“We spend a ton of time every year hunting and hiking on our public lands, and the government lands layers in the Hunt App help us quickly identify which type we’re on. Whether it’s BLM, state, forest service, WMAs, etc, there’s different regulations for each, so it’s critical to know exactly where you stand.”
