I take my phone with me mostly for emergencies. We are a long way from anything important. We have limited signal for talking but I can text from both properties. If my son goes hunting we usually hunt different tracts about a mile apart. He can text me to let me know whats going on around him and if he gets one. I have killed several deer while we were texting. I had to put down my phone and fire a shot, so I kind of look at it like good luck charm. If I told him that he would probably quit doing it.
