None. About 7 years ago, I got busted by some hens and a jake when I was texting with a few buddies who were also turkey hunting.  One was on his own property 3 counties away, one was in Kentucky, and one was in Georgia.  I looked up from the screen and had 4 pairs of eyes on me.  They scrambled off putting and I quit texting when I was hunting.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Never. I wouldn't think of pulling my phone out when working on a gobbler. That's asking for it, besides your supposed to be paying attention. Best solution is leave phone in your vehicle.

Nope.....naps have saved a few

Once. I was reading some pithy and profound comment from LaLongbeard. Mesmerized, I looked up from the screen and got busted. Evened the score that afternoon...

At least you got busted doing something worth while. I sometime read your post while I'm on the toilet...reminds me why I'm there.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

I probably would have, but most of my spots have bad cell service....... :turkey2:

0, none, nada. Phone stays muted and out of mind. I seldom use it at all where I hunt because of spotty service anyhow.

Not due to being on Old Gobbler but several years ago I was able to hunt most mornings. I had to make sure my son was up in time to catch the bus so I'd been texting and calling him for about 20 minutes with no luck on a reply. I had 2 gobblers about 75 yards away and slowly but surely strutting toward me. Safety was off and barrel was in the vicinity of where the gobblers were when my phone which was in my shirt pocket started vibrating, reflex jerk! Shotgun fired! Gobblers flew!

Not yet, and I killed a bird last year late in the day while I was listening to Joe Rogans podcast, I started listening to it on a drive to another property and just got too into it.  Luckily it didn't cost me that bird!

And i had it on speaker, no head phones.

Never messed up due to being logged into the internet but my wife has unreal timing abilities with texting.
Ain't that the truth!!!!
