Ha!! Well to each his own. I read somewhere that couple starts to look alike after they have been married for a long time. I will pray for Mrs. BilletHead. I like your picture at the end of your reply. Clean cut. There you are again.

               Yes I second and third so on and so on like this thread,

    We have loved ones who are concerned about us. Like some that have responded here I go out alone. Tell Mrs. BilletHead where I am going and ETA coming back. If I move locations I let her know also. I have spotty service in some places and when I get out of some holes I have a series of texts and voice mails to go through like how are things going, are you OK and on and on. This is what I call true love fellows. I am not hen pecked I am lucky and I know it. She teases me she needs to know where to find my carcass for proof of death .  She asks me to wear my PFD especially while running. Trouble can come fast and in the blink of an eye. I tend to not be so stable on my feet anymore but act like I am.

                Bkbying89,

  I share this with you backing up my thoughts on the bald headed woman. You see 12 years ago we had a reset in out life and the bald head was a result of this situation . I thank you for the post as it got me to looking for this photo. I realize how lucky and blessed I am, 

     Her hair is back but mine is still kept shaved off. I was this way before she was temporary and I tease her she just wanted to see what it was like to have the perfect head. I think she rocked it better and I have the Klingon ridge going on. Thanks bkbying89. I need to revisit this picture more often. I thank my lucky stars daily for what I have,

I will let my Betterhalf know where I will be hunting or fishing "most" of the time. On hunting trips it is all the time and only about 80% of my fishing trips. As Wrench mentioned, my Betterhalf may have never been fishing these spots with me. Since I wade fish most of the time, if they know the access should be able to find me with two people.

My wife also tracks me with the phone gps and no, it’s not like a stalker kind of thing.  It is in case of an emergency or a situation like this thread discusses.  It has come in handy more than once!  I was navigating through the woods by google maps to get to a turkey hunting spot last spring in the early dark hours of the morning and happened to drop my phone by accident in between spot location checks.  I walked around for hours looking for it with no luck. Went home and borrowed the wife’s phone.  Pulled up the app and walked right up to it.  Hope that is the worst situation we ever have to use it for.

The phone locating app is very good as long as everyone has it turned on and proper permissions set...

Yeah, it’s kinda like remembering to bring the keys for the boat on a fishing trip, or even putting the plug in before launching.  They only work good if u remember to install  them correctly.

Thanks to this thread I was keeping sharp yesterday.  We ran boat to shore to take a leak.  After that was done, 2 of the group decides to explore a hillside cut along the railway tracks along the river.  I looked back over the shoulder and notice the wind had drifted the boat loose.  I hopped onboard and anchored it again, the other 2 oblivious to what had just happened. 

I was also the only one wearing waders yesterday when we hit a shallow riffle and had to push the boat off.  It would have been a cold day for one of us if I did not think ahead and wear waders.

           Pretty neat Duane,

   Does it work where there is no phone signal at all for calling? I once lost my old phone in a large corn field that had been cut. I spent a long time looking before i went to town and got the Mrs. phone. Went back to the field and started calling myself. Finally heard it ringing. That is about how hi tec the BilletHead is ,

Your phone service provider can tell you exactly where you phone is, only takes them about 20 seconds and they do it for law enforcement all the time.   I'm sure they don't want to be bothered by people who have simply misplaced their phones, but if you have a legitimate reason and ask them, and they say they can't then I'd dump them like a hot potato.

It’s gps based so it does work as long as a satellite or two can be linked. No phone service where I hunt and she can pretty much see which tree I’m in.
