HuntStand Expands Forecasting Tools with New Ultimate Membership Catering to Western Big-Game Hunters

Last month, in a historic first, HuntStand announced a milestone achievement, setting a new benchmark in e-scouting capabilities for the industry with the launch of HuntStand Ultimate.

Representing the most comprehensive body of science and data to date, HuntStand Ultimate, a new membership tier within the HuntStand app, sets a new gold standard for e-scouting and hunting preparation nationwide. Backed by decades of biological research and field studies led by internationally acclaimed Wildlife Biologist Brian Murphy and Certified Wildlife Biologist and Western Big Game Authority Jim Heffelfinger, it delivers groundbreaking predictive tools via HuntStand’s Whitetail Activity Forecast for not just whitetail deer, but also elk, mule deer, and black-tailed deer across the Western United States.

A collection of species-specific variables creates biologically sound activity models used to map peak breeding dates, animal movement patterns, and other important insights, while providing access to the following features:

  • HuntStand’s proprietary 15-day game activity forecast for every state, down to the county level, for whitetail, elk, mule deer, and black-tailed deer.
  • Exclusive rut maps, the most precise breeding-date maps available, for big-game species across North America.
  • Enhanced 3D mapping tools powered by a new mapping engine utilizing the most up-to-date monthly satellite imagery.
  • Members-only pricing on hunting gear and accessories through the newly launched HuntStand Gear Store, a first-of-its-kind in-app storefront offering insider discounts on more than 1,400 products from some of the top hunting brands in the industry.

By uniting science, technology, and insider access to cutting-edge gear in one app, HuntStand Ultimate ushers in a new era of hunt preparation, empowering hunters to plan with confidence, hunt more efficiently, and maximize success in the field.
