Hunt Journal
Track hunts and spot patterns
Log each hunt with the spot, times, harvest by species, guests, labels, and notes. Your own results then sit next to FowlTracker's on every spot page.
See where the birds are before you burn a hunt day.
FowlTracker maps nightly waterfowl activity from weather radar and GPS-tracked birds, reads it for every spot you save and every piece of public land, and puts the weather right alongside it.
How hunters use FowlTracker
A simple routine before every hunt
Check your spots, weigh them against past seasons, and scout new ground before you decide it is worth the drive or taking off work.
- Check your spots
- Every saved spot is a card, sorted best-first. On Premium each one carries a plain verdict (Active, Light, or Quiet) and its last five nights of roost activity.
- Weigh it against past seasons
- See how this same week ran in previous seasons, and how the spot has run year over year, before you trust one good night.
- Scout new ground
- Pan the map to read any piece of ground, turn on wind and public land, and save the places worth a closer look.
Your spots
Every saved spot, sorted best-first
FowlTracker opens on your Spots board. With Premium, each card tells you in one line whether birds have been using that ground, with the weather at a glance.
- A five-night roost streak on every card, one dot per night (Premium).
- Filter to just the Active spots, or search by name once the list gets long.
- Step back through past dates to see how the whole board looked on any night.
Feature spotlight
Weigh a spot before you make the call
A single night can fool you. Pick the day you are planning to hunt and a spot's page lays out the evidence in the order you would actually weigh it.
- The read: the last five nights of real roost activity at that spot (Premium).
- This same week in past seasons, side by side with a seven-day weather forecast.
- Everything except the forecast is history, not a prediction: what birds did, never a promise of what they will do.
New: Public Lands
Find public ground birds have actually been using
Every wildlife refuge, WMA, national forest, and Corps of Engineers unit in a state, with the most recent roost reading for each one.
The Public Lands list is free for everyone; roost readings on it are part of Premium. Public access is not the same as hunting access, so always check the regulations before you go.
Layers in the map
Line up weather with where birds are holding
Layers stack, so you can run wind over wetlands over satellite imagery if that is the picture you need to make the call.
- Wind, temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, snow depth, and humidity overlays.
- Wetlands and public land boundaries, so you can see what is actually huntable.
- Satellite and topo base maps, and zoom that works like any other map, from the whole flyway down to one hole.

Historical Data Since 2022
See when a spot runs hot
With Premium, every saved spot shows its roost record season by season, September through April, plus the stretches of the year it has historically been strongest.
Bird ID
Identify birds from your photos
Upload a photo and Bird ID lists the species it can see. Photos on a hunt entry are identified automatically.
Coverage
Where the data is live
FowlTracker runs two models that cover different ground. Auto picks the better one for the date and place you are looking at, so leave it on Auto and you always get the stronger read.
- Full coverage:
- the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways.
- Also live:
- most of the Central Flyway, and part of California.
- Coming next:
- the rest of the country is expected this season.

No. Every reading is a record of a night that already happened. The weather forecast is the only forward-looking thing in FowlTracker, and a spot that has run hot for two seasons can still be empty the morning you drive out.
-
We have full coverage across the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways, most of the Central Flyway, and part of California. The rest of the country is expected this season. The two models cover different ground, so leave the map on Auto for the best available read.
-
Weather swings and migration pushes can move birds fast. Use day-to-day trends with weather overlays instead of relying on one date alone.
-
Two models. The Roost model is built on weather radar, which catches birds lifting off roosts at dawn. The Presence model is built on GPS-tracked birds and runs every day of the year. Each blends in habitat, weather, and other inputs on top of its main source.
-
Yes. Many hunters use saved spots, past-season comparison, and weather layers to decide which hole, blind, or field setup gives them the best shot.
-
