[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2215017, member: 63925"] Ed, +++! on carrying regulations! I had interesting discussion with good friend in CO 2 years ago on need to carry Hunter Safety card. Showed him in regulations where it also clear states no matter if you provided to buy license. 2 days later a CO dropped by our camp at dinner when we all came back in and 2nd thing he asked for was it. Plus good to have in case there is a disagreement on legality of anything with a CO. What I haven't stated is I do have Onyx and Basemaps but where I have hunted out west you need to download everything since there is no mobile signal so I prefer maps at that point. I never said I don't LIKE them but believe there is a loss of skills that is sad to see go downhill. I use GPS a lot out west to set way-points for camp, horses, kill sites, water, where I saw Momma Bear😅 and other pertinent locations. Where I have a good signal, I also really use them for cameras and just for giggles I track my kill trails for distance traveled on the private land I hunt in Indiana which is kind of moot point since 90% is field and rest hedgerows and 15 acre pocket of wetland. Most of time I can see them laying in field! In MI I hunt public land 90% of time so boundaries no issue. I totally agree on using them for boundaries but I don't like how it is causing some folks, at least that hunt with me, to abandon compass and maps. I actually had really good friend tell me he doesn't trust maps or even the compass! I almost p'eed my pants laughing so hard! So I ask him if his nav screen in his new Ram is 100% accurate and he said "Of course!" and I said what about speed limits? And he said No and so it is 100% accurate uhuh... We all have had GPS want to take us over a cliff since it shows a road there. If I was hunting in a location that REALLY required tight boundaries and had a signal, yes, I would likely use it to SOME degree. [/QUOTE]
