Users can delve deeper into specific zones to view the open seasons for big game, predators, game birds, and small game. Additionally, they can add their own waypoints, tracks, and drawings to keep track of hunting spots, past harvests, and landowner contact information.

### 5/5 — Variable usage

I use it whenever I’m in the woods. From helicopter work s of wood buffalo to s Alberta. Helped to Save men’s lives once by helping us find the only lease to land a helicopter on in dense fog.

### 5/5 — Great help

*2026-08-09*

I do find certain features of another popular app more useful, but nothing compares to the local knowledge, unit info in an easy format & LEH info like iHunter. I switch between the two apps a number of times in a trip. The good thing is, iHunter just gets better & better
