cell phones will be the down fall

[BIGINNER]

Add me to the hate list, yes I use mine a lot and it's very useful but I still hate the damn things.  Do you guys ever feel them vibrate when you don't even have them on you? It happens to me the first few days of hunting when I'm without it.

@bobcat, just turn the damn thing off! I usually set mine to airplane mode so I can still check the time and use it as an alarm clock but it won't search for signal.

put that thing on vibrate stick it in your pocket and ignore it leave it in the car  leave it in your underwear drawer at home 

I take mine and will surf huntwa when I get bored if I have signal just depends on what I am doing if I am seriously hunting then it gets tossed in the pack or left in the car.

No matter how much hunting I do, I love it when my baby girl calls me on mine and tells me good luck. I will keep mine!!!!!

When I am out I let everyone know I will be out of cell range...... even if I am sitting next to a cell tower.  The only reason I dont turn it off is so i can use the GPS and pull up satellite photos and maps if I need to.

I used to just keep mine in my pack since I never really got reception where I hunted anyways.  I say used to because about 4 years ago I mountain biked in the dark three miles behind a gate, and at first light had my scope settled on a nice three point I had been trying to get the drop on for several days.  Then as my finger is creeping towards the trigger I start feeling a vibration comming out of my pack followed by my elk bugle ring tone needless to say the buck was not impressed with the sound of a dominate bull comming out of the funny bush standing 80 yards away.  I never seen that deer again that season, and my phone never left the truck again.

I like that story! I'll bet that buck didn't like the idea of a big bull elk crashing his party...
