    I have run across this a number of times.  Seems to happen at least once on every hunt.  I hike in mile(s) into some non-motorized area, and some ATV comes buzzing up 20 minutes after sunrise only to disturb my area.  I usually just shrug it off- just chock it up to hunting on public land.  We all run into that.

    This last hunt, I was with my boys on a junior hunt.  It was a bummer to see a group with a couple of juniors running quads in a restricted area. 

    How do you guys handle these situations?  I am probably going to continue to do nothing in the future, but curious if you all have opinions/actions.

    I wasn't trying to be a jerk here and the app is interesting. My directionally-challenged wife would love this.

    That said, I don't know that anything could be better than UTMs in the field. Share them as screenshot or text when you can or over radio when you can't. All GPS units and cell phone apps can utilize them and a good map has them referenced around the extent. The location is discrete and it actually means something, like how many meters away are your coordinates from mine and in what direction.

    I'm not sure I want to lean on telling my hunting partners to go back to cell service and find out where flourite.cornbagger.naturegirl is to navigate across a canyon using a separate app's idea of how to get there.

    Hahaha.  Love it.

     

    Nice part of this app is that it is all on the phone- no internet connection needed (I believe).

    Are coordinates that tough to figure out?

    I can see your point, but have you ever had an issue with differing software or devices having slightly different world projections?  I have.

     

    Using the same free software can avoid this, plus the software gives your directions to get to any spot.  seems pretty helpful to me.

    Just came across an app called What3words.  Amazing. 

    you can define any 3m2 square of land on earth with 3 words.  Definitely going to use this next time I am out.  Would be great for telling others where you are.  I know you can send waypoints through onX (I have that too), but texting 3 words to show your buddies a location would be awesome.
