Greetings all,
For the last year or so I've been reading, and searching, and taking safety courses, and getting ready to go out hunting. Finding a mentor has been slow going, so I may very well be going myself. Private property has been very hard to locate, but there is some state land that abuts to a private campgound where I can get a cabin opening weekend.
My thought is now going towards a piece of hunting/hiking equipment that I may need to invest in. A GPS.
Has anyone bought a GPS for hunting/hiking in area they are not familiar with enough to just "know" where they are while out walking. If so, what did you like or not like about it, and what would you recommend?
I've used a compass to find my way in woods before, and a topo map, but the state land I'm looking at is difficult enough even with tried and true tools. So looking for some pointers, or thoughts on the GPS.
