beachpeaz Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Does anyone have a good app the would recommend for tracking more specific hunting conditions than just the general weather (IE: wind direction, sunrise, sunset, moon phase, etc, etc.)?

rotorooter23 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 ScoutLook is an app I just downloaded. It is awesome! It was a free app so I was skeptical at first but it has some really good features that I will look to use and think will come in handy. It has a GPS map where you can mark your stands on your property. From those points you can get a feature called scent cone and it will show you which direction the wind is blowing on the map. It also has the barometric pressure, weather, moon phases and you can document the deer you see through deer log and it will let you know the conditions of that time. It's really neat, takes a little to get use to but once you have it your fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachpeaz Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 wow, ScoutLook has HORRIBLE reviews...lol. Only 1 person had something good to say. Before I chose one, any other opinions out there? Someone in the reviews mentioned Trimble? anybody use that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfdeputy2 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I use scoutlook too it is OK but it is free so if you don't like it just delete the app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88GW Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I use viewranger app. It allows me to record tracks easily, set up POI's(points of interest) I usually plot stands rubs etc. More of a GPS app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kujo48 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I use scoutlook for specific weather and Trimble GPS hunt for everything else.. It's a great app for mapping and tracking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachpeaz Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I bit the bullet and paid the $4.99 for Kimble. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a really, really detailed and usefull app. the one thing I cared about the most, it does not seem to do though, is monitor wind direction. I am not sure how they forgot that key piece. It will only tell you the current weather and wind. It will not tell you the forecast for the future to help at least plan out a little. I might do like you just said and put the scoutlook app on also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I really wanted an app for tracking, so I could back-track and get out of of thickets and unfamiliar areas easily, or get back to a previously found deer and easier/shorter way for dragging. I downloaded (but haven't tried yet) onXHunt, Hunt Stand Lite, Trimble GPS Hunt, and Backpacker GPS. Again, I haven't tried any yet, but they looked like they might do what I'm looking for. I'll have to test them out at camp soon. I also have ScoutLook, for wind direction vs. stand location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 i like antler insanities app. I think the cabelas app will actually allow you to plot a path to the stand but last i checked it was $5. I suggest you use caution with the GPS map apps. Kill your battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewlodar Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The Cabela's app got bought by Trimble GPS. There is a free and $5 version. The benefit to the paid app is more features for hunting out west, ie map features. The Trimble app is nice. Track all aspects of your hunt. You can go back through you previous hunts and get direction to precious locations. I used it a couple times last year and liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
