BuckSmart predicts present and future deer activity across your land.
Add food plots, bedding, trails, sightings, and more, then let terrain, wind, and thermals reveal where deer are most likely to be. HotStand ranks your stands and plots scent-aware approach paths from home base. Upload trail camera data to further enhance deer activity prediction.
How it works
Four steps from blank parcel to hunt-ready intelligence.
- 01
Map your property
Search your land and draw the boundary. BuckSmart pulls real elevation for a 3D model of your parcel.
- 02
Mark habitat features
Draw polygons for bedding, food plots, cover, water, funnels, and travel corridors.
- 03
Visualize BuckCast map
Terrain, habitat, wind, and thermals already produce a movement forecast with no trail cam photos required.
- 04
Sharpen with trail cams
Upload trail cam photos when you want the model to learn when and where deer actually showed up.

Why BuckSmart?
Outcomes that show up in the stand, not just another map layer.
Predict deer movement
BuckCast turns terrain, habitat, wind, and thermals into a heatmap you can scrub through time.
Spot funnels and bedding
Draw cover and travel corridors once, and the model keeps using them every forecast.
Hunt with a plan
Know where to sit before you enter the woods, not after a wasted sit. HotStand ranks stands and approach paths for the forecast.
Improve with trail cams
Trail cam photos are optional. Add them when you want the model to learn from real buck activity.
Improve year over year
Every trail cam photo you add sharpens your property’s BuckCast profile.
Basic is free. Pro unlocks habitats, trail cams, HotStand, larger maps, and the full BuckCast deer activity forecast.
Hunters already using it
“All the factors I used to track mentally now live on one clean map.”
“The future deer activity maps helped me identify an ideal afternoon stand and a good route to avoid getting scented.”
“The heatmap showed me a spot I never would’ve considered, and it paid off.”
