I don't do rifle season anymore (had someone glass me...with their scope), but I wear mine on a lanyard around my neck. It has a loop near the end of the lanyard that I buckle my pack chest strap through during movement. When I get where I'm going I undo the chest strap and let it hang more freely.

Lanyard around my neck that is just a few inches shorter than my binos. Or I keep it in my front pocket of blaze orange vest

Depends on what season I am hunting.  If I'm rifle hunting, I carry it in my hip belt pouch on my pack.  But when I'm bowhunting, I like my rangefinder on me and quietly, easily accessible if/when I drop my pack so I have been using the Crooked Horn RF Shooter.  Got the idea from seeing Nate Simmons using it and I really like it after one season of use.

Left pocket of the orange vest.  If I have the big pack on it has a hip belt pocket.

I thought rifle hunters didn't need them because rifles have no difference in trajectory out to 500 yards?  :dunno:

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Good point. If they're an inch high at 100 they should hit at 680 without any further corrections  :tup:

For rifle the lanyard is around pack shoulder(right) strap with a pouch attached to strap. No worry if dropped.

When archery hunting its attached to my bow.

That didn't take long.   Sorry, couldn't resist.
1. Illegal to have electronics attached to bow
2. I don't bow hunt
