    I'm thinking about getting a new phone. Which one do you guys think is the best phone to use while bowhunting? I can't decide. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Make sure you get a camo case for it, if not the deer will see it. I heard there's some really cool ones they say bone collector on them, or brotherhood

    They all work pretty well. Visit your local phone store and test them all before deciding which is right for you.

    Just make sure you get an extra battery pack so you can run it for extended amounts of time.

    Go to a few shops and test a bunch of them. You are going to get all sorts of fanboys suggestions or prostaff suggestions about which is the best but go try as many as you can get your hands on. Stand in the store and try important bowhunting stuff like texting and game play and if it takes proper bowhunting selfies. Does it allow for pics that increase rack size? Does the video get blurry during fist pumps or while pointing at at sky and thanking Jesus? Does the audio get crackly when shouting "Whoop!" or "I smoked him!" or "Big Buck Down!" or "Booyah"

    Lots of things to consider when selecting which bowhunting phone is right for you.

    I have an IPhone 6 that fits perfect in the glove box of my truck. Hunting is one of those times I connect with nature rather than tied to a phone.

    Can't tell if this a real question or not, I would suggest one that takes good pictures, and is waterproof.

    If you can get this in camo, it could double as a blind!

    Your need to research and go and use every single phone in the the phone store. I am serious, spend the whole week there trying them all. You never know which one will choose you. For example I was sure I wanted a iPhone 6s but after using all the phone the Samsung Galaxy 97 just felt so much better to me !!

    Yeah the back wall when you punch a key is so much firmer on the galaxy.
