I'm 45 and yes I do. Like another poster, I used to use radios. Now it's easy to stay in touch with my hunting buddies -- often on the other side of the state -- and see what's going on with them, while remaining stealthy. I regularly get "are you seeing anything?" from my wife, as well. It's a good way to keep the lines of communication open.

I usually keep the phone on 'silent' and if I need some peace and tranquility, or the deer are nearby, I just don't look at it.

I also read the news, or this forum, or other websites. Normally though, I just like to watch what's going on around me.
