Hubby has had a few close calls out in the woods. And, they were all when he had left early and told me he would be gone all day. This was before we invested in good walkie talkies to use (cell phones are not always reliable). It would be way after dark before I would get worried if there was a serious problem. And, he knows our woods out back a way lot better than I do if I were have to direct people to start looking for him. I would just have a general idea.
One time years ago, I was worried about him and walked down to the creek, only to find him working to drag his deer with him and his flashlight had died. He was exhausted but was bring that deer with him, come hell or high water! Life lesson is always have two flashlights.

The guys I hunt with usually hunt in one area, but Dick was certain he knew a better spot...
At the end of the day, where’s Dick?
Back out we go... And there is Dick with a beautiful 10-point whitetail on his shoulders, we were much younger then.
Asked why de didn’t return for a 4WD, he didn’t want to take a chance with coyotes damaging his deer.
And still hangs in his living room.
Two is one and one is none.
