When I really get busy hunting many days in a row (seems to happen more often while turkey hunting) I will use my Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (Model VN-4100PC) which is small pocket size. After the hunt when I jump into my truck to drive home I start talking about the hunt and recording myself. I usually don't have a short drive home so it works great. This unit comes with a usb cord and then I just load the wave file onto my laptop. Then I dont have to write a log when I get home. But I usually prefer to write a log.
Also, if I'm hunting with other family members or friends and we text via phone back and forth (ie "just had a small buck come by from the north") these texts have time and date stamps. So when you get back home and try to remember "what time was that" its time stamped. Works great.
Man this is just what I need. My crazy movements caused by my Chronic Lyme. Makes my chicken scratchings even more undescernable!!! What's a unit cost and where do you find them?
stash....Ive seen them on Amazon for about $ 80 used. Brand new can be pricey ( $200 + ). Maybe check craigslist, ebay, etc.. The unit I have is at least 5 years old. My wife got it to record meetings where she works..
My android has a voice recorder right on it. You can rename the audio files. Most smart phones would have something like that.
