I want to inform anyone that is going to try for mule deer around Kamloops this season that you need to know how not to get lost. .

I'm going to tell you what to do so you don't end up in the local papers here in Kammy. . Hunter lost in the lonely hills of Mule Deer Lake. .
-- I have seen many mixed up individuals in the hills of the North Thompson. .
Jel -- stick with me and you will learn to be confident when trying to hunt a ridge from the vee hick cull.

=-ll----> I am going to ask you a simple question and see what pops up in your minds eyes.

1. What's the difference of being lost and being mixed up in the bush?

Jel -- in the bush your lost or mixed up, what's the difference?

Is this a thread open to suggestions on how to stay "found" rather than getting lost?

[Jelvis]

If you don't know where you are, you are lost. If your mixed up, then you are not sure where you you are. If you are completely out of it you don't care where you are.

Same could be said for parts around Merrit as well...thankfully gps helps.....but carry spare batteries.

If your hunting from a vehicle that your buddy parked at a spot say up by McQueen area and beyond for mules.
-- Your spot to go and return to is the spot where the truck is parked.
-- So if that is the spot, what's next so you know how to get back later?
Jel -- what are you thinking when leaving the truck to go up a ridge about how will I know my way back later?

I thought I was lost once. I was mistaken, clearly just mixed up.

Also good to have a compass, know how to use it, and when you depart from your vehicle or camp, pay attention to your surroundings, and know the direction your going, pay attention to any change in direction your doing, and having a map or knowledge of the area your in, such as roads, ridges, mountains etc is always good...knowing other navigation techniques such as the solar watch method is always fun and helpful as well..

Lost is so negative.. I prefer to look at it that sometimes I find a different way to walk back out.

Jel my F150 4x4 pick up truck has a compass right on the dash board lots of new trucks have compasses I hope you'll touch on this for road hunting safety.
