[QUOTE="overboard, post: 455003, member: 6547"] True story here Jim! I was up at Long Pond Pa near the Pocono raceway, I knew I had to go to the corner of a field and then go NW to get through a corridor of a swamp that broke into an opening with high ground on the other side of it. It was dark and I crossed a small spring like I should and then shortly afterward I crossed more water that was never there before, but it had rained pretty hard and didn't think too much of it. Pretty soon I came to the field where I had started from, WTH I followed the compass NW and there's no way I should be back at that field!!! #-o I was hunting with a flintlock and it seems that the way I was carrying the flintlock affected the compass, never had that happen with a regular rifle, SO, went back to the corner of the field and started over, this time I kept the flintlock well away from the compass and ended up exactly where I wanted to be on the other side of the swamp. S*** happens! :lol: [/QUOTE]
