About

Actaeon

Features
Read full description

Actaeon keeps a deer camp’s herd in one place, so everybody hunts off the same list. Pull your trail camera cards into the app and put a name to the deer in them. Each buck gets a page: his pictures by season, his points and age, how to tell him from the one that looks like him, and where the camp stands on shooting him. Hunting mode is built for the stand at gray light. It opens on a dark screen with your camp’s deer as faces you can scan, in the order that matters: don’t shoot first, then undecided, then management, then trophy. Tap one for his picture, the camp’s call, and his record. Filter by antler points when you only need the eights. The camp’s manager decides what each person sees and shoots. Guests get a one-time invite link, read-only, for as long as the manager says. Deer marked top secret stay hidden from guests unless the manager shares them. A guest can be allowed to add pictures without changing anything else. Share a deer’s pictures with somebody outside the camp by text, or hand out an invite so they can look for themselves. Actaeon is for hunting clubs, leases, and family camps. No ads, and nothing in it is sold to anybody.
