Ditching GoHunt

[Forkyfinder]

Most the time im chasing odds try for 10 tags at 5% draw odds so I should draw about every other year. I tweak it each year as I get more points so always applying for better units. Try doing that across 9 states without a service such as go hunt

Stupid question - do you notice people odds flopping?

I guess what i mean is - say a unit y has 100 applicants in 2023 and 10 tags.... As compared to 1000 for 5 in other unit x. Do people rush to unit Y because they all see at had better odds?

I haven’t had GoHunt for quite a while, since before they started maps. I’m good with OnX, but also downloaded Spartan Forge just to give it a go.

The lidar stuff is pretty cool. Found a couple water holes, a wallow, and perfect bedding benches in my elk area that I’ve hunted for 5 years and never knew they were there.

Often, yes

For some yes depending on the tag a lot I don’t look at that more the % trends for drawing

I have seen a few places here and there where there is discrepancy between the boundaries shown on onx and the physically surveyed and marked boundaries on the ground. What causes this?

I assume in those cases that the county GIS info would also not match the physical survey markers.

I think just some plain ol map updating as normal. And I think this is where OnX is king. Their product is the map while GH provides data including a map. More resources on the map while theirs is spread between the filtering, shop and a map.

My 2 cents….

I have complaints about both. I miss when onX would let you download maps by the section. I pay for onX for the maps when im in the field and I pay for Gohunt strictly for the filtering 2.0 and looking for tags to apply for. I’m also the idiot that pays for it and let’s about 4 other guys use it

Diminishing returns on gohunt, I’m interested how they will change the user model to keep subscribers.

Sell more stuff through the gear shop and monetize hunting videos; but the owners aren’t exactly hurting for money

Watching dudes hunt doesn’t seem sustainable.

I've stayed with OnX since Randy first promoted a startup mapping service back whenever.
I'm a loyal subscriber. If it works, don't fix it. OnX has ALWAYS been 100% with their service.
Gohunt? Meh, a buddy had it, dumped it and returned to OnX. Enough for me. I'm not interested in massive phone action while hunting.
I'll say this though, most I hunt is maybe 2, maybe 3 States at the most. I can do that using the same principle as @Forkyfinder . Excel sheet works fine. Maybe for those such as @Khunter Programs that help juggle many apps - i understand the interest for the best service(s).
