Is your wife tracking you?

Yep she does. She says it’s so she can come find me when I get stuck lol

Wifey has the iPhone tracking thing and I check in 3 or 4 times a day with the Garmin. She appreciates the waypoint included with the Garmin messages.

The pre-set messages with waypoint feature on the Garmin are super easy to use and greatly appreciated by my wife. I check in several times throughout the day and most importantly I send a message to let her know that I made it safely back to camp at the end of the day. If I don't check in, my wife would be calling the game Warden to request a check of my last known whereabouts. No such calls have been needed so far but she wont let me leave for a western hunt without the name and phone number of the Warden that covers the area that I plan to hunt. Thank you, LEOs, and hope to not bother you.

I started doing that years ago plus outfitters numbers. Not perfect but it does provide some reduction in anxiety. Hunting at home is bit different but at 76 I have certain places I hunt that I write down on wipe board exactly where I will be. My son and friends I hunt with know these spots. I do check in frequently via text. Sometimes you just have to be aware your wife worries more as you age. It's not a loss of freedom IMO, just being considerate of your wife and being self aware as you age happens. I added trekking poles several years ago to increase stability in woods etc that do help a lot and also helps wife in her thoughts.
