I'm lucky, i guess. I have cell coverage where i hunt, and i always keep a good battery charged, and as ya'll know, i don't use the phone on the stand, so it stays charged. The valley of the damned, as i call it, is the only place that causes me pause. Anytime i go there, my son knows exactly where i will be and i call him when i come out. On our club, we pin out for a specific stand, not an area, so if your not out at a specific time, we know where your at. When hunting with someone else, we never leave until they are out of the woods, as well. This came in handy about 20 years ago. A friend shot a doe, and hurt his back fooling with her, and he couldn't get to his truck. Another member knew where he was and waited for him at an intersection. He waited for 30 minutes after dark, and went looking for him. This was before everybody had cell phones. He yelled out and my friend responded. He was so grateful, that someone came looking for him. He helped him to the truck, and loaded his deer for him. Another advantage to a small club, where everybody knows everybody. Be safe.
