The deer rules for your spot. Not the whole state.

Every state sets deer seasons by area, and the area you are standing in changes everything — the dates, what you may carry, what you may take and what hour you may start. HuntingRulebook takes a pin on a map, works out which state and unit you are in, and shows only the rules that apply there, read from that state's own published digest with the page number kept beside every rule.

Today: which seasons are open at the pin, legal light and the Movement MeterRules: every season in the unit with dates, legal arms and bag limitCalendar: the whole season, down to the days your tags coverWeather: the hour at the pin, the wind and the week ahead

What is under your pin

  • The state, the county and the hunting unit, from the state's own boundaries
  • Public land — its name, who manages it, and whether the public may get on it
  • Property lines in all fifty states, walk-in access programmes and CWD areas
  • Contours, slope, shaded relief, streams and wetlands
  • The hour's wind over the map, and where your scent goes from the pin

What applies there

  • Which seasons are open today, and what you may take
  • Legal arms and ammunition for that unit
  • Legal shooting light worked out for your own latitude and longitude
  • Antler restrictions, hunter orange, Sunday rules, baiting, safety zones and CWD rules
  • The whole season as a calendar — filtered to the days your own tags cover, and exported to your phone's calendar
  • Turkey, elk, bear, waterfowl, upland and small-game season tables for every state

When to go, and where to sit

  • The Movement Meter — how much deer should be moving in daylight at your spot, with every factor shown
  • The rut, dated out phase by phase at your latitude
  • Your own stands ranked on today's wind
  • Weather at the pin: hour by hour, the barometer, the week ahead and a wind rose

In the field

  • Save a map before you leave the truck — USGS aerial imagery with the topo sheet over it — for when the signal goes
  • After the Shot: read the hit, the blood and the hair, and how long to wait before you track
  • A blood-trail camera that highlights blood-coloured pixels, entirely on the phone
  • A tag wallet and a harvest log
  • Dark by default, for the hour before legal light

Free, with no account

This season's release is free: no account, no advertising, and nothing to buy inside it. Your spots, tags and log stay on your phone.

A reading of the digest, not the digest

Every season was read off that state's own 2026-27 digest page by page, then read a second time independently, so a date typed a day out fails the build. It is still a reading rather than the law: always confirm against the official regulations before you hunt. Found something that does not match? Tell us.
