For evening hunting, a GPS with map software is invaluable. Back it up with a compass for sure, but the GPS will become your best friend. They are reliable now and almost fail safe. Spare batteries and a compass, and you are set.

Agree.I don't know about yourself Tahr but ive had one or two real hard falls from walking into the wrong spot and that's only in 3 to 4 years hunting here.
