huntAhead is a hunting tool that allows you to pattern and track individual animals. With the huntAhead app you will be able to build an individual bucks profile, set up independent stand locations tied to a specific GPS coordinate, which will automatically store valuable weather data such as air temperature, barometric pressure, predominate wind direction and moon phase. No more taking pictures off your computer screen and scrolling through the photos on your phone to find the deer pictures to share with your friends. Simply open our app and go to your bucks profile and start swiping. Our goal is to help you have an easier, enjoyable and successful hunting experience. After you have had a successful hunt simply hit add to trophy room and start collecting memories. You can also manage your hunting properties and areas with our new mapping features. Add different locations such as tree stands, box blinds, cameras to your map. Add other points of interest such as turkey roosts and coyote mapoints. Draw or live record trails. Track a blood trail while you're on the hunt and in the field. We offer satellite imagery and contour maps with hillshading to assist you in locating and setting up for more successful hunts. Maps can be viewed in 2D or 3D to survey terrain. Guide service features include sharing hit list profiles, stands and locations with other users via sms, email, facebook, twitter and whatsapp. Create hunting groups where you can share your location with other members of your hunting group. As a guide you can track multiple hunting groups at the same time, seeing where members of groups are at on the map. We know not all trail camera photos are big bucks. Sometimes you get a few that you might just want to keep around because they are just too good to delete. So, simply add them to your individual favorite photos collection within the app. Monthly Subscription: • Title: Standard Monthly • Length of subscription: 1 month • Price of subscription: 1.99 / Month Annual Subscription: • Title: Standard Annual • Length of subscription: 1 year • Price of subscription: 19.99 / Year • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. • Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. • Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.
