About
skhunter is a weather and hunting companion built for Saskatchewan. It puts what hunters care about most - wind, rain and snow, and legal hours - on one clean page.
• Weather & wind: temperature, feels-like, wind, gusts, humidity and sea-level pressure; hourly weather, chance of precipitation, gusts and wind arrows; a 16-day trend (day 8 onward is a trend only). Canadian GEM model first with US GFS for comparison, wind and gusts taking the higher of the two; days where the two disagree are flagged.
• Official alerts: Environment Canada weather alerts for your location. In the Chinese interface, alert text is translated on the device with Apple's built-in Translation (iOS 26 and later); the original English is one tap away and is the authoritative version.
• Legal hunting hours: sunrise, sunset and the hunting window in the location's own time zone; the note quotes the official Hunters Guide (it is unlawful to hunt any wildlife from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise).
• Coyote hunting: a coyote activity index from ten factors (wind, gusts, precipitation, temperature, pressure trend, cloud, visibility, snow cover, moon phase, dawn/dusk), moon phase and solunar periods; a year-round calling plan by season with a one-hour call timer (on-screen prompts only, no sound). Sound names follow the FOXPRO X24 standard sound list.
• Saskatchewan rules: a download link for the official 2026-27 Saskatchewan Hunters Guide (PDF) and a link to the Government of Saskatchewan hunting page; the app does not restate or interpret the rules.
• Zone map (WMZ): official wildlife management zone boundaries, your current zone highlighted and a live location dot; land parcels the Hunters Guide lists with hunting conditions or as closed, outlined from Government of Saskatchewan data (FWDF land, community pastures, National Wildlife Areas, refuges, game preserves, parks, reserves and more); tap a point for directions, double-tap a parcel to see what it is, with a pointer to the official guide; a search box for zone numbers, place names, legal land descriptions and coordinates (typing a zone number such as 17 in the main search box shows the forecast for that zone's centre; the map is one tap below the place name); a 3D view (terrain, street or satellite base map); six terrain-analysis layers - elevation bands, slope aspect, water, forest edge, distance from roads and viewshed; hold a point 3 seconds and drag to another to measure the distance in yards, with multi-leg routes. Zones and parcels work offline; base maps, 3D and terrain layers need a connection.
• Campgrounds & lodging: OpenStreetMap campgrounds and places to stay, nearest first, with phone, website, map and directions.
• Sight height: take a side-on photo of your rifle and tap four points, using the scope tube as the scale, to measure scope-to-bore height. Photos are processed on the device only; you can name and save the result.
• Hunt reminders: stored on the device, one tap to add to your calendar.
• Handy extras: favorite places; 200+ Saskatchewan towns with distance from you; one-tap Chinese/English; data export/import.
• Opens without signal: your last weather and alerts stay on the device, clearly dated.
Free, no ads, no subscriptions. No account needed; optional sign-in syncs favorites, reminders and sight-height records across devices.
For reference only. Hunting rules follow the current Saskatchewan Hunters Guide and conservation officers. Follow local laws and safety rules. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of Saskatchewan, Environment Canada or FOXPRO.

November 9, 2026
Fixed the map sometimes not appearing: the map library and base-map tiles now retry automatically, and one layer failing no longer blanks the whole map.
