Good afternoon sir, thanks so much for the reply and instructive story.
Your experience is exactly why I've been doing the very same thing for years now.
We keep a notebook on the island in the kitchen. If the pickup is gone in hunting season, there's detailed notes of where I'm going, where I'll park, which way I intend to walk and when I intend to be back.
That reminds me too that I've got to install a gps app on my wife's phone that will enable me to share the coordinates of some of my usual spots with her. I had that with a Garmin Etrex for years where she could go to the PC I'm on now, pull up the Etrex program and be able to see most of the places I'd be hunting that fall.
It's a really good idea on a bunch of levels to do written instructions though for sure. We teach that to students in the Hunter Safety class in fact, as it at least gives the local Search & Rescue volunteers a starting point.
Thanks again for the timely reminder as it's hunting season in two weeks down here.
All the best and good luck on your hunts this fall.
Dwayne
