This is an updated video walkthrough and review of the Spartan Forge App for hunting, which has gone through several significant updates since it's initial launch just a few years ago. Mapping is one of the biggest app features. Users can customize their map based on 4 different satellite/aerial maps, topo or LiDAR, contour lines down to 10ft resolution, public and private land boundaries, crop data, hunt units, and more. Like most mapping apps, you can track routes and manage waypoints. You can also create shared groups for quickly sharing pins in real time. The Intel portion of the app has both historical and forecasted wind and weather information along with AI powered deer movement prediction. In-app journaling allows you to document important hunt details while automatically tagging the weather information.

Excellent video. It’s come a long ways. Thanks for making it awesome.

@minncrew 5 месяцев назад

Been using Spartan Forge on and off over the last few years. See you updates frequently is awesome to see and excited to see what is coming in the future! Great Video

@JimmyGammons 5 месяцев назад

Good timing. My On-X sub just ended and I have been debating on trying Spartan Forge.

@Dmoore37 5 месяцев назад

By far my favorite hunting app!

@efxanim8tor 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, very detailed and will most likely prompt me to get the paid version. I'm an old guy @55, but a real stable genius. I thought you did a great job in a short video outlining the features of the app and the desktop version. Great work!

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@bradyschumann9625 5 дней назад

Nice!

@efxanim8tor 5 месяцев назад

In addition, i don't see anywhere on mobile app or desktop for user feedback or support. I definitely have some ui and gui input to give you. Thanks.

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Just checked in and they're working on adding feedback links directly (so you don't have to go to the Contact form on the website).

@marcgulko6893 5 месяцев назад

Got a ? On Comparing to HuntStand and basemap. In HuntStand, you can have a specific page or screen just for one hunt area, it will have all your pins, tracks, ect. If you go to another spot, you can have another with just that info. On Basemap, all of your pins, tracks, ect. Are all on the same overall map. How does spartan forge handle your different hunt areas? Thanks Garrett

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Hi Marc, on Spartan Forge you have everything visible at once across the country unless you choose to hide anything. So it's more similar to Basecamp in that regard. However, with the Blue Force Tracker feature, you can set up individual hunt areas, with the intent to automatically share the pins in the boundary with others.

@williamstormoen140 4 месяца назад

Just got a subscription. Was just looking around on my phone and noticed it doesn't mark Managed Forest law(MFL) when looking for public lands. That could be just a Wisconsin thing.

@DIYSportsman 4 месяца назад

They're working on that currently. The challenge with the MFL type land is that even though WI marks their approximate location with a pin on their website, usually only parts of a parcel are in the program, and the actual boundaries are hand draws maps uploaded as PDFs. So it's a big effort getting it all in. Going through that process, I've actually seen where other apps have the MFL/VPA boundaries that don't match the state's files, so it's always good to double check the state's website on those to be certain.

@laurenchapple8244 5 месяцев назад

I am currently using HuntStand and want to import my pins and other data to Spartan Forge. I’m unable to create an export file in HuntStand. Is there a way to create the file and if not how else can I move the HS data?

@stevec7543 4 месяца назад

I recently got into Spartan Forge vs the other company I was using. I have the Water overlay selected, but it only shows me larger bodies (Lakes, ponds) but it doesn't show any of the creeks feeding thru mountains into these. Any clue what I might be missing that will make these show up?

@DIYSportsman 4 месяца назад

For the most part, the source data that makes up the water overlay would be similar to what would show up on the topo layer. I just checked some of the drainage that I've hunted in Colorado that had drainage creeks with hardly any running water in them some years that showed up, but you do need to be zoomed in enough for them to display. If I zoom out far enough they hide.

@joehorton01 5 месяцев назад

I wish the tracker was more customizable. Some times i mark a trail from the truck. Some times i am mapping a deer trail. Sometimes i just want to see how far i walk in a day. I like being able to change the color and "bread crumb" dotted dashes etc. Any discussions about adding this in the future?

@joehorton01 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Garrett. You make great videos. Some of these folks just seem technologically impaired.

