A hunting journal app built for serious hunters. Record hunt results, track game sightings, map stand history, and turn hunting conditions into season insights, on or off the grid.
Record every hunt, sighting, harvest, and scouting detail in one place. Entries, waypoints, and photos are stored locally on your device, so the journal works with no signal and your data stays yours.
Log individual game sightings with sex, count, and timestamps. Keep harvest records by male/female. 25+ waypoint types for stands, scrapes, rubs, and bedding build your scouting observations over time.
Discover patterns from your hunts, sightings, locations, and conditions over time. Season insights, weather correlations, time-of-day animal movement, and hunt results, all computed locally on your device.
Automatically capture wind, weather, moon phase, and conditions that influence game activity. NWS-powered Overview, an Insights tab with a prevailing wind rose and 2-week to 6-month trend charts, and a Hunt Score subpage rating each hour from real weather and time of year.
Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase, and illumination data. See how lunar cycles line up with your recorded deer activity and sightings.
Map stands, sightings, sign, and important hunting locations alongside your journal entries. Mapbox-powered 2D and 3D Topo and Satellite styles, contour lines, live scale and elevation readout, and downloadable offline maps for no-signal country.
Draw and edit lines and areas right on the map with live distance and acreage as you go. Tap any drawn line to see its elevation profile, powered by Mapbox terrain data.
See property lines and public-access overlays with landowner labels, acreage, and a tap-for-weather parcel sheet. Classification is informational; always verify local hunting regulations.
Reveal subtle terrain, drainages, and benches with a high-resolution LiDAR/hillshade relief layer (USGS 3DEP, Premium), and toggle topographic contour lines on any topo basemap.
Bring in tracks and boundaries from other apps, or share yours out, in every common GPS format: GPX, KML, KMZ, and GeoJSON.
Switch to fishNotes mode to log fishing sessions, track catches by species with length, weight, and bait, and drop fishing-specific waypoints. Fishing analytics now include a species filter.
Monitor USGS and NOAA river gauges with real-time flow, stage, and water temperature. Set home rivers, define ideal flow ranges, and view color-coded conditions.

“This is one of the best hunting apps I've used. I especially appreciate the GPS tracking and offline map features, which are invaluable when hunting in areas with limited cell service. The weather forecasts, wind direction tools, and waypoint markers help me plan my hunts more effectively and stay organized in the field.”
“What I've been looking for. Something to keep track of my hunts and be able to log the weather, bar, etc. on days that I've seen action. Gonna be great for this year's deer season. Used it for keeping track of birds this year during turkey season. Great app!”

What huntNotes does, how hunters use it, and what it costs.
huntNotes is a digital hunting journal app for iOS and Android. It lets hunters record hunts, log game sightings and harvest records, map stands and sign, capture hunting conditions automatically, and analyze patterns across seasons. Your journal is stored locally on your device and works fully offline.
A hunting journal app replaces the paper logbook. It records each hunt with the date, location, stand, weapon, and species, captures the wind, weather, and moon phase at the time of the sit, and stores your game sightings and harvest records so you can review animal movement and hunt results season after season.
Record every hunt, not just the successful ones. huntNotes logs sits with zero sightings alongside your harvests, then compares stand history, wind direction, temperature, moon phase, and time of day against your hunt results. Over a few seasons that shows you which locations and hunting conditions actually produce.
