However I try to use it as a last resort, its awesome to look back at at the end of the day and look at the ground you've covered. What i would recommend which is what i currently do is have a laminated map and a compass with you and use this as much as possible because as mentioned above once you learn the area you won't forget it, by having this you only then need to use your GPS to confirm where you are and by doing this and realizing that you are exactly where you thought on the map you will become alot more confident hunting in bush you have never been in before. Best of luck out there man.

+1 thats how i roll....laminated topo map (hunting permit on other side) and my compass, use my Garmin 60CSx for getting myself outta the shit.......sometimes....im getting better, honest!!!!

+1 Scouser !!
