Hunting tools & calculators
Quick, free helpers for the practical questions every hunter asks - how much meat is in that animal, where to hold at range, how long to hang it. No sign-up, nothing saved, just straight answers you can act on.
Choke & Shot-Size Selector
Pick your quarry and expected range and get a sensible starting choke constriction and shot size - open and small up close, tighter and bigger as it stretches out, with a non-toxic reminder for waterfowl.
Arrow Spine Selector
Enter your draw weight, arrow length and point weight for a recommended carbon arrow spine range - the starting point every bowhunter needs before bare-shaft tuning. Longer arrows and heavier points both want a stiffer shaft.
Game Cooking Picker
Choose your meat and the cut you've got, and get the right cooking approach, a technique to nail it, and the safe internal temperature - so the prize cuts stay tender and nothing gets wasted.
Wind & Camera Diagrams
Top-down diagrams of the invisible game: scent cones, morning vs evening thermals, just-off winds, and where a trail camera actually belongs.
Season Countdown Planner
Pick your state and pursuit, confirm the opener with your agency, and get a live countdown plus a dated prep timeline - license, scouting, stands, sight-in - saved in your browser.
Legal Shooting Light
Sunrise, sunset and your legal shooting window for today and the whole month. Set your state's offset and get the times for your exact spot - no sign-up. Always confirm with your regs.
Freezer Inventory
Track the wild game in your freezer: log species, cut, weight and date, and it sorts by age so you know what to use first, totals your stock and prints an inventory. Saves in your browser.
Antler Score Calculator
Score a whitetail rack the Boone and Crockett way: enter your beam, tine and mass measurements for a gross and net typical score, with the symmetry deductions worked out and a printable sheet.
Today's Hunting Conditions
A live conditions rating: it reads your local weather, barometric pressure trend and moon phase and rates how deer movement looks today, with the best times to be out.
Coop & Run Size
How big a coop do you need? Pick your bird - chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys or quail - and how many you keep, for the coop floor and run space they need, in feet or metres.
Meat Yield Estimator
How much meat will you actually get? Enter the animal and its live or field-dressed weight for an estimate of boneless, freezer-ready meat - and how many meals that is.
Wild Game Cooking Matrix
Pick the animal and the cut and get the cooking method, a safe internal temperature and the reason why - from prime backstrap to braised shanks, wild duck breast and upland birds.
Hunting Problem Solver
Not seeing game? Pick what is going wrong - no animals, getting winded, missed shots, lost blood trails - and get the likely reasons and a fix for each, ranked.
DOPE Card Builder
Build a printable rifle drop chart from your load and zero: bullet drop in inches, MOA and MIL, plus retained velocity, energy and wind drift out to 600 yards, computed with a real G1 ballistic solver. A range-verified starting point.
Cartridge Comparison
Put two loads side by side - .308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor and more. Drop, velocity, energy and wind at every range from a shared zero, so you can see which shoots flatter and which hits harder downrange.
Zero & Holdover
Work out your holdover at range from your zero distance and load, so you know where to hold past the sight-in mark.
Shot Placement Guide
Pick your weapon and the animal's angle and see where to aim - for a clean, ethical shot, or when to pass.
Field Care & Aging
How long to hang and age your animal given the temperature, so the meat is tender and safe.

Trapline Manager
Log every set on your line - location, set type, target and bait - tap 'checked' as you run it and see instantly which sets are going overdue. Counts catches per set so you learn what produces. Stays in your browser.
Arrow Kinetic Energy
Does your bow setup hit hard enough? Enter arrow weight and speed for the kinetic energy, momentum and the game class it suits - from small game to the toughest big game.
