With hunting season coming up, a hand-held VHF Radio may be the clear ticket for you!

Every year we hear reports of hunters getting lost while hunting in areas they are not familiar with.  They live and work in a big city and then expect to jump right into the woods and pretend they’re Daniel Boone or something.  Even those of us who live in the woods all our lives have to be careful not to get turned around while walking through dense forestation.  It’s real easy to get turned around – I’ve had it happen to me and let me tell you – it is not a very friendly feeling.  I knew the way out, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember how far in the woods I was – a half mile?…a mile?…I didn’t know.  I can happen fast.  Then, there’s that moment when you check your compass and low and behold you convince yourself that the compass is WRONG.  First BIG mistake.  You always have to believe your compass.  Now, wouldn’t it be a great idea to invest in a little hand held VHF marine radio that would fit nicely into your vest pocket and not even take up any room?  There ‘s a lot of hunters that are realizing that this is the way to go.  It would be a great resource and peace of mind for all hunters.  Be safe always.  Happy Boater.
