off though and use it only in an emergency. When I'm hunting, the last thing I want is someone to call or text me. The people I hunt with don't want to be bothered that way either.

Always. You never know when you may need it. Plus there are a couple cool apps that are beneficial to me when scouting or hunting.

Those who don't are foolish. Anything can happen in the woods, severe cuts, falls, broken bones, heart attacks. Geez.

Yes & most phones GPS and map functions will work even without cell signal.

Yep! Even if I'm using 18th century gear and clothing - a cell phone is hidden away.
I use a turkey call (some yelps with answering gobbles) for a ringtone and I don't have to turn the phone off in the woods!

I have no concern whatsoever about what might be in my woods except for gravity. I carry the cell phone in case I fall and kept get up.

I can't stand the things ( my wife has one and can't even get a signal in the house
) let alone when I'm hunting. Defiantly no signal there. All of NY isn't the city. Above Albany no one cares about. If I need to be reached ,I did just invest in an answering machine on the home phone.

I never have because of poor reception. But, with that improving all the time, and my getting older and usually hunt alone, I'll be carring it this season.
