Nothing can make you jump any faster than hearing your cell phone ring while you're on a deer stand waiting to see a buck.
Anyone ever gone so far as to load wildlife ring tones on your phone so that if you forget to silence your phone it's not as obvious? Lots of authentic ring tones available no doubt.

I thought the same about the Snuggie until I read the inventor has grossed over $500 million.

Ok. How long till someone comes on here and gets mad because doing that will violate some kind of TPWD law. You’re duck hunting. Your phone rings with the duck sound, GW hears it and let the crazy debate begin.....

I downloaded a number of calls on my phone that I run through a bluetooth speaker for predator hunting. My wife's ringtone is now a woodpecker, my daughter is a mouse, my mother is a snow goose, and my boss is a squeeling pig. All unknown calls comes through as a crows.
Works great.

I was thinking more towards a way to avoid spooking deer that happen to be nearby when you forgot to silence your phone.
Could be wrong but not sure a deer would pay attention to the sound of a mourning dove.

10 years ago, with an iphone that i just put to the duck ring tone, in the duck blind with a buddy.
The phone starts quacking and we are looking around like mad looking for the duck.
We still laugh about it.

There may come a time when you can't remember what you had for breakfast.

But you do clearly remember throwing your US Flag in the trash and posting about it.. Right??
Just put it on silent. If you can remember where your phone is, you can remember to take back off silent when you are done hunting.

If that's the case you have no business being in a blind, in the field, or anywhere with a firearm.

On second thought, if I were to change my ringtone during deer season, I would likely forget and start looking for the dove every time someone calls me.

A few weeks ago I was halfway under a crawl space watching the snake removal guys when one of their phones up above us went off with the rattlesnake ringtone.

That's actually an interesting point since it's illegal to use electronic calls for migratory birds. Makes you wonder how it would be interpreted by some GW's.

Problem with silencing your phone is walking in before/after dark and it drops out of your pocket ... can't get someone later to call to locate it ...
I had my personal phone on silent, and when getting out of the stand, it got knocked off the chair to the back corner in the dark. I like to never found it calling it from my company cell phone. I knew I had it in the stand.
I no longer silence it but do turn the volume way down

Mine has been a squealing pig for years....always gets looks, stares, or laughs....ive shared it with lots of folks over the years who heard it and wanted it.

I have a lot more bass resonance in my flatulations. "Squirts" are for girls.

Nothing worst than a ringtone with an animal noise or a really crappy country song

Going to show my age, many years ago I dropped my pager walking to my truck from my bow stand in the dark and had it on vibrate. Started walking back to the stand stopping every few yards and calling it. Thankfully it landed with the red blinking light facing up so it was not to hard to find.

Sounds familiar.
I did have my text alert as a rattlesnake until it started getting me in the woods hunting hogs etc...it doesn't matter if you know you have it when you are slipping around still hunting and it buzzes.

Use a loud (volume amped up) gobbler for my ring tone. When it goes off I know it. Nobody else has it and for some reason I can hear that sound a lot better than others. Must be a frequency hearing loss thing.
It does get a lot of looks. Even had a stoner convinced there was a gobbler at the park.
