FIND A DEER TRACKER WHEN YOU NEED ONE TRAKR is the purpose-built deer recovery app that connects hunters with available tracking dog handlers and thermal-drone operators in their area. When a shot doesn’t go as planned, finding the right tracker shouldn’t mean searching Facebook groups, making late-night phone calls, or trying to figure out who covers your area. With TRAKR, you submit one detailed tracking request and nearby recovery teams are notified. The Official App of United Blood Trackers and American Blood Trackers Association TRAKR was built by hunters and trackers who understand how important the decisions made after the shot can be. ONE REQUEST. NEARBY TRACKERS. Instead of contacting trackers one at a time, TRAKR uses your location to notify available tracking teams who service the area where your animal was shot. Trackers can review your request and respond directly through the app, helping you connect with the right recovery team faster. GIVE YOUR TRACKER BETTER INFORMATION A successful recovery starts with good information. TRAKR’s guided tracking request helps hunters document the important details surrounding the shot and what happened afterward, including: • Shot location • Time of the shot • Shot distance • Weapon and equipment information • Deer reaction • Blood, hair and other sign observed • Distance already tracked • Photos and video from the scene Instead of trying to remember everything during a phone call, your tracker can review the situation before ever heading your way. LOCATION-BASED TRACKER MATCHING TRAKR helps connect hunters with tracking teams that actually service their area. Available trackers can view active recovery requests in their region using TRAKR’s location-aware mapping system, helping eliminate the guesswork of figuring out who is close enough to help. PHOTOS & HIGH-QUALITY VIDEO What happened at the shot can provide critical clues. Upload photos of blood, hair, tracks, the impact location and other sign directly to your request. TRAKR also supports high-quality video transfers, allowing trackers to evaluate clearer footage than they may receive through compressed text messaging. DETAILED TRACKER PROFILES Know more about a tracker before deciding who you want helping with your recovery. TRAKR profiles can provide information about the tracker, tracking method, service area, experience, fees, equipment and other details so hunters can make a more informed decision. RATINGS & REVIEWS See feedback from hunters who have previously worked with a tracking team. Ratings and reviews provide another valuable source of information when choosing who you want helping with your recovery. DIRECT COMMUNICATION Once connected, communicate directly with your tracker without searching social media for contact information or wondering whether someone received your message. BUILT FOR THE ENTIRE RECOVERY PROCESS TRAKR isn’t simply a directory of tracker phone numbers. It is a complete system built around wounded-game recovery, from documenting what happened at the shot, to locating available trackers, sharing critical information, communicating with the recovery team and completing the tracking request. For trackers, TRAKR provides a centralized platform to receive nearby requests, evaluate each situation, communicate with hunters and manage recovery opportunities. BUILT FOR HUNTERS & TRACKERS, BY HUNTERS & TRACKERS We understand what it’s like when a hunt suddenly becomes a recovery. TRAKR was designed around real-world tracking situations and the information recovery teams actually need to make better decisions in the field. BE PREPARED BEFORE YOU NEED IT The worst time to start searching for a tracker is after you’ve already wounded a deer. Download TRAKR before hunting season so you have access to tracking resources when you need them most.

HuntLine IQ turns trail camera photos into real deer movement intelligence. Every hunter who uploads a photo makes the picture clearer for everyone hunting nearby. You see what is moving around your property, when it moved, and the conditions it moved in — built from real observations, not guesses. WHAT YOU GET Deer movement intelligence Movement trend, daylight activity, morning and evening peak windows, and the wind, pressure and moon conditions deer actually moved in. Reports are published for your state, your region, your county, and progressively closer to your property as the data around you grows. A community feed built on distance Trail camera sightings from other hunters, organized by how far they are from your property — 0-2, 2-3, 3-5, 5-7 miles and wider. Vote shoot or pass on what you see. Your exact location is never shared, only privacy-safe distance bands. Harvest intelligence See the bucks and does taken across your state, with the composition and timing that tell you how the season is actually going. Your private hunting log Log a sit in seconds. HuntLine IQ saves the temperature, wind and barometric pressure automatically, so months later you can open an old hunt and see exactly what the morning felt like. Filter by property and stand, and watch your season totals build. Hunting weather that matters Today's temperature, wind direction and speed, pressure trend, sunrise and sunset, plus the hours ahead — the conditions that decide whether it is worth going out. Missing Buck alerts Lost a buck after the shot? Alert nearby hunters so they can watch their cameras for him. HOW IT WORKS Drop a pin on your hunting property. Every distance in the app is measured from that pin. Upload trail camera photos as you pull cards, and the community intelligence around you sharpens with each one. Reports only publish when there is enough real data behind them — enough observations, from enough separate contributors, spread across enough ground. If the data is not there yet, HuntLine IQ says so instead of showing you a number it has not earned. MEMBERSHIPS Free — the community feed from 7-10 miles out and wider, statewide intelligence reports, one property, and a private hunting log. Pro ($3.33/month, $39.99 billed annually) — the feed from 3-5 miles out, intelligence down to the 3-5 mile scale, two properties, and Missing Buck alerts. Elite ($5.00/month, $59.99 billed annually) — every viewing range from 0-2 miles, the closest intelligence, Season reports, and three properties. PRIVACY Your property location is never shown to anyone. Photos are stripped of location data on upload, and other hunters only ever see which distance band an observation falls into. Counts, never coordinates. CURRENTLY LIVE Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and Tennessee, with more states as the community grows. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HuntLine IQ at 5.0 against TRAKR app's 4.4. HuntLine IQ also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). TRAKR app's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
