Deer Camp reads the terrain, the dirt, the cover, and ten years of wind on your property and writes the plan a consultant would: where the deer ought to bed, where the plots go, what to plant in them, and which stand hunts clean on which wind. Then your cameras and your sits teach it your ground, season after season.
Free on iPhone and iPad. The web app works everywhere, and it is the same account either way.
A habitat consultant charges $1,500 to $2,500 a day and books out seasons ahead. Deer Camp builds your plan from the same raw material they use, in about a minute, and you can run it again on every new piece of ground you pick up.
Stands, cameras, scrapes, rubs, feeders, gates, and parking, marked by any member and seen by all of them, with a note on who put it there. Hang a picture on a stand so the new fella knows the view before he climbs in at five in the morning.
Hand it your trail cam pictures and it reads them: what deer, how many, the time off the stamp, and the wind that hour. Enough pictures and it shows you the travel lanes on your map, which cameras earn daylight, and a hunt forecast scored against your own stands. It knows your state's rut dates and season windows, and when it doesn't know something, it says so and tells you what to go check.
Save your property to your phone before you leave the house and the map keeps working where the bars quit. The GPS dot walks you to your stand in the dark. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app.
No guesswork and no magic. The plan is built from public survey data most folks never touch, read the way a land manager reads it.
Yes sir. If the lease follows the parcel lines, tap it. If your lease is a piece of somebody's bigger tract, trace your corners on the satellite view and the plan runs on exactly what you drew.
The whole lower 48. The terrain, soils, and boundary data are national. It was built and proven on flat south Georgia pine and swamp ground first, which is the hardest kind to read, and it works just as well on midwest hills.
No. Download your property while you're on wifi and the map, your marks, and the GPS dot all keep working with no signal. Photos and new marks sync back up when you do.
Only members of your camp. There's one invite code and you decide who gets it. Nothing about your property or your stand locations is public, and we don't sell data to anybody.
An honest answer: a good consultant walking your ground will catch things no map can, like browse pressure and a neighbor's bad habits. The plan gets you the eighty percent that's in the terrain, dirt, and wind, for about the cost of a bag of seed, and it tells you plainly which calls to verify on foot before you cut or plant.
