dont feel to bad, I got lost in a five acre parcel in the middle of a 100 acre corn feild, Ya I was in a blizard where I couldnt see 20 feet in front of my face,
no doubt, it is humbling... It is suprizing how one can get lost once turned around or a well known tract of land has changed it topography.
I recently visited a peice of woods I spent hundreds of hours in my early deer hunting years, none of the trails looked the same, nearly all the trees had changed in aperance.
if you were to sit me there in the dark I would be plumb lost. In the day light I scarcely reconized the place.
next time use the light from the cell phone to light the compas [:p]. I take mine along, but I turn it off while hunting. Not that I plan on ever shooting my self in the foot, one just never knows when smokey the bear says you better get out of here..[laugh]
