If you have a bit of trouble organising a group hunt and getting everyone on the same page, Easyhunt might be the solution. Designed for smartphones, the app enables you to invite hunter friends to the hunt, create hunting maps online and use them on your mobile phone and even plan the season’s hunts on a calendar.
The app was founded in Sweden in 2009 and is now also available in English with an online service available to Australian hunters.
Basically you can select an area to hunt and create a map with key features and locations included on it that you can then share with your hunting buddies. You can send out invitations the gather statistics on harvested game, upload pictures and documents and communicate via a forum. The password-based security limits the information and maps only to those who are invited.
Before the hunt
Use the online calendar to plan the season’s hunts. Invite other hunters via e-mail or SMS and keep track of who is attending a particular hunt. The service also allows you to create maps of the hunting grounds and set stands, symbols and borders. The maps can then uploaded to a mobile phone and seen on the app, printed out or ordered in the tough, weatherproof material Tyvek.
During the hunt
Everyone on a hunting team can download Easyhunt for Android or iPhone free of charge and use the hunting maps to their own and other hunters’ positions in real time. This makes navigation a lot easier and seeing where everyone is in real time also increases safety.
After the hunt
Use the hunting report function to create statistics over spotted and harvested game. The service also offers a photo album, document archive, forum and other useful tools that make hunting easier.
The basic service is free and gives you access to the calendar, hunting reports, forum and journal, although if you hae a group of up to 10 hunters, a $33 annual subscription will give you all the service’s map functions.
