Essential Hunting Apps

[shootsblanks]

i give my wife a general area i will be going and leave my phone at home, notebook, map and a copy of the regs are the only things i bring that an app could do for me.
i get distracted by my phone too easily and it ruins my hunt.

ihunter is great for property lines (or so i hear) and landowner contact info. but i hunt on foot and know the land i am allowed to hunt before the season even starts, none of this driving past a field and calling the owner to ask if i can shoot a deer on the other side of it.

I carry my phone with me , I just leave it on silent and leave it in my pocketb unless I need it to take a picture, or contact my hunting partner who may be hunting with me but is 1/4 mike away .
As far as Ihunter goes , I don’t see what the big issue is with it .
It’s a good tool if used properly, as was stated, it’s not essential but helpful .
We use it in conjunction with our county maps and phone list .

Hey guys;

I realise this is de-railing from the main conversation (but I feel like it's somewhat on track? And I don't want to create a separate post for it). Where do you guys get your maps? I know esrd.alberta.ca, was listed as a way of finding map dealers (prior to Alberta's recreation of their website).

As I'm prepping for my first year of hunting, I'm trying to get an idea of what everyone uses/recommends using, and where to get it (for maps at least!).

Thanks!

I get mine from the county offices. Some I pick up in person, some I order in advance by mail.

Download the maps on ihunter. No paper. Always know where you stand. Pretty awesome

Btw love the paper maps too. I do miss the days of “backroads mapbooks”

I did end up downloading the iHunter app, however I was curious about whether or not it's worth my while to have paper backups (especially as outside of Edmonton I'm a no-data phone plan; yay Freedom Mobile!).

In regards to iHunter, I noticed once I downloaded the app and paid the cost of download, there was a iHunter Pro option (I'm currently on the trial); is this another $5.49 upgrade on top of the first $5.49 to download the app, or is this a glitch I should contact them about?
I have found the answer to this question. Somehow it evaded me before!

Thanks y'all;

New question that just came up for me; are the county maps available on iHunter the same as those maps available on certain county websites (i.e. the 2018-2019 Land Ownership Map available on Parkland County's website in PDF format)?

Just curious on this one, thanks.

I like the Discover Guide app, it shows you all the conservation sites and lets you know if you can hunt or fish on them.
