Huntstand app comes in a mobile app as well as a web interface. It can be installed on Android as well as Apple iOS. This app can be helpful for anyone hiking and spending a night in the forest. Huntstand helps hunters save important landmarks and deer trails on hunting property.
How To Use Huntstand App
You have to create an area or property you are hunting on. It creates a map of the area. The map or area you choose is now at focus. You can look at water sources, trails, roads, fences and similar features marked on the map.
Trace Feature
Trails are saved on a map using the trace feature. For land owners, a big chunk of land can be traced using a four wheeler. Moreover, you can add other symbols that indicate what the area holds. Similarly, you can also indicate where game cameras (trail cameras) are installed on the property and add labels on the map.
If you find an unknown trail or new route in the woods, you will be lucky as it will tell you whether you are on the already traced trail and will store information for you. Another vital feature is harvest, which is marked for areas that have deer. These are good spots. You should be able to read deeer trails before using huntstand app.
Foraging is crucial for quickly marking essential spots on the property. You will not only get familiar with edible sources in the area but also know how this will affect the path of deer when hunting season arrives.
Friend Finder Feature
Another important thing this app is excellent for is showing you your live location, just like Google Maps.
To find where your hunting partner is, it shows you where another person is. It should be turned on in the app and will keep showing the live location(like WhatsApp) and keep you updated. It is not 100% correct, but it gives the approximate last location.
Custom Mapping Using Symbols & Notes
Sometimes, hunters place feeders across the property. They need to be marked, which is very easy using the Hunt Stand app. You can mark anywhere and add labels and notes to see for the future. Similarly, you can delete this later when the landmark is no longer there.
Wind & Weather Updates Feature
The wind option is another critical thing that makes the Hunt Stand app essential for landowners. It shows which zone is good for you and will indicate its changes. Wind impact deer behaviour and can carry your scent to the deer as well. You should understand deer movement in the wind too.
The weather function is not limited to wind only. It has a temperature change chart for the whole day. It also tells you when the sun will rise and the sunset for your location.
Battery Issues While Using The App & Solution
The tracing takes a lot of battery. If you are using it on a significant route and going to take a long time, take a power bank along with you.
Peak Game Time Feature
Another feature I loved is that it shows peak game time. For example, it showed 2 hours before dawn as peak time and 2 hours before sunset. This will help you go out quickly to catch some big bucks.
Summary
It has excellent features like mapping, trails, cameras, feeds, and game signs. For large property owners, the friend feature is the best. The wind and weather forecast feature will help you avoid trouble in the woods. Lastly, one app that helps you this much is excellent. Regular updates add to its necessity and ease of hunting, and it will improve over time.