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

To answer your question... yes. That is on the development list, along with being able to adjust line/polygon appearance. I don't have a timetable for when it will be implemented though.

@328am 5 месяцев назад

I need more user friendly shapes. I hunt in very tight areas and I need to mark off my 500ft discharge distances from dwellings before I head into the woods. This is the one feature that SF lacks and keeps me on Basemap T_T

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Appreciate the feedback. I chatted with one of the engineers, and radius drawing along with other track and line/polygon editing features are on the development list but I don't know the time table yet.

@laurenchapple8244 4 месяца назад

When using the app during scouting and dropping pins, I could not find icons for buck rubs nor non-community scrapes. Will additional icons be added to allow more detailed pins. How do I add lines to show trails, deer and otherwise?

@DIYSportsman 4 месяца назад

For the pins, those are all in the full list. If you aren't seeing the non-community or buck rub icons, they might just not be in your "Recent" list. You can find them under: Animals > Deer. Then after you've used them, they'll show up under the Recent list as well. For the lines, right now the only option is using the measurement tool and saving the line you create. You can add notes to designate if it's a deer trail, access trail, etc. But they're also working on additional options to allow for lines and polygons where you can change the color and type, like dotted or dashed.

@laurenchapple8244 4 месяца назад

@@DIYSportsman Thanks for the quick reply! I do enjoy your RU-vid channel.. hmm, nope, I don’t have them in the full list for Deer..17 icons, three happen to be camera icons, but no “buck rub” nor simply “scrape”. Could it be because I’m using the free version?

@laurenchapple8244 4 месяца назад

Dah! 😳Found ‘em. Scroll right!🤗

@brianguest238 Месяц назад

What apps are guys using to keep track of their out of state points?

@DIYSportsman Месяц назад

I just use a spreadsheet on Google Drive for that personally. Can access with my laptop or phone and just update whenever I buy a new point.

@efxanim8tor 5 месяцев назад

Just tried to pick a plan and add your DIY promo code. Won't accept it. Any thoughts?

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Did you try it on the computer or on mobile? You may need to input it on the computer. If that isn't the issue, I will look into it.

@efxanim8tor 5 месяцев назад

Correct, won't do it on mobile app, but does it if I login on desktop. Might want to point that out for folks or add to the app side. Thanks!

@youtoober87 5 месяцев назад

Is BFT only for paid accounts or can I invite unpaid members to join a team?

@spartanforgeai 5 месяцев назад

Yes, its an expensive feature that we need a customer base that pays to support.

@youtoober87 5 месяцев назад

Can you invite free tier members to a BFT? and if so, what limitations are there for them? I'm a paid member

@spartanforgeai 5 месяцев назад

Paid only, sorry, its an expensive feature that we need a customer base that pays to support.

@jimowens381 5 месяцев назад

I have huntstand and as a non-milennial I just can't figure it out.

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Hopefully videos like this help 👍 The best way to learn is by doing, but there are usually always questions or sticking points when picking up something new. A know a few guys who are more old school who may just utilize mapping apps for studying the landscape or aerial photos but then still use map/compass/notebook when in the field.

@gregklena4962 5 месяцев назад

I would say just try it out. Best way to learn.

@doncook3584 5 месяцев назад

Yikes many folks learn by doing. You can talk for weeks on the finer points of driving. I have to put it in gear. The first 1:45 went by in like 10 seconds. There are only a few words in that time which I could understand. Sorry you’re not an instructor at least about this cousin of OnX

@DIYSportsman 5 месяцев назад

Well, it is tough to digest everything in a concise 20 minute video. Using the app is the best way to learn, but I usually see that people may still have a question on using a certain feature, hopefully they'd just be able to jump onto a video like this, jump right to the time stamp talking about the feature in question, and be able to see it done in more detail.

@doncook3584 5 месяцев назад

@@DIYSportsman thanks. I tried a free trial but that level didn’t have much and if you wanted wheels steering brakes lights air etc those are way more than I could afford
