tjhunt2 Report post Posted May 8, 2007 If you guys buy and carry a small digital recorder in your pocket, you'll save lots of paper and gather many more details of your hunts. It's also great for recording details of a scouting trip, especially if you use the recorder along with a GPS unit. -TONY That's an excellent idea. I have a hard time practicing what I preach. I think I could easier talk in a recorder than take the time to write it down and then transfer it over later into a field log/diary. Any suggestions on a not so expensive but good one to use for the field? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted May 8, 2007 Well the good thing with digital is that you can record an awful lot of stuff on a very small item. I have a cheap ( I think like $20) one I bought from an office supply store that works great. I can record up to two hours of straight talking. I use to use it for our club meetings when I first became the secretary and couldn't keep up when they were having a debate. That would also be cool to have so you could record the elk talking around you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted May 9, 2007 Hey bass, thanks for sharing that with me. I don't know why I never thought of this before. I'm going to follow up on this one for sure. You can buy a digital recorder from about $30 on up to $500! I use an Olympus WS-310 that cost me about $100. It will record up to 138 hrs. Do a Google search and also check out eBay and Amazon.com. Prior to going digital, I used a mini-cassette recorder for years. A recorder makes keeping notes on the details of a hunt or a photo expedition a snap, which is crucial to what I do. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
