Looking to see what phone apps people are using to help them along in the field. I personally only use iHunter. Seems like the equivalent app of choice in the States is onX. Haven't had much luck with onX here in the Great White North though. Any other apps out there that are useful? |
Pair of boots, knife and a compass. When an app becomes essential to this game I'm going to quit.

I have iHunter but carry the paper regs in pack I agree with above post lol

UP YOUR GAME ihunter

I agree with the use of Ihunter.
Two other apps that I use are the Phoneskope app for taking photos while scouting. I also use Garmin's earthmate app alongside my Inreach. Great for tracking and marking areas to easily navigate back to! |

Lol. Only a pair of boots a knife and a compass?... does this mean your hunting elk with the knife or are you throwing boots at it? The GPS features on ihunter are great but I also use it to reference topology maps and regulations. |
Google earth, while not essential, can save hundreds of hrs/kms of scouting. Revolutionary really.
|
I love using Google earth. especially with the WMU map pack loaded. Not essential but dam handy

The only thing I use I hunter for is to check land owner fields to know exactly who owns what and where I am .
I din’t Use it much however as mist of my hunting is on crown land That and actually speaking with the land owners works very well . Cat |

I understand where you are coming from. The idea of needing or using a piece of technology to hunt is a bit sickening and takes away from the idea of the rugged manly hunting experience. BUT, its also super useful. I see ihunter as a centralized location that houses all the documentation/information you need for a hunt (land ownership info, regulations, topology maps, crown land locations, boundary information etc..). Plus, as that information changes year after year, it also gets updated on the app. Not looking to argue, just saying |

I also really like iHunter.
I like it for WMU boundries and park boundries. Pretty handy. |

True, I used the word "essential" in the title of the original post. Probably not the best word for what I was trying to get feedback on which was, in the original post's body, "Looking to see what phone apps people are using to help them along in the field". |
Ihunter is very valuable and is the best hunting app we have so far. I cant imagine any reason why you would not want that app when your in the field or planning a hunt.

When I get to camp in big game season, often I'm hunting solo, so I text my wife and my buddies the location of camp. It sends them an email with gps coordinates. If something happens or no one has heard from me, it's an easy way to forward accurate info to authorities if needed. If nothing else it's decent peace of mind for the wife when this old dude goes hunting by himself. |
When I am curled up in my bivy bag and it is cold, dark and 7pm; I find the Netflix app extremely useful.

However your incorrrect an app could make it very easy to find them. We do a lot of preseason scouting using apps such as google earth and cross referencing it to WMU and landowner maps. That app comes in very handy when we are in the field and want to see if we can find somewhere we may want to hunt elsewhere. It’s like a GPS that’s much more user friendly and has more features. |
