Remember when maps were on paper?  We use to spend money on paper topo maps and put a thumbtack on that map to represent a deer sighting, effectively creating heat map with multiple thumbtacks.  Then along came Google and Google Maps.  It was a revolutionary step forward in scouting technology, but there were some very important pieces missing from the Google map.  For one, we couldn't instantly in-the field in real-time tell where the boundary lines of property existed. Sure, we could spend hours looking at town survey maps, but nothing was instant.  And who the heck owned the property?  That was another game of tracking down slow information points.  These were all the challenges that Eric Siegfried, founder of OnX Maps had at one time.  All of the information was available, but not instantly on any single device in an organized manner when you needed it.  So, Eric set out to fix all that with his new company.  A decade later, with a subscription and smart phone or GPS you can instantly have access to all this information.  It's a game changer for the hunter.  You'll learn more about the areas that you hunt than you ever thought to ask and it makes the hunting possibilities endless.  We dive deep into all the bells, whistles, and capabilities that OnX has to offer with Zach Sandau, Project Co-Ordinator for OnX Hunt. This is part IV of our series on hunting technology and stay tune for out next episode when we explore arrow and broad head technology with David Hand CEO of Ballistic Arrow Tech and Slash Arrows.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

By now in your hunting career you've probably used a game camera or two. As hunters we use game cameras to scout and gather information about deer movement.  Game camera pics can be deceiving though, for multiple reasons. For example, there could be a huntable buck in the area that just won't come to the camera.  Or, perhaps we get a picture of a buck, but the reason we think he's in the area might be relative to something completely different from what we thought.  Scientifically these examples could be considered a false negatives and a false positives.  Using a multiple camera system and gathering data points connected to weather  might be a better approach to determining when to hunt.  However, keeping track of data when using more than a couple cameras can be daunting and without keeping statistics correctly the degree of error goes up when determining the true pattern.  That's where Deer Lab comes into play.  Deer Lab takes game camera picture information thru photo recognition and time stamps and marries that content with external weather data to help you determine statistically the best time to hunt a target.  In other words, Deer Lab can efficiently determine what's in the picture and then couples the time stamp to  weather points like wind speed, sunrise, sunset, barometric pressure, visibility, humidity, and moon data.  In this episode of Hunt Tech Part III, we dive deep with Jon Livingston of Deer Lab to figure out how Deer Lab can help you uncover all the data and information that a game cam picture holds, well beyond just an image of your target buck.

On the last episode of Deer Hunt, we began our exploration of hunting technology with the Drury's new app called DeerCast.  We continue our series on hunting technology this time with the likes of Tactacam, a company who built what is perhaps the best deer hunting action camera on the market.  We've all been involved with hunts where we wished we had a camera to film it all but didn't.  And there's that occasion when we did have a camera, but the awkwardness of using the camera and taking the shot at the same time made for terrible footage.  There have been other action cameras on the market, but somehow, this small coming out of Minnesota has gotten top marks with hunters, probably because they thought through what the hunter needs most- a camera that can seemingly just  be part of the equipment -  conveniently hidden near the end of a barrel or within the stabilizer of a bow, and without duct tape, and can be activated with a push of the button.  Tactacam continues to reach new ground as it constantly attempts to increase the quality of the video with the likes of  Tactacam 5.0, but has never compromised for those hunters on a budget for example with the Tactacam Solo.  Stay with us as we explore all the aspects of Tactacam on this show with the like of Aaron Stonehocker.

In the first part of our 6 Part Series of Hunt Tech, where we explore the technology that has embedded itself in our hunting lives, we dive deep into a new hunting app called DeerCast by Drury Outdoors.  For a very long time deer hunters have been trying to determine when deer move, what conditions make for a worthy deer hunt, and when should we as deer hunters capitalize on those factors.  We've spent hours and hours studying solunar charts, weather maps for pressure and cold fronts, and peak estrus diagrams for the areas that we hunt.  It can be a daunting task to put that all together.  The Drurys- Mark, Terry,  Matt, and Taylor have condensed all this information into one app for iOS and Android call Deercast to determine the best times to hunt in your area during each phase of the Drury 13 Phases of hunting.  Will it be effective? Only time will tell, but undoubtedly technology in the deer hunting world, like it or not, is here to stay.  So we thought we should explore in detail some of these tech advancements.  Stay tuned for our next episode where we explore action cameras with the likes of Tactacam.

In 1977 Chris Cordell began a career as a professional deer hunter.  He is the first and only hunter in the world to complete a double slam in one season and has tagged in over 200 whitetails, not to mention  placing over 30 Pope and Young whitetails on his wall.  Oh, and that was before the age of 35. Chris is also an outdoor writer, product designer, and inventor of various archery products for the hunting industry.  Away from the spotlight for a while, Chris is poised for a comeback and wants nothing more than to help hunters hunt better. His favorite quote: Let 'em grow.  We like that.

As Longfellow wrote in his infamous poem Paul Revere's Ride, "One if by land, two if by sea" describing the Redcoat's travel plans from Boston to Concord, we can almost re-envision this today as a  description of  hunting and fishing in the modern world- one whitetail land, two stripers by sea. Now it's the hunt, and perhaps a new fight for freedom, that is conducted in the suburbs of Boston where the American Revolution began.  According to Justin Coots and Jacob Bennett, members of a fairly new band of bowhunting patriots call Boston Bowhunter, it's darn good hunting in and around Boston.  We discuss how Justin, a fairly new hunter and Jacob, a seasoned deer hunter, plan there hunts in and around the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts and why they founded the Boston Bowhunter group.

We've heard the expression 'Hunt the Wind' over and over.  Many of us base our entire hunt on exactly that concept.   But what if that was all wrong?  Did your head just explode?  Mine did when I heard this from Michael Yates, part of the group of hunters that Bill Vale has organized as the Pressured Deer Pros.  I had to dig deeper so we put Michael on the mic stand to discuss amongst other things: hunter efficiency, ground disturbance, hunting upwind and not down wind, several ground hunting tactics and ambush set ups.
