New Hampshire & Massachusetts · In development

The deer hunter's map.

Every hunting app maps public land. Two things they all do badly are the reason this one exists: live party location for the deer drive, and offline maps that actually work when there's no signal in the woods.

Want it when it's ready? Get on the list.

A drive in progress: drivers pushing, standers holding, everyone visible. Illustration — the app is in active development.

The two things it's built for

Everything else on this page is table stakes. These are the bets.

Planned

See your buddies, live

Real-time party location on the map. Built for the New England deer drive — standers and drivers moving through thick cover, where knowing exactly where everyone is stops being a convenience and starts being a safety feature.

Planned

Offline maps that actually work

The woods do not have bars. Download once, before you leave the truck, and have the whole map — topo, imagery, boundaries — in your pocket with no signal at all.

Shipped

Public land, mapped properly

47,713 public-land parcels across New Hampshire and Massachusetts — federal, state, county and town — shaded by who owns them.

Shipped

Tap any parcel

Tap a piece of ground and get its name, its owner, the acreage of that parcel and of the whole holding, and its access status.

Shipped

Real topo, real imagery

USGS National Map topo and satellite layers. Contours, wetlands, brooks, logging roads — the detail you actually navigate by.

Where you may actually hunt

Public ownership is not the same thing as huntable. We are joining the map against NH Fish & Game and MassWildlife data so the app can tell you the difference — and say “unknown” when it does not know.

Planned

Private parcels and owner names

Property lines so you know where the boundary is, and owner names so you know whose door to knock on. Free in NH and MA — which is exactly why we started here.

Planned

Stands, cameras, sign, kills

Waypoints that match how you actually hunt, synced between your phone and the web so you can plan at the kitchen table.

Why New Hampshire and Massachusetts first

The hard, expensive part of a national hunting map is private parcel and owner data. In these two states, it's free and it's public.

MassGIS publishes statewide standardized tax parcels with owner information. NH GRANIT publishes an assessor-sourced parcel layer. Public land comes from the states' own GIS and from USGS. So the whole map — public land and who owns the private ground next to it — can be built here properly, without cutting a national data licence.

It also happens to be home. This is being built by someone who hunts this ground.

What we won't fake

Public ownership is not the same thing as you may hunt here. Plenty of apps blur that line. Where Brow Tine doesn't yet know whether a parcel is legally huntable, it says so — out loud, on the parcel card — instead of guessing. Getting that wrong isn't a bug. It's a citation, or worse.

Built in the open

Where the app actually is today. This page updates as things ship.

  1. A real map, with public land on it

    ShippedMilestone 1

    USGS topo and satellite basemaps, 47,713 NH + MA public-land parcels, and tap-to-identify. Renders and pans smoothly on device.

  2. Huntability, not just ownership

    Building nowMilestone 2

    Joining public ownership against NH Fish & Game and MassWildlife data. The app will say “unknown” rather than guess — this is the one thing we will not fake.

  3. Private parcels + owner names

    PlannedMilestone 3

    The full MassGIS and NH GRANIT parcel layers: boundaries and owners.

  4. Waypoints

    PlannedMilestone 4

    Stands, cameras, sign and kills — stored on device first, so they work offline.

  5. Accounts and sync

    PlannedMilestone 5

    The backend that lets your phone and the web see the same map.

  6. Live party location sharing

    PlannedMilestone 6

    Create a party, invite your buddies, see everyone live on the drive.

  7. Offline map downloads

    PlannedMilestone 7

    Vector tiles packaged for the field. Airplane mode is the test.

  8. Web planning dashboard

    PlannedMilestone 8

    Plan at home on a big screen; watch the party from basecamp.

Be there for the first season.

Leave your name and email and we'll get in touch when Brow Tine is ready to test. No noise, no list-selling — just the app, when it's real.
