Amber alert will scare the hell out of every deer in the county.

[Huntindad]

as I was sitting in a tree stand, minding my own business watching the whitetail waitin on a turkey or axis.

All of a sudden the &@#%# amber alert started screaming from my phone.

Every deer in the county hauled butt before I could turn the dang thing off. it was on vibrate with the sound off.

So, I turned the phone back on and put it on "mute" same dang thing happened. Screw it. I went to camp and made breakfast.

I need to figure out how to turn off Amber alerts in the field.

this alert was from Waco...I was close to Kerrville.

Plan accordingly folks.

You can turn it off

[HubCityThumper]

Here you go

[wes]

settings, notifcations, go to the bottom. Amber alerts, Emergency Alerts and Public Safety Alerts. you can turn off/on from there.

[TxDispatcher]

And check it ever so often...because I turned mine off as soon as I activated my phone last year, and several months ago it went off and scared the bejeebies out of me I mute my phone and it only vibrates, except for alarms that I set. So it was an extra shock when the alert came through

Getcha one of these to silence your phone. Works great.......

I don’t know.I always kinda half paid attention to them especially when they were far away.But last summer I saw DPS make an arrest right in front of me on I 10 In Beaumont from a guy running from San Antonio with a kid.I started paying attention to them a little better ever since.

But worth it.

Sux to ruin a hunt but if the right person hears it, it could be a life saver.

[Bruiser]

fisrt thing i do is turn that stuff off

Agreed. If it was my kid, I’d be grateful for anyone paying attention. The alerts are bothersome, but when you stop to think about why they’re issued in the first place, it’s tragic.

Amber alert is pretty dramatic. I've had it go off in the middle of meetings and it can be quite funny.
