Quiver Hunting App is a mobile app I built for the whitetail fanatics. It's a weather and tracking tool all combined into one easy to use app. I started this because I wanted to combine my product experience with my passion for hunting and fishing. I know these users extremely well, and I felt there was an opportunity to build a better mobile app for hunters.
Think Strava or Map My Run but for hunting. It's a tool that allows hunters to easily track their time in the woods while also providing real time weather data within the app. This combination of data allows hunters to track their season and better understand deer movement where they hunt.
Above are the home screens of the app where the user can add their various hunting locations and monitor the weather for those given areas.
For those not too familiar with whitetail hunting, it's typically a stationary form of hunting where hunters are perched up in a treestand. A lot of the time is spent patiently sitting trying to intercept deer moving throughout the day - typically from bedding to feeding. Most successful hunters I know are already documenting their hunts by either keeping an actual journal or typing notes on their phone, documenting the type of weather, what they're seeing and when deer are moving. A simple mobile app to track all of this becomes a powerful tool for the hardcore whitetail hunter.
Here are the core screens where a user can start to document their hunt. From the main timeline view, the user can add various activities to keep track of their hunt.
On top of that, weather patterns play a big role in triggering deer activity. The changing conditions, wind direction, barometric pressure and moon phase are all part of the the mystery of deer movement. Combining what users are recording in the app and known weather events, we can start to look at and analyze what types of these events trigger peak deer movement. We publish all our analysis on the Quiver Blog.
