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.
How it works
Do your scouting before you burn a morning
FowlTracker shows you what has already happened on a piece of ground and lines it up with the weather and your own hunt log. You still make the call. You just make it with more than a hunch.
The routine
Four steps before every hunt
1. Save your spots
Drop a pin on the holes, fields and woods you hunt, or find public ground on the Public Lands list. Saving spots is free on every plan.
2. Read what happened there
Each spot shows what has actually happened on that ground: nights of roost activity for ducks and geese, how the ground ranks for turkey and deer, and the state's own harvest figures for public land.
3. Line it up with the weather
Put the history next to a seven-day forecast, then layer wind, temperature and precipitation over the map before you commit to a morning.
4. Hunt it, then log it
Record the hunt with times, harvest by species, guests and notes. Your own results sit next to FowlTracker's on every spot from then on.
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.
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.
- Open Water from satellite, so you can see which fields and flats are flooded once you zoom in close.
- 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.
Where the data comes from
Real records, not guesses
Everything in FowlTracker except the weather forecast is a record of what already happened. Here is where each piece comes from.
Weather radar
The Roost model reads weather radar for birds lifting off roosts at dawn, night by night.
GPS-tracked birds
The Presence model is built on GPS-tracked waterfowl and runs every day of the year, coast to coast.
Land-cover data
The turkey and deer habitat layers score every 100-foot square of the eastern US on its mix of woods and fields.
State agencies
Spring turkey and deer harvest, season dates and bag limits, reported by state wildlife agencies for their public land, with USGS public land boundaries.
