## What is Back by Dark?

Back by Dark is how a hunting club keeps track of its stands and its members.

BOOK A STAND
See every stand on the property with the wind it plays, how far the walk is, and whether anybody is already in it. First come, first served — no group texts at 4am.

SCAN IN
Every stand carries a tag. Scanning it proves you are in the stand you booked, not the one eighty yards away, and starts sharing your position with your club.

YOUR CLUB KNOWS YOU GOT BACK
Your position is shared with your club between check-in and check-out — not before, not after. Check out and it stops in the same moment. If you are an hour past your time and have not answered, your club sees it.

IT WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Download the property before you go. The map, your stands and your check-in work in a hollow with no bars, and everything you did syncs when you get back to the truck.

REPORT WHAT YOU SEE
Drop a sighting the moment it happens — a buck crossing, a blocked trail, somebody who should not be there. Report a broken ladder and say how bad it is; the app tells you exactly what that will do before you send it.

Built for clubs that share ground and want to stop guessing who is where.

MY HUNTS — ON ANY GROUND
Not in a club this weekend? My Hunts is your own space: drop waypoints for stands, scrapes, trail cameras and water, and save any area of the map for use with no signal. Tap Start hunt, say when you'll be back — sunset and last light are one tap — and tap I'm back when you are.

YOUR CREW
Make a group for the people you hunt with and invite them with a link. They see you're out, and where, until you're back.

SOMEONE NOTICES
An hour past your back-by time and not answering? Your group is alerted, and your emergency contact gets an email with where you were. Another email tells them the moment you check in.

BACK BY DARK PRO
Clubs, joining groups and My Hunts are free. Back by Dark Pro is an optional yearly subscription that adds offline maps in My Hunts and groups, and owning more than one group. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
