Here's a Good Idea

Got this on the Bassdozer newsletter today. Sounds like an easy enough safety tip.

LEAVE A PAPER TRAIL IN WINTER



Winter fishing requires you take more precautions. In

addition to any other precautions you may take, one practice

that provides peace of mind is to leave a "paper trail" as

to where you are going to fish. Keep a small yellow sticky

note pad in the glove compartment, and stick one sheet

inside the windshield whenever you launch the boat. Write

where you will be, what time you left and when you plan to

return. Something as simple as "In back of Cold Creek Bay,

11 AM back at 5PM," will do it. Even if you plan to stay

near by, post a note on the windshield. It can be just as

cold if you are unable to make it a short haul back, and a

search party could easily overlook you if they have no clue

where to begin.

Harpo...



What makes "YOU" think we'd go looking for you? LOL





Oh, stop crying... we'd look... a little...in every bar we could find!

Or you could just leave a trail of beer bottle caps and slim jim wrappers.

Note to Car Theives:

Harpo will be all the way in the back of Cold Creek Bay and won't be back until 5PM.....







Actually, Harpo, it's an excellent idea. A few years ago, right after my first heart attack and bypass, I was still doing a lot of hunting - mostly alone..... I always left a note on my car window asking that, if it were still sitting there after dark, would someone please come looking for me.



It wasn't quite a "note"..... I had printed it out on 8 1/2 x 11 paper from the computer and had it laminated. It read in big, red letters "If this car is still here after dark....." Then I also listed who to contact and my doctor's name and number.
