About
Sportsman Tracker is the company behind HuntWise, one of the most widely used hunting and fishing apps in the United States with a community of over 2 million active hunters. The platform is designed to be the all-in-one toolset for outdoor enthusiasts, covering every phase of the hunt — from pre-season scouting to post-hunt logging and community sharing. Key capabilities include interactive GPS mapping that lets users navigate properties, place tree stands, mark mineral sites, and locate trail cameras with precision. The weather forecasting tools help hunters identify optimal conditions and plan their outings accordingly. Public land access features make it easy to discover legal hunting areas, find trails and roads, and identify prime wildlife habitat for elk, deer, and other game. Beyond the technical tools, HuntWise thrives on its social community layer, where hunters can connect with friends, share trophy photos, ask questions, and exchange hard-won knowledge. The platform caters to western hunters, eastern hunters, big game fans, waterfowl hunters, and whitetail specialists alike. HuntWise is trusted and publicly endorsed by well-known outdoor creators and brands, and is used extensively by hunting guides, land managers, and hobbyist hunters to map food plots, measure acreage, and document their seasons. It is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android, with a supporting web presence.
