Compass Mode for Western Big Game

Use case examples to help you get the most out of your Compass Mode.

Execute confident stalks.

You see an antelope two ridges over. There’s a network of draws that’ll get you to the perfect spot. Once you drop in, you’ll remember which knob the buck was on, right?

It’s amazing how different the landscape looks once you’re on the move.

Before your next stalk, use your physical rangefinder to range the animal; then, use Compass Mode’s built-in Rangefinder to drop a Waypoint exactly where the animal is.

Now, when you begin your stalk (and, likely, lose sight of the animal as you navigate undulating terrain), you have Compass Mode and your dropped Waypoint to confirm you’re taking the optimal path toward where you last saw your target.

Mark downed game.

Big game often comes with big country. When shot distances are measured in the hundreds of yards and the terrain is complex, you need to have a solid awareness of where you dropped an animal so you can get to breaking it down ASAP.

Use Compass Mode to drop a pin exactly where the animal stood when you shot. If it dropped immediately, you now have a Waypoint you can walk right up to. If it ran, you now know where to start blood tracking. 

Pinpoint bugles.

You hear a bull bugle in the distance. Kick on Compass Mode, point your phone in the direction you heard the bull, and use the built-in Rangefinder to estimate the distance. Drop a Waypoint so you can plan your next move with more confidence, whether you’re stalking in or setting up to call.
