Now is a great time to research App’s for Hunting and Fishing and Outdoors. I have been playing with a free App called HuntWise which has GPS, Maps and Hunt Times for my IPhone. Of course you need a signal for it to work when you are in the field. But at home you can literally go any where and see topographic info, if in the woods you can track yourself to your stand by recording a walking path, mark a spot, check distances make notes. I used it to do hunt map research in Canada and it works great.

Here at home in the USA it documents the boundaries of land and ownership, acreage and address of the owner if you choose the overlay which has Land for Sale, Land Contours, Land Owner Lines and an overlay for Land Owner Names.

There are other similar Apps out there that you may like better. There is so much out there!

Another App I like is the Ballistics Advanced Edition App and uses JBM Ballistics software. Cost is only $4.99. You can go to JBM Ballistics website too and just select trajectory and get simple trajectories but the App allows for many advanced features and “Save” features.

Why learn to use these and other Apps? It is because your phone is not really a phone.  It is a powerful computer that has a phone as part of it! If you have it with you in the field or on the range you can use it to great advantage.

I will talk more about other Apps soon!

Good Hunting and Shooting!
