Was out ruffed grouse (pat) hunting, checked my compass to get my bearings, turned to call the dog in and noticed the needle wasn't moving. Double checked, oh oh. Fortunately the sun was out and I knew roughly where the truck was so got out okay. First time I've had a compass stop pointing north on me
Have several compasses at home but I'm not headed back that way. Picked up a cheap thing (hope it works) and I'll bring my portable gps with just in case.
