Mr jwall, A man has to know his limitations. And I know mine, hunting chukar in Eastern Oregon in rolling sagebrush just after a snowstorm, dense fog rolled in, as it does, footprints obliterated, no sun, no distinctive terrain features...I never was lost but the pickup was. Deer hunting, snow, rain, fitful circling winds, dense rolling re planted forest, changed direction of hunt 10 times to keep nose in wind...I never got lost but the pickup was. Elk and lodgepole pine, about the same.
flint - I do understand that complex compasses are NEEDED in some/many places. (context hunting) I get it.
I'm serious about learning the features that are useful to some hunters. At my age I know I'll never be in those kind of places and I was not AT ALL being critical of anyone.
Y'all carry on........Never mind Brad.
Jerry
