DeerCast: Deer Hunting Decoded

I just got this app. I installed it, set my location and then tried to watch some videos. For example, I tried watching the video about Mark’s rut hunting. First the video had no sound. I saw on these reviews that I have to have my ringer on. (Which is a major issue for me when hunting) So in the process of trying to watch a video and finding out how to get sound, the app crashed twice. It seems like every time I exit out of a video, the app crashes. The app is definitely something that I would probably pay for if it worked correctly. There just seems to be a lot of glitches in it. Now, I understand that in the process of developing and releasing apps there is a matter of testing and updating it to remove the glitches. Getting the bugs worked out so to say. That is why I am giving it 5 stars. I see it all the time, a company releases an app, a bunch of people get the app and try it out. They realize that it does not work perfectly (although it is free and they lost nothing except a little time) and they proceed to give it terrible reviews. Then the company updates and fixes all of the issues in the app and the app gets running very smooth. Those negative reviewers never update their review so it looks like the app has a bunch of negative reviews. So the company updates and improves the app and the negative people never update their reviews. If you ask me, sounds like the negative reviewers are the ones who should be defending their review.

I had the original version and updated to the elite as soon as it was available and i love it. I hunt a 10 acer and a 40 acer property both surrounded by neiboring farms and hunting property so i am limited in where i can sit and food plot sizes, so dont always see the big mature deer even when deercast says great but thats not that the apps wrong. Cuz i do still get pics of them at night. Its just that they arent getting to me before dark. All in all its pretty accurate after discussing whith neighbors what they were seeing and when. And i also love the deercast track. Even with a ton of experience its still good to look it up and get other advice to either rethink my thoughts or confirm what my plan was gonna be. And i love reading everybody elses stories and seeing there pics. Kind of like hunting camp but a whole lot bigger. Way to go to the whole drury team!!

I enjoy using this app and check it frequently. I’ve used it all Fall so far. It gives hunters invaluable information and a place to connect with like minded people. I’ve noticed a minor bug or two....but they seem to get addressed quickly when they arise. What I witness afield isn’t always exactly what the app says they will be...but it’s pretty darn close most of the time. A lot more accurate then my local weather forecast on the news lol. I tell every hunter I meet to get the app if they don’t currently have it. That being said...I’m not the type of person to pay for apps on my phone. It doesn’t matter how good they are....and this app is great....but I’ll continue to use it until I have to pay for it. I don’t begrudge anyone a paycheck, I just don’t pay for apps.

Takes all the guess work out of my decisions to hunt. The mad scientist really got it nailed down to a qualitative science. To bad quantitative science is only currently looking at some of the “times” to hunt on limited data sets. Weather systems, pressure, distances traveled etc, If they would combine there science together to include habitat types travels to and from during cold fronts/warm periods a discernible pattern would surely emerge. And I have a masters degree in wildlife management and I can see that. Colder the weather the more deer you see in more open areas. Yes they move amount/distance in the same cold or hot weather it’s the habitat that they move in that differs. Colder weather equals more open spaces thus more hunters harvesting game! That’s common sense and science! Life long observations passed down from hunter to hunter R/Brandon

Thanks to the Drury’s for giving us an edge. This app is top notch. Some of the low rating reviews it’s getting are hunter error in my opinion. There is no phone app or computer program that can tell you you will for sure see or kill a deer. It can only tell you the likelihood of deer movement based on all the important factors and this app does that without a doubt. If it’s a great day for deer movement in your area and you aren’t seeing anything maybe you are hunting in the wrong spot and if you are getting tons of trail cam pictures when you aren’t there maybe you should take the hint that you are being winded or spooking them out way before you see them. Great job with the app guys!! Thank you.
