Similar to Daryl's story...hunting deer in the Black Hills of South Dakota where I was born and raised and have hunted all my life.
Left the pickup a few miles south of Rockerville and started out in a heavy snow to make a big circle back to the truck. A little before noon thought I should be getting back close to where I had started from and soon recognized the little hill my truck should be parked below.
I hope to never have that sinking feeling in the stomach again when I topped the hill and saw the town of Rockerville directly below. The 3-mile walk back down the road to my truck gave time for reflection on hunting in conditions where snow blocks the sun and other landmarks even in territory you know.
