Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What Hunting/Shooting Apps do you use?

If I have a signal, I'll look at the weatherchannel app for hourly updates on wind direction. I'll also use the compass app sometimes instead of fishing my compass out of my backpack. I have 3 cell cameras I get photos from, which are fun at times. Again, these things are only worth looking at in a few locations that offer decent signal.

Big piles of corn when I damage stamp hunting...

Otherwise, just the basics... rifle, binoculars, knife, length of rope and 6 pack of PBR.

Those are beautiful!

Just missed what coulda been the World Record Whitetail. Was looking at my apps, heard a rustle, looked up, and while my eyes were going uncrossed, he was gone. Something similar happened in 1965 when I leaned my Model 94 on a tree and dropped trou for a dump. Boone and Crockett muley bounded away, and the 94 was just out of reach.

I look at zoom earth for sat veiws.

About it....

I'll admit to using Google Earth to spot a likely looking elk spot way up on the side of a mountain, then entering the GPS numbers into my Garmin Trex, and using that to direct me to the otherwise hidden location. Worked great the first time! I called it my Super-Secret Honeyhole, and took my best elk with a muzzleloader. 5 years later (time it took to re-draw the unit) I went back and found game cams and treestands all around.

I paid for Back country navigator years ago. One time fee of 9.99 and use it around home where I hunt for waypoints and gps (no cell data needed). Have OnX but haven't paid this year, did last year when hunting out west. Would have been hard to hunt out there without it.
