The best hunting app for Ontario

Most of Ontario is Crown land, and most of it has no cell service. A good Ontario hunting app shows where Crown land is, which WMU you’re in and what’s closed, and keeps working when the bars run out. HuntGrid does all three, free.

What a hunting app needs in Ontario

What Ontario hunters ask for most, and how HuntGrid answers it.

  • Unpatented Crown land

    Ontario’s unpatented Crown land from the province’s open data, with provincial parks, conservation reserves and other protected areas on top.

  • WMU boundaries

    Every Wildlife Management Unit on the map, so you always know which WMU you’re in, offline too.

  • Ontario air photos

    The province’s own aerial imagery under your pins and land layers, for finding cut-overs, beaver ponds and old roads.

  • Who to ask

    Where land may need permission, the card links to Ontario’s land registry so you can look up the owner.

Also on the map

  • Works with no signal

    Most hunting country in Canada has no cell service. Download your areas with topo, land, your pins and the forecast before you go.

  • Canadian weather

    Environment Canada forecasts, live wind at weather stations, radar, alerts, wildfires, smoke and Canada’s fire danger rating.

  • Wind and scent

    A scent cone from your stand hour by hour, and the best stand for today’s wind.

  • Free, one price for all of Canada

    Every layer and tool is in the free plan, and there are never per-province fees.
