Features
How does HuntCast work?
HuntCast is ProHunt’s proprietary AI hunt prediction engine. It uses a proprietary multi-factor formula — confirmed inputs include wind conditions, moon phase, and barometric pressure, plus additional undisclosed variables — and produces one universal hunt score for your location.
HuntCast produces one universal hunt score from 0–100. A score of 70+ is good; 85+ is exceptional. The app highlights the best hunting windows automatically so you never have to interpret the raw data yourself.
Free shows 3 days. Pro shows 16 days with best hunting windows highlighted automatically.
What is the scent cone feature?
The Scent Cone Pro visualises in real time how wind carries your human scent from your position. A cone radiates downwind from where you stand, showing the area where game could detect your presence — use it to pick a spot the wind favours.
The Scent Cone shows real-time scent dispersion on the map, helping you pick a stand that stays out of the wind.
What GPS collars work with dog tracking?
ProHunt works with Bluetooth LE and cellular/satellite GPS collars — including Garmin Alpha, Tracker G500 and G1000, MiniFinder, Tractive, PetFon, Fi, and off-brand budget collars. You do not need premium hardware; affordable collars work too.
Setup: follow the on-screen pairing steps for your collar, then ProHunt displays up to 10 dogs on the hunting map in real time, with position pins and recent track lines.
Does ProHunt work offline?
Yes. Pro subscribers can download map regions before heading into the field. Waypoints, hunt journal entries, track recordings, and cached weather data all work without cell signal. Data syncs automatically when you reconnect.
How does Team GPS & SOS work?
Create a team in the app and share the 6-character invite code with your hunting partners. Once everyone joins, all team member positions appear on a shared live map.
The SOS button, free for all users, sends your GPS coordinates and a custom message to one contact you choose with one tap.
Team GPS and SOS require cellular data or Wi-Fi. In remote areas without signal, always carry a satellite communicator as backup. ProHunt SOS supplements — it does not replace — standard emergency safety equipment.
How many dogs can ProHunt track at the same time?
ProHunt Dog Tracking Pro tracks up to 10 dogs simultaneously. Each dog appears as a colour-coded pin on the map with its real-time GPS position. Compatible collars include Garmin Alpha, Tracker G500/G1000, MiniFinder, Tractive, PetFon, Fi, and off-brand BLE/cellular collars.
How many members can a ProHunt team have?
A ProHunt team can have up to 20 members (including the team leader). All members must have a Pro subscription to access the shared map, live positions, team chat, and cabin booking. Members join using the team’s 6-character invite code, which never expires.
What features work without a cell signal?
Pro subscribers can download map regions for offline use (up to 500 MB per download). Downloaded maps, saved waypoints, Hunt Journal entries, the last downloaded HuntCast forecast, and cached Wind and Scent Cone data all work without a cell signal. Live updates to HuntCast, wind and scent cone, and team GPS positions require a data or Wi-Fi connection.
How many emergency contacts can I set for SOS?
SOS is configured with one emergency contact of your choosing — a family member, a hunting partner who stays behind, or anyone you trust. When triggered, ProHunt sends your GPS coordinates and a custom message to that contact. SOS is free for all users and requires a data connection to send.
