HuntCast: Hunting Forecast

Planning a hunt around shifting winds and fading light can ruin a sit before it starts. Misjudging the scent cone or losing track of legal shooting time costs opportunities.

Generic weather apps don’t know your stands. HuntCast does. It scores today’s wind against each stand’s optimal scent setup, counts down to legal light, and answers go, wait, or skip in one line — then names the next good morning when today isn’t it. Start a sit, freeze the conditions, and learn from your own history. Forecasts, stands, notes, photos, and hunt logs stay on your device so you still have intel when the signal dies.

Scent-smart wind & stands
• Wind compass & scent cone — rate current wind PERFECT, MARGINAL, or BLOWN against each stand’s preferred directions.
• Stand library & map — save stands with GPS or manual coords and optimal winds. Map pins show live wind overlay and scent rating.
• Scent cone on the map — scrub hour-by-hour through the forecast.
• Ideal-wind week per stand — day scores for each stand’s own wind setup.
• Daily stand ranking — Pro ranks every saved stand for today’s wind/scent match.
• Condition alerts — local notification when your saved wind shows up. Free: one stand, inside the 3-day window. Pro: every stand, plus a falling-pressure requirement.
• Map sightings — drop pins where you saw deer (bed / feed / travel / trail).

Precision timing & scoring
• Legal shooting light countdown — live start/end from stand coordinates with adjustable offsets and jurisdiction presets (Pro). Times are estimates and not legal advice — always know local laws and seasons.
• Hunt decision line + Score dial — plain-language go / wait / skip plus a 0–100 hunt window score from wind, pressure, Solunar, legal light, and Game fit. Wait/skip lines name the next good morning.
• Plan your week — per-day outlook during legal light with best day and peak hour.
• Morning brief + spoken brief — glanceable legal light and wind (free). Pro adds pressure, moon activity, and best-stand pick. Tap to hear the brief while you gear up.
• Morning brief alert — optional local notification with today’s score and legal light before you leave the house.
• Evening-before cue — optional heads-up the night before when tomorrow looks strong (score/wind).
• Open-sit reminder.
• Home-screen widget (Android).
• Current conditions — wind, pressure trend, temperature, and moon beside the scent dashboard.

Game intel & field tools
• Offline 56-species North American catalog — big game, turkey, waterfowl, upland, small game, and predators with seasonal behavior, mood, and calls/scents/decoys.
• Game today — five regional common species ranked for conditions; optional Settings toggles pull in small game and/or predators.
• Gear checklist — pack for today’s temp, wind, precip, and focus species.
• Game calls — play and loop species calls from the Tools tab.
• Blood track — live camera filter that highlights blood.

Private hunt logs & insights
• Start/end sits from the dashboard.
• Sit recap — after you close a sit, see wind, score, and stand insights.
• Notes & photos
• Stand insights

Built for the field
• Offline-first — stands, logs, photos, cached forecasts, game calls, and the bundled game catalog work after a prior sync.
• No mandatory account.
