Big Game Hunting > Deer Hunting
Best/Preferred Scouting App
CarbonHunter:
I like the ease of use with OnX. I also have the inreach and used to have the tracking enabled for my wife but then I had a few times where the tracking wasn’t working properly that got her all worried so I don’t let her track me anymore. Just check in at night from the camp.
I’m sure soon enough texting through satellite will make the inreach obsolete so I wouldn’t invest in one if I didn’t already have mine. I still carry it for emergencies but that is it.
cjjcb:
I primarily use OnX in the field. If I'm desktop scouting I'll mix in Caltopo for the trails/milage and the big Google globe...
Stein:
In the field OnX for sure. They have closed the gap for e-scouting as well to the point where I only buy GoHunt if I need the research. OnX has some now that's OK if you just need a general idea.
I have ran into at least two times where public land showed up private on GoHunt and a couple other cases where the boundaries were not right, off by a couple hundred yards. I don't know if they fixed that or not, but it was the reason I switched back to OnX a couple years ago.
Doublelunger:
I use Google earth in conjunction with onx. Once I locate a general area of interest I scour it with google earth. When I find area's of interest I'll drop pins on my onx app to help me navigate when I'm doing my actual boots on the ground scouting.

I have seen areas where the OnX property lines are off as well so always double check before getting right next to the line.
