[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1398589, member: 99519"] The gps is a rhino...and the compass just a standard camper clear acrylic plastic housing.... I knew they were wrong because I pretty much walked a straight line....very little diviation...reprod patch...very open between trees... Only reasoning I have is that there was must have been a magnetic influence.....I turned around and walked straight back towards the truck....hit the road about 20 yards away.... I had been in he area before but from different directions....so my knowledge of the terrain saved me that time.... There are other places in the same area that render the GPS useless..under big timber canopies.. The only way to really get lost and stay lost in that area is to keep walking in circles....its a tough place to hunt because roads are allover...timber patches are getting fewer and fewer....and the elk bed down just far enough into the timbers to hear the traffic and stay hidden...brothers buddy killed one of the most massive antlers bulls I have ever seen just 75 yards from a paved road....body wise that bull was giant....I once saw, while bow hunting the same area, a bull that its mainbeam reached beyond its rump...10×50 REDFIELD binos at about 300 yards.....NO OTHER TINES...a 6' long spike...the guy that killed the massive bull hunted there rifle season..hiked out from his camper and 100 yards from his camper in the thickest brush was a bull elk....he didn't shoot because something looked really odd......it was that giant spike....it was not a young bull...
