Why are you going to the woods?? Relax, enjoy nature, watch for a deer/squirrel?? Is your electronic life so damned important that you absolutely can't leave it for a few hours?? Then you're too important to be hunting, pay someone to do it for you!!
Yes, carry your "device" but keep it turned off unless you have an emergency and need it.. I put a client out of my boat 2 years ago for this very reason, he just couldn't stop texting (movement) and/or talking (noise) on his damned phone... Wise up,....

The fat doe leading 2 yearlings that I just passed up, along with the Pileated woodpecker that's jack hammering away 2 trees over both say "dude, chill out. Maybe switch to decaf?"

The guy I put out was a paying client that wanted a duck hunting experience and I was doing my best to make it happen for him. Ducks begin to circle, I'm calling and he suddenly reaches into his pocket for the phone!! Ducks gone... When it happened the second time I warned him but I'll be damned if he didn't do it again 10 minutes later. Party over..
I walked down to the other client I had along and told him I'd be back in 20 minutes while I took Mr. Motorola back to the ramp. By the time I got back he had killed 2 ducks all on his own. He was happy, Mr. Motorola wasn't...

It's difficult to play candy crush with a real bag of candy.
I take mine to stay in touch with my family and to send them pictures, especially of critters I don't plan to shoot, like this little fella.

I take it, but ringer goes off. I do not text, twit or post. Where I hunt you can't get signal anyway.
But, it has a camera and video and if I see a masterpiece of nature, I can capture it easily.

If I want to get away from it all, I'll go trout fishing. Sitting in a tree stand, I'll surf off and on. Keep it on for my wife or kids to get ahold of me. If someone texts I don't need to talk too fast, they wait till I'm out. I don't answer calls. I probably would take a nap but I don't have arm rests on my stand. I don't trust myself to sleep in it, harness or not.

That's me exactly. If I want to truly unplug, I grab the fly rod and find a rock in the middle of a river to sit on.
Phones do not work where I am. Cell phones just work at the house, but go out back and forget it. I consider it a bonus. Me & the phone have an understanding but we do not have an affair.
I don't even bother taking phones outside.
One day I suppose they'll make better reception for cell phones where I am, and then I'll be pissed.

Its like a book for me. Ill read forum posts, etc….then magically a deer will appear in my food plot. 
Keeps me still, and I can still hear anything.
