So where do you guys keep your phone while you hunt? If it's cold out, and it's in my pocket in side my coat, it collects moisture.
If I am using ONX it would be nice to have it more available than in my pocket at times.
The ideal place would be on my sleeve out side. But not sure if anyone makes that. So if any of you DIY guys wanna a project. Let me know.

I’m usually keeping it in my chest pocket, but I bought the Pnuma Waypoint system for this year and there is a pocket in both upper arms.

Maybe keep a microfiber in the chest pocket with your phone?

Probably the same where you are at, but my iPhone will die quick if not kept near my body heat in WI’s cold season.

Kept it in my dump pouch when I used one. Now it’s just in my shirt pocket or pants cargo pocket

Late season I put it in the zipper pouch of my hand warmer muff pouch. Early season it sits in a pocket half zipped in my pack.

Walking in, whatever pocket is less moist (jacket etc). On stand, I always have it on me (not moving so less sweat) and I want it on me if something happens and not in my pack where I might not be able to get to it.

The phone collecting moisture is usually on the body side for me. Turn the phone where the screen faces away from your body and it seems to help minimize that for me.

I keep it in my chest pocket for easy access or my pant leg pocket when on the move, the cold doesn't become an issue too often down in Texas. However, I like the pant leg pocket because sweat can be a real issue when hiking into a stand location in 95 degree weather.

I usually keep mine in the chest pocket of my bibs. It’s been a long time since I made it out when it is too warm for bibs, but in everyday life I keep it in the leg pocket on carpenter jeans, or in one of the pouches of cargos.

I keep mine in a ziplock bag in a pouch on the chest of my vest. Once up in the tree I'll move it to a pouch on my saddle so It will ride down with me if I fall. Between sudden rains and falling in water I've lost 5 phones to water while hunting

You need to run a go pro so we can catch you falling in water. The more I hear you guys talk, the more I’m thankful my hunting is not in FL, haha. But a tip of the cap to you wildlings.

My jacket has a chest pocket, and that's where it goes so I can get it with little movement.. But, I also get the moisture issue there. I'd put it somewhere else, but then I'd have to commune with nature? I think not.

I put it in a cargo pant pocket or jacket pocket. Occasionally I set it in my backpack, but I try to keep it directly on me in case I were to find myself in some sort of trouble. If that happens, then I just hope I have service!

I picked up a whereditgo from CGM so I'm going to run that this year at least through October and early November. As it gets colder I'll probably stuff it in my hand warmer muff or my jacket side pocket. I could probably keep it in the whereditgo if I hang it in my pack while at hunting height.
