QDMA and Powderhook Announce Deer Tracker App

ATHENS, GA (August 24, 2015) – QDMA and Powderhook are pleased to offer “Deer Tracker,” a free mobile app that allows hunters to monitor deer activity and harvests in their neck of the woods and across the country. QDMA and Powderhook hope to use the data generated as part of a long-term project aiming to improve the deer hunting experience for new hunters and experts alike. 

Highlighted features of the app include a heat map optimized for daytime deer movement. Brian Murphy, CEO of QDMA, said the app is designed that way for an important reason. 

“While hunting the rut gets the most attention, research confirms that the peak of the rut often is not the best time to harvest a deer,” said Murphy. “There are plenty of windows before and after the rut that can be good times to see deer moving. Thus, we set up our heat map to indicate the likelihood of a hunter seeing a mature deer during shooting light.”

Other features include anonymous observation and harvest reports, though the app makes it impossible to pinpoint the exact location of a single report. Powderhook CEO Eric Dinger said deer hunters will appreciate the ability to contribute to the overall improvement of deer hunting while not having to give up any of their personal information.  Read more

Ameristep’s New Carnivore Hunter Blind

When you’re after game, especially the kind that wears giant antlers on its head, you’d better be able to get close and remain undetected. To be an effective predator, you need Ameristep’s new Carnivore Hunter blind.

Prey species like whitetails are built to detect predators, so the Carnivore Hunter has features to help you beat their defense systems.

The blind starts with Realtree’s newest and most effective camouflage pattern, Xtra®, printed on Ameristep’s Durashell RuggedShield HD fabric. It is custom woven with dull finish to prevent glare and is Ameristep’s most durable, abrasion- and wear-resistant shell material. In addition, the patented Edge ReLeaf 3-D system breaks up solid outlines and helps the blind blend in to any woods setting.
