HuntShield vs RutLock

Tired of paying for a stack of subscriptions just to do the one thing you actually planned on — hunting? HuntShield is your all-in-one hunting multitool: regulations, 3D scouting, lidar, land, recovery and meat yield in one app, with the field tools still working when your signal doesn't. KNOW IT'S LEGAL BEFORE YOU GO Pick your state, the kind of ground you're hunting and the date. HuntShield lays out what's open, legal hunting hours, the licenses and tags you need, blaze orange and gear rules, plus the Don't-Get-Caught laws hunters actually get cited for, each linked to the state's own regulations. The Trip Planner builds a pre-trip checklist, the Season Guide lists every season and bag limit, and your gear, sits, harvests and licenses live in one record. Checks you've run stay on your phone for when the signal drops, and Hunter members get a push and an email when their state's rules change. SEE THE GROUND, NOT JUST THE MAP 3D terrain with slope, aspect, thermals and scent drift, and the sun tracked through the day. Switch on lidar to see the bare earth under the trees — the benches, saddles, draws and old logging roads that funnel deer — and let HuntShield mark the likely ones for you. STAND THERE BEFORE YOU GO Drag the Stand View figure onto the map and look around in first person, built from the real USGS lidar scan: the actual trees at their measured heights, the brush, the lay of the land. Check your shooting lanes from the ground, a ladder or a tower. Where no scan exists, you get a model from terrain and canopy data. Save a stand and it opens with no signal. FIND THE THICK STUFF The brush layer reads the lidar scan to show where the cover is thick two to ten feet off the ground — the bedding cover a satellite photo can't see. CONDITIONS FOR EVERY HUNT AREA Weather, wind, pressure, sunrise and sunset, moon phase and species activity for public land and WMAs, plus a moon and rut calendar by species. FIND LAND TO HUNT Public ground is crowded and private ground is who-you-know. Browse land by the day, season or party, see the rate up front, and book it in the app. WORK THE BLOOD TRAIL WITH NO SERVICE Built to work offline. Tell it where the animal stood and where the shot hit, and it walks you through the sign, how long to wait and which way to push. (Hunter) KNOW THE YIELD BEFORE THE PROCESSOR DOES Twenty species, whitetail to squirrel, with the cut breakdown. No scale in camp? Measure the girth for a weight estimate from published equations for nine big-game species. IDENTIFY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT Species identification that runs on the phone, even with the bars at zero. FOR LANDOWNERS List your property, set day, season or party rates, manage bookings and issue guest permits. WHAT NEEDS A SIGNAL Straight answer: the marketplace, community and bookings need a connection, a new regulation check or lidar view needs one the first time, and maps are downloaded once to work offline (Hunter). Saved checks, saved stands, saved maps, blood trailing, meat yield and species identification work in airplane mode. WHAT IT COSTS Free: 3 regulation checks a month, 2 gear scans, a trip plan, the meat yield calculator, the moon and rut calendar, a 5-record harvest log, and the land marketplace — browsing and booking are free. Hunter, $14/month, starting with a 1-month free trial: unlimited regulation checks, regulation change alerts, blood trailing, offline map downloads, GPS tracks, waypoints, sit log, compliance certificates and cross-device sync. Landowner, $35/month: everything in Hunter, plus parcel claiming, guest permits, food plot planning, property listing and booking management. Regulations are compiled from state wildlife agency publications and reviewed against the source, but you are always responsible for the rules where you hunt. Verify anything that decides a shot.

RutLock — Know the Right Move. RutLock is a hunting intelligence and property management app built to help hunters make informed decisions before, during, and after the hunt. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE RutLock brings together your stand setup, property features, wind, weather, forecast conditions, and hunting information to help identify opportunities and hunting windows. PROPERTY & STAND MAPPING Build your hunting property on an interactive map. Add stands, parking locations, entry routes, bedding areas, trails, food sources, cameras, and other important hunting features. WIND, WEATHER & SCENT See changing conditions in the context of your property and stand setup. Evaluate wind direction, scent risk, temperature, precipitation, and hourly conditions before heading to the woods. TRAIL CAMERA INTELLIGENCE Organize cameras and photos, identify known bucks, review activity, and turn confirmed trail-camera observations into useful hunting information. RECOVER MY DEER After the shot, record shot details and field evidence and use RutLock's guided recovery assessment to help determine a cautious waiting window before tracking. TROPHY SCORING Record harvest information and score your trophy in the field with detailed measurement tools and official-style 1/8-inch measurements. GROUP HUNTING Coordinate with family and hunting partners and stay aware of hunting activity across your property. FAITH IN THE FIELD Start your hunt with Before the Hunt devotionals, Verse of the Day, prayer, and an offline Bible library built directly into RutLock.
