See It In Action

Six powerful tools built specifically for Tennessee hunters — all in one free app. Browse the features below to see what’s waiting for you.

Tennessee Scout App Today's Dashboard showing open seasons, weather alerts, wind direction, and legal shooting hours

Today’s Dashboard

Know exactly what’s open before you head out. The Today’s Dashboard shows every currently active Tennessee hunting season at a glance, plus real-time weather alerts for your location. Check wind direction and scent drift so you can choose the right stand, and see precise legal shooting hours — sunrise and sunset times calculated for your exact coordinates.

Rut Predictor

Time your hunts around Tennessee’s rut with confidence. The Rut Predictor tracks all six phases — Pre-Rut, Seeking, Chasing, Peak Breeding, Post-Rut, and Secondary Rut — with date ranges tailored to Tennessee’s mid-October through late December rut season. Current moon phase data is overlaid so you can factor lunar cycles into your strategy just like serious hunters do.

Each season card shows legal weapons, bag limits, and special notes. Add any season directly to your Google Calendar so you never miss an opener, and set reminders for seasons that are coming up soon.

Regulations & Reference

Stop digging through the TWRA PDF. The Regulations & Reference section puts searchable hunting rules at your fingertips, organized into clear categories: License Requirements, Hunter Education, Bag Limits, WMA Rules, and General Regulations. Whether you need deer bag limits by unit, legal shooting hours, or hunter education requirements, you’ll find it in seconds.

Public Lands Map

Explore all of Tennessee’s public hunting land on an interactive topographic map. Every WMA in the state is plotted with location details including acreage, county, and special access rules. Switch between Topographic, Satellite, and Terrain 3D views to plan your approach. Drop custom waypoints to mark your favorite stands, food plots, water sources, and scouting spots.

Scout Log

Build a personal scouting database that gets more valuable every season. Log each trip with date, location type (WMA, private, etc.), weather conditions, wind speed and direction, and temperature. Record every species you spot — white-tailed deer, turkey, elk, black bear, wild boar, and more — along with sighting counts, animal behavior notes, and sign found like rubs, scrapes, tracks, and bedding areas.
