Thread: iPad and hunting gone bad

Today I bought The best iPad with waterproff case for my deer hunting . Happy man. Fired it up in my tent. Top news was new insanly good ipad to be shipped in 2 weeks. So angry now that I ordered the new one!!!

I don't want to be a deer tommorow;-D

I go sit in my stand to get away from the modern world so I wouldn't worry about your plight.

I am sure the one you have will work well. I personally hate change for the sake of change. Most of this new stuff gives you no more added value. It is just new and it will be out of date in 6 months or less.

Can't agree. For me life is mixing old and new. I hunt with a bow, have a wooden boat, shave with a knife. And all of it are with hightech as a bonus

A bow , wooden boat, and shaving with a knife are old technology but still useful. your new Ipad will be old in 2 weeks and useless in less than a year.

Wow, I don't mind modern high tech, obviously as I sit at home typing this on my PC. I don't understand the need to be constantly connected to the web everywhere I go though. Heck we go on holidays for 3 or 4 weeks and never take anything but a camera maybe. My cell phone is just that a phone and no net connection. Each to their own though.

This is funny. I just came back from a 5 day trip to the woods. I took along my Ipod with movies and I never turned it on. The campfire, coffee and talk was way more rewarding then any of the music or movies could have ever given me... I found it nice to be unpluged.

My computer/keyboard must have gotten mad at me with the last post here. I got up this morning and the keyboard wouldn't connect. I went to buy a new one at Office Depot. I wasn't looking for the best deal but convenience and I am not one to drive 20 miles to save $5.

They only had one keyboard that was direct wired! OMG why do I want to have to worry about batteries and why would I even think about the ability to sit 33 feet from my screen?????

I am not a technophobe but see no advantage to me.

I use it for the maps, free topomaps and music are great still no meat:-/

Also called the store and when I am back I get a full refund!

You might want to take a look at this audio.

I think people can experience too many simultainously imputs for too long - and it can strain us.

I saw a colledge kid visiting my home doing homework, with internet-chat on, with movie playing on apple-phone-thing, the tv was on in my living room, and my kids were talking with this person - at the same time. That would frazze my nerves.

Seems to me that is a prescription for burn out. Maybe that is just me....:-(
