Every tag, license and deadline in one place.

A hunting tags and license tracker for people who hunt more than one season, in more than one state.

Seasons, tags, licenses, hunt regs, draw applications and preference points — organized around the year you actually hunt, with reminders before every opener, deadline and expiry.

A serious hunter's paperwork does not fit in your head.

A casual angler has one fishing license and remembers it. A serious hunter has a state hunting license, a deer tag, an upland validation, a duck validation, a federal duck stamp, a second state's license, an elk application, a preference point in a third state, a hunter education card, a harvest report due after the season, and six sets of dates that all move every year.

Every state runs its own portal, its own deadlines and its own vocabulary. Nothing talks to anything else. The tags are not the hard part. Keeping track of them is.

This app is the personal-admin side of hunting: what you hold, when it expires, when the season opens, when you have to apply, and what happened when you went.

Everything hangs off the season.

A season is one species, one place, one year — California Deer, 2026. Its tag, the license that covers it, the dates it runs, the methods of take it allows, the official regulations and the people hunting it all attach to that one record.

Seasons sort themselves into Active, Upcoming and Past from their own dates, so the list reorders itself as the year moves without you maintaining anything.

Dates by method

Archery in July, general rifle in September, youth weekend in between — each window keeps its own opener and closer.

Licenses entered once

One state hunting license points at deer, turkey, upland and waterfowl. Enter it once, not four times.

Tags, permits, validations

Kept as separate kinds internally, because a tag is not a license and a validation is not a permit.

One screen that tells you what is actually coming.

Today is assembled from everything else you have entered. Nothing on it is a separate list to maintain, and nothing on it nags you about a season that is a year out.

The regulations, from the people who actually publish them.

Save the official agency link for each season, your own notes, the PDF if you want it, and the date you last read it. Two weeks before the opener, the app reminds you to read it again — because regulations change annually and last year's memory is not a defense.

This app is not a regulations database and never will be. It does not reproduce or interpret the rules. It remembers where they live and when you last checked, and sends you to the agency's own page, which is always more current than any app's copy.

The deadline you cannot get back.

A western hunt starts the day you decide to apply, not the day you find out you drew. Each season carries its own application: when it opens, when it closes, when results land, how many preference points you are sitting on, and where you are in the process.

Status moves from Planning to Applied to Drawn or Not Drawn to Tag Purchased. Deadlines count down on Today and fire reminders at 30, 7 and 1 days. Buy the tag and the reminders stop on their own.

Including the days nothing happened.

Log the day, where you went, the method you carried, and what came of it. Harvests record species, sex, points, the tag they were taken on, photographs, and optionally where.

Days with nothing taken are kept with the same weight. Most days are those. An app that only counts successes is a scoreboard; counting the blank days is what makes it a record — and what makes it trustworthy when it does report something good.

The journal is never paywalled, on any tier. It is your history, not a feature.

Find out on Tuesday, not in the parking lot.

Add everyone you hunt with — kids, a spouse, your dad, your grandfather. Nobody needs their own account or even a phone. You hold their licenses, their tags and their history.

Plan a trip, say who is going and which seasons it is for, and the app checks each person against the trip's own dates. A license that is valid this morning and lapses the day before the opener is exactly the failure worth catching early.

A year you can hand to someone.

At the end of a season: days afield, hunts, trips, harvests, fish, states, the method you used most, the month you were out the most, who you went with, and the firsts — a first elk, a first brown trout, a first hunt with a grandson.

Export it as a printable PDF or share it as an image. It reads well in black and white, because a keepsake should.

No account. No server. No feed.

Your records live on your device. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing holding your harvest history on someone else's computer, no social feed and no public profile. Export everything to a file whenever you want it somewhere else.

It also works with no signal, which is where most hunting happens.

Annual, because the product is about a year.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to keep track of hunting tags and licenses?

Keep every tag, license, permit and validation in one place, attached to the season it covers, with the expiration recorded so something reminds you before it lapses. This app stores each credential once and points it at every season it applies to — so a single state hunting license can cover deer, turkey, upland and waterfowl without being entered four times.

Does the app tell me when hunting season opens?

It tells you what you entered. The app is not a regulations database and never asserts that a season is open. You record the dates the agency published, and the app counts them down, reminds you a week and a day before the opener, and keeps the official regulation link beside them. Always confirm current dates with the wildlife agency that issues them.

Can I track draw applications and preference points?

Yes. Each season can carry a draw application that moves through planning, applied, drawn or not drawn, tag purchased and complete. Record when applications open, the deadline, the results date and how many preference points you hold. Deadlines appear on Today and fire reminders 30, 7 and 1 days out.

Does it work for multiple states?

Yes, and that is the point. All 50 states, federal credentials, and every Canadian province and territory. A hunter running California deer, an Arizona elk application and an over-the-counter Colorado tag sees all three on one screen, ordered by what happens next.

Is this a digital hunting license I can show a game warden?

No. Photos and PDFs you store are reference copies for your own use. Several states require licenses and tags to be displayed through their official system or carried physically. Always follow your state or province's rules for what has to be on you in the field.

How does the app handle hunting regulations?

It stores the official agency link, your notes, any PDF you attach, and the date you last reviewed it — then reminds you to reread two weeks before the opener. It deliberately does not reproduce or interpret regulations. Maintaining fifty states' rules accurately is a liability problem, and the agency's page is always more current than any app's copy of it.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything is stored on your device, so tags, season dates, notes and your journal work with no signal. Opening a regulation link needs a connection, since that goes to the agency's own site.

Can I track licenses for my kids, my spouse, or my dad?

Yes, and they do not need their own account or even a phone. Everyone in a household is a record you keep, with their own licenses, tags and history. Before a trip, the app checks everyone going against the seasons that trip is for and tells you who is short a license or holding one that expires before you get back.

Is there a hunting journal or harvest log?

Yes, free on every tier. Log the day, where you went, what you carried and what came of it, with photos. Harvests record species, sex, points, the tag they were taken on and optionally where. Days with nothing taken are kept too — most days are those, and a log that only counts successes is a scoreboard rather than a record.

How much does it cost?

Free to use, including an unlimited hunt journal, reminders, and three active licenses, tags or permits. Outdoorsman is $19.99 a year for unlimited credentials, draw and preference point tracking, calendar sync and PDF export. Family is $34.99 a year and adds up to six people, shared seasons and trip readiness.

Is my hunting data private?

Your records stay on your device. No account to create, no server holding your harvest history, no social feed, no public profile. Export everything to a file whenever you want it elsewhere.

Does it have maps, GPS tracking or weather?

No, deliberately. This is the paperwork and record side of hunting, not a scouting app — designed to be useful alongside a mapping app rather than to replace one. A harvest can carry a single coordinate as part of its record, but there are no property lines, waypoints or map screens.

Does it work for fishing too?

Yes. Fishing licenses, seasons, trips and catches use the same structure, with techniques instead of methods of take. The app is hunting-first because that is where the paperwork piles up, but a fishing license expiring is the same problem.

What happens to my data if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away. Your journal, harvests, photos and history remain yours and remain readable. You simply return to the free limits for adding new credentials, and you can export everything to a file at any time on any tier.
