Always always always have water in your pack.

HAHA:work:

here is the latest, he did panic, he thought it just didn't look right going back where the compass was telling him. wild life guys are here along with sheriff dept boats. we are texting with him. they can see him on night vision now, trying to get him out, area he got himself into is too shallow for their boats. Wildlife guy found out we were from south louisiana, he told me when he launched his boat, you best have some gumbo for me tomorrow night ! ha,

any updates

besides him still being lost i can't wait till the morning, man we saw some birds just here at the camp ground. I wonder if he is going to want to hunt, he should know the area pretty good now,

you know he actually did, we were **** chatting while he was waiting on his boat and he told me a lot, said since we were dealing with all this he would help us out, but heck david, just from what i've seen at the camp ground, i think we will do fine, i got 10 miles of flagging tape coming with us tomorrow!

Iron man = Idiot

If he has a smart phone, tell him to download boatus app. It is like a Spot for your phone. It will send your name along with lat and lon to who ever you program it to go to.

Man, compass don't lie. He learnin a good leasson. Overcome dat fear and trust your compass. Course he will likely go home and buy a GPS for Christmas. LOL

There are some areas up in that part of the state that a compass will just spin in circles. Urchin, I know of 1 spot north of Vinton that a compass will just spin.

It is a very bad feeling when you get lost, it happened to me in a national forest blood trailing a deer and got turned around, found a creek and followed it out, now i always have flagging tape with me. glad they know where he is though!

He is back and all is good now. sheriffs and game wardens were awesome, lots of guys came out here to help in the cold. Cost of rescue mission a gumbo tomorrow night, that's it...and we got a ton of info on some local honey holes, guess it was a blessing in disguise, them fellows said we going home with some mallards!

Wow play by play!! glad your bud is okay! Smoke them greenies and make sure those guys get a good south la gumbo!

Thanks...
 

Not a good start to the week, dealt with the rescue mission yesterday and now get up to a line of rough weather fixing to move in, guess back to bed till this crap moves on through

Should be good hunting behind it. Mallards should be thick

Good to hear he made it back, I am watching it pour down here in north louisiana right now. Y'all go back south, there ain't no ducks up here, never has been, never will be:D

Ha..
 

yeah I hear you, we don't have anything either down south, especially trout...I'd be out there too watching it rain but got our young boys with us.

Watching it rain while inside drinking coffee! I ain't that mad at em! Looks like it is going to rain off and on all day, good luck. Next week ought to be curtains for the big ducks. River is rising and starting to get into the woods

i got lost on my own property in lake clabiorne i had this property ten years.my brother n law shot a doe with his bow i helped track and had my back pack on firelane with compass and diesel truck running thought it be a quick find.at ten pm we finally got phone signal i called my wifes uncle and he went to my truck and blew horn.we were so far we barely heard it we were going wrong way and never would of found our way.scary feeling.but we got the deer.

Some guys have no idea how to get around without a GPS! I have one and the only time it gets used is in a boat runnin marsh thats new to me. What would yall do without all this technology?!
