## What is Deer Hunters MoonGuide 3.0?

***The Official Hunting App of Team200, Whitetail Edge and Live 2 Hunt***

With over 20 years of proven success, join the growing number of hunters who have harvested the biggest buck of their lives on the "Red Moon" using the MoonGuide. As featured in Petersen's Bowhunting magazine (2019 & 2020 Whitetail Planner) the MoonGuide calendar will tell you the best days, times and locations to hunt deer months in advance. 

Adam Hays is a world class bowhunter that has harvested over 40 Pope & Young class bucks, 10 of those going over 170" and 4 surpassing the coveted 200-inch mark. Adam has spent decades perfecting his approach to patterning and killing World Class whitetails and now you can plan your hunt using the same tool Adam uses with the MoonGuide. 

Simply consult the MoonGuide calendar to find the best days, times and locations to encounter a mature muck on his feet during daylight hours. The MoonGuide is a great for pre-season scouting, scheduling time off work or planning out of state hunts.

### 5/5 — Top Shelf

*2026-01-17*

Excellent App to have!

### 5/5 — Finally got to use it

*2025-12-21*

I used this last weekend and it works pretty dam good. Saw a nice buck out running around . Could not get a shot on him though.

### 1/5 — Junk app

*2025-12-08, version 1.8.2*

24.99 a year and all it will let me do is create a password and tell me there is an error updating

### 5/5 — Weather and wind

*2025-12-01*

I really like the wind direction and forecast part of the app.

### 1/5 — None

*2025-11-08*

Deer movement part
Could be more detailed I understand not exact science but seems pretty unprofessional

### 3/5 — Weather?

*2025-11-01*

I like the red moon guide and it has proven to play a big part of the few hunts that I have had. Your weather in particular needs to have more information with models of current conditions which include detailed information on the wind and barometric pressure .Models of weather radar snd 2 week forecast as well historical data. Thank world be awesome!

### 5/5 — Wind

*2025-10-18*

Wind indicator
Is worth getting the app

### 1/5 — Bait and Switch with too many Ads.

*2025-10-16*

Downloaded it to test out and it only shows you historical data from the past month.  At least do a 14-day trial if you want to try to hook people and make a compelling sales pitch.  Only things free were weather and things like that which you get anywhere.   Deeply disappointed at being flooded with all the advertising as well.  It’s a bit much and takes away from the user experience (if I could’ve actually used the data).  Temper the desire to turn a buck with allowing users to try it to shoot a buck and the sales will speak for itself.  Change those things and I’ll try it.

### 2/5 — Pay 32$!!?!?

*2025-10-04*

I’m not paying 32$ just to use and app it’s not worth even downloading

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-05-25*

Looking at the photos from the rubbbb
