What the app does
A daily score for your ZIP. Enter a 5-digit ZIP and get today’s 0–100 deer movement score with a plain label: Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor. The score rolls temperature swings, wind, changing weather, moon phase and time of season into one number, so you can tell in a few seconds whether tonight looks worth a sit.
Sit windows and the reasons behind them. Each day shows the stronger morning, midday and evening windows for your spot, plus the weather driving the score in plain words.
Legal hunting hours. Shooting light for your spot, figured from local sunrise and sunset.
A free 3-day outlook for your state. Planning a weekend? Each state page shows the next 3 days for a city in that state, free.
Pro: the next 5 days for your spot. Pro adds the next 5 days for your own ZIP, unlimited saved spots, a hunt log and a stand tracker that compares stands by wind.
The score is a planning guide, not a promise you’ll see deer. How the score works · How our scores hold up
