The Human-Readable Version

WikiHunt is a GPS hunting map app for discovering public land, tracking hunts, and planning trips. We respect your privacy and handle your data responsibly.

Without an Account

You can browse the map, view public land boundaries, weather conditions, and use basic features without creating an account. No personal information is collected from non-registered users, though anonymous usage analytics may be gathered to help us improve the app.

With a WikiHunt Account

User data:

All user data is private and visible only to the account holder. We do not have a social or sharing feature.

Photos
