[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2214879, member: 95344"] Generally speaking when I go to a new area I'll carry a map and compass. But I've been lucky and I'll either meet people who are willing to take me hunting and show me an area, or I live near my hunting areas and spend a lot of time out scouting. Most of the time I don't carry a map, compass or gps any more which isn't advisable. Since moving to Oregon I've used the Kit Carson method of land nav. But when going to a new area I'll look on the map and use my lensatic compass. I'll set up an emergency azimuth prior to leaving, and if necessary adjust when in the field. That's saved me once when in the ocean and another time in the field. These new apps apparently outline private lands and sometimes gives the land owner's name. that's pretty handy. [/QUOTE]
