HighTine — real terrain science for your hunt. Stop guessing where and when to hunt your stands. HighTine runs real terrain analysis on your actual property — elevation, cover, terrain funnels, and live weather — to show you where and when deer are actually moving, not a generic tip list. PREDICT Five terrain models, each one explainable, not a black box: Wind & Thermal Flow, Deer Movement, Deer Bedding, Mature Buck Bedding, and Stand Placement. Every result is built from your property's real elevation, cover, and terrain — see exactly why a spot scored the way it did. STANDS Every stand gets a real score for every hour of the day — built from that stand's terrain, live weather for that exact hour, the wind direction you've told the app works, and your own hunt-pressure history there. Know when to sit, not just where. PROPERTY Full property assessment — rut timing calibrated to your state, movement corridors, and a season-long outlook so you know when to hunt a property, not just today. VAULT Save every buck you've got on camera or in hand, and try our on-device AI scoring tool (beta) — snap a photo and get an instant Boone & Crockett-style estimate for free. Free to use. Upgrade to Pro for the full satellite map, unlimited scouting runs, and unlimited properties and stands. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
