Take the Guesswork
Out of the Hunt.

Contors takes the guesswork out of hunting. Scout — your outdoor assistant — reads your land, wind, weather, and the rut, then tells you exactly where to sit and when. Backed by the Buck Refuge Model. Every call made on data, not a hunch — so you spend less time second-guessing and more time with deer in front of you.

Stop Guessing

Every Hunch, Replaced With an Answer

Wind, weather, terrain, pressure, the rut — the variables that make or break a sit, finally working for you instead of against you. This is how you stop hunting on hope.

See Every Inch of Your Ground

Flip between Google Hybrid, USGS aerial, NAIP, OpenTopo, hillshade, and contour overlays in a tap. Find the benches, points, and pinch points deer actually travel — before you ever set foot on the property and bump the buck you’re after.

Know Where the Bucks Actually Bed

The Buck Refuge Model reads your roads, trails, stands, buildings, and cover, then paints a live heat map: red where pressure pushes bucks out, green where they feel safe enough to bed and move in daylight. Stop guessing where he lives — see it.

Contors Exclusive

Never Get Winded Again

A scent cone off every stand shows exactly where your odor drifts on any wind, and thermal arrows show how it really moves — downhill at dawn, uphill at dusk — on your actual terrain. Pick the tree the wind won’t betray.

Hunt the Days That Actually Produce

Live conditions plus a 16-day forecast, with a Deer Movement Index that scores every hour — cold fronts, pressure swings, dawn windows. Know which sits are worth burning a vacation day on, and which to sleep in for.

Your Whole Property, Dialed In

Map your boundary, food plots, ag, hardwoods, pines, cutover, water, and sanctuaries; pin every stand, blind, camera, scrape, rub, and bed. The more your map knows, the sharper every call Scout makes — and it’s all saved to your account.

Your Game Plan, in Your Pocket

Built for the field — fast, touch-friendly, works on any phone. Add it to your home screen and your whole plan rides along to the stand, synced to your account so nothing’s ever lost.

Your Outdoor Assistant

Meet Scout — Your Edge in the Deer Woods

The industry's first hunting AI

Scout is the assistant the entire app is built around. It reads your map — every stand, bed, and food source, your wind, the live forecast, the rut, even the terrain — tells you exactly where to sit and why, and then runs the app for you. Ask in plain English; it answers like a sharp hunting partner who never sleeps and does the tapping for you.

It reads your whole property
Stands, bedding, food, your wind and the live weather, the rut phase — even the terrain. Scout samples elevation to spot the benches, ridges, and draws that deer actually travel.
It tells you where to sit
Ask “where should I hunt tonight?” and Scout ranks your stands for the current wind and conditions, names the cleanest one, scores it out of 100, and explains the reasoning.
It runs the whole app for you
Drop any marker, draw your property boundary, toggle any map layer, set the wind, plan a hunt, rank your stands, read the terrain, switch or share a property — Scout makes the change and leaves a one-tap undo. It only hands back what needs your finger, like tracing out a shape, or anything it shouldn’t do on its own, like deleting.
Getting Started

From the Couch to the Right Tree

01

Create your free account

Sign up in seconds — no credit card, no commitments. Your maps and markers sync to your account so they follow you across devices.

02

Map it — or ask Scout to

Draw your boundary, mark stands and cameras, trace your cover. Or just tell Scout — “draw my property boundary,” “drop a stand here” — and it sets each one up for you.

03

Ask Scout to read the bucks

Say “turn on the refuge model” and Contors paints a live heat map over your property — red for high human pressure areas bucks avoid, green for the secure bedding and staging zones they favor. It updates live as you add data.

04

Let Scout call the sit

Ask “where should I hunt Saturday evening?” and Contors pulls the forecast wind and temp for that exact hour. Check the Deer Movement Index, confirm your scent cone clears your approach, and walk in with confidence.

The Science

The Buck Refuge Model

Most hunters know pressure kills mature buck activity. Contors quantifies it — and shows you where those bucks go instead.

Pressure sources
Every road, building, ATV trail, walking route, and parking spot creates a pressure gradient using a Gaussian decay model. Roads from OSM auto-scan. Your custom routes and pins add more.
Refuge factors
Thick cover, sanctuaries, pines, and cutover get a cover boost. Food staging bands shift with rut phase. Water proximity adds a bonus. Security is the inverse of pressure — squared, so deer strongly prefer low-intrusion ground.
Live and adaptive
Add a stand, draw a sanctuary, trace a route — the model recalculates immediately. Season shifts (pre-rut, rut, post-rut) change the food staging radius automatically. Your intel, your property, your model.

Advanced Features

Tools No Other App Offers

NWS Weather Radar

Live NEXRAD radar overlay in the classic green-yellow-red precipitation palette. Current conditions only — no animated clutter — refreshing automatically every 5 minutes and whenever you reopen the app.

Deer Movement Index

Each hour in the 24-hour forecast is scored for deer activity — dawn windows, pressure drops, temperature swings, and wind speed combine into a single movement rating. Know your best windows before you leave the house.

Your Data, Your Account

Everything you map — stands, zones, routes, journal entries, and cover shapes — saves to your personal account and syncs across devices. Push an update to the app and your data stays completely untouched.

Best Stand, Right Now

Every stand is scored and ranked for your wind and hunt time — scent geometry to bedding, the stand's best winds, thermal timing and status — and the top pick is flagged ★ Best now. Pick a date and hour to score it on that hour's forecast wind.

Walk-In Navigation

Tap any stand and hit Navigate here: live distance, compass bearing, and an arrow that points the way as you slip in before light. One tap heads back to the nearest parking — your truck — in the dark.

Solunar + Smart Journal

Major and minor feeding periods for every day, rated against your sit. And a journal that auto-captures the wind, temp, moon and rut phase with each entry — so your season's patterns ("most deer on a NW wind") surface on their own.
