If you are going to go solo you might invest in one of the SPOT devices. I got one for my Xmas wish list this year and will be using it.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

GOod point, i've been looking at those. YOu can signal that you're hurt, but I think they require a subscription don't they? Man i hate monthly payments.

I can also offer this advice...  Just because you find bucks in August, doesn't mean they're gonna be there in September...  Even if the basin you hunt is 2-4 miles from any trail and you're the only person there hunting and the bucks haven't been pushed out.... found that out the hard way this last year.  The reason the bucks weren't there is because the area dried out a LOT from the beginning of August to Middle of September.  Find an area that has water and will remain green (IE: North facing slopes/chutes/basins) through september that are remote and you should find bucks.

Looking back to last Sept's hunt I 'know' exactly where all the bucks went that I scouted in August, but it never occurred to me during the hunt that the area had dried out.  I was SURE the bucks were there when really they'd moved into a different section of the huge basin we were in.

Good luck!  I'm already scouting out new areas on maps and have spent the better part of 2 hours today researching which areas are likely possibilities...

Done the high hunt the last two years, 5.5 miles 4500 vertical feet in. First year 24" four point, killed the knees on the way down. Second year no deer, bears everywhere, buddy killed a nice Cinnamon before we left.
