About 10 years ago for Christmas my wife bought me a Garmin E-Trex Legend GPS. She was concerned because 99% of my hunting is done alone and in the mountains between 9500 & 11,000 feet.
I used the GPS every time I was out...cool info and I was able to mark hunting areas and spots where I found game. One time I used it to re-locate decoys and gear while turkey hunting a new area....I got busy following a Tom and lost my way back to my original set....hit "Back Track" and the GPS took me to my gear and to the truck.
Last Spring, I had it and other gear in my 4Runner and a group of kids went through the neighborhood and broke into about a dozen vehicles...all SUV/trucks and took what they wanted. They got 2 sets of binos and a spotting scope and my GPS and my CDs and.....The police recovered some of the items from the spree, but none of my stuff. they caught 2 of the kids but nothing else came of the investigation.
So now, after hunting a season without the GPS, I want to get another one....technology is better and new...and my wife is all about getting me one for Christmas...but there are many options.
Do you use one and what do you like?
