## Hunt Buddy BC Description
Hunt Buddy BC is a better way to read the Hunting Regulations Synopsis for British Columbia, Canada.

Offline topographic maps and other mapping goodies available by In-App Purchase.

Use your device's GPS to tell you what MU you're in, or pick an MU from a list or off the map. See at a glance everything you need to know about a Management Unit:

- Open seasons - dates, bag limits, and more
- Links to detail maps
- Motor vehicle, shooting and other restrictions
- Sunrise/sunset and moon phases

Pick any date to see the seasons & restrictions that will be in effect when and where you're planning to hunt. You don't have to flip back and forth through the tables and maps - it's all there, and it's organized so you can find what you need quickly and easily. The open season list and season detail page have quick links into the Synopsis for definitions, restrictions, maps and more.

The 2024-2026 Regulations Synopsis and 2025-2026 Limited Entry Hunting (LEH) Synopsis are also included.

Optional In-App Purchases

- LEH Zone Boundaries: Download the full set of LEH zones and choose which ones to display on the map.

- Mapping Package: Downloadable topo maps. Parks, protected areas, recreation sites and trails. Tracks and pins (waypoints). User configurable map servers. Record tracks and pins using your device's built in GPS. Import / export tracks and pins in GPX format. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Note that Hunt Buddy BC is not a legal document, and is not affiliated with or sanctioned by the Province of British Columbia. It's an easier way to interpret the Regulations Synopsis published by the Province. The Wildlife Act and Regulations (and other federal, provincial and local laws) are the final authority in case of any discrepancies.

## Hunt Buddy BC Reviews in Canada

### *---- "Downloading tiles"
The app says downloading tiles should be fixed Jan9 …. Still encountering problems: tiles failed to download.    🙁
-- TravelAndSave, 2025-01-11

### *---- "Not worth the money"
Images are blurry and can’t download maps
-- Hdheheigdhdkw, 2024-10-14

### ***** "Works good."
Some times can be slow on updates when new regs come out
-- lukas broadway, 2024-10-11

### *---- "Tracking hasn’t worked for a couple years"
Tracking doesn’t work. The app is out of date. Very disappointed that such a great app has been neglected.
-- not working so far, 2024-10-08

### **--- "Update the app"
Great app until the map downloads stopped working, maybe update the app so that people can actually use what they paid for. Figure it out.
-- TastyAcids34, 2024-09-25

### *---- "Update"
No updates, don’t waste your money
-- Barca2016, 2024-08-07

### *---- "Was a great app but they aren’t updating"
I used to rely on the app for a number of hunting seasons. Not they are not updating the hunting synopsis and LEH synopsis.  These are vital pieces of information and without them updating I don’t use the app. I feel like I wasted my money buying the extra map package and don’t recommend this app anymore.
-- Bc big boy hunter, 2024-07-28

### ****- "What’s going on?"
I’ve been using Hunt Buddy for years and love it but lately I’ve noticed that they are not updating the information in a timely fashion. The LEH Synopsis and Hunting Regulations are out dated. They always had the Elk Bugle to notify you that the LEH draws were out and that the draw has been made which was a cool feature that we all look forward to hearing. Not sure what’s going on there but we would appreciate it if you updated the information on the APP.
-- CandyKrew17, 2024-07-23

### ***** "It’s great. No subscriptions, needs an update"
One of the last great apps I use without a subscription. It needs an update. I love how I can use everything offline. 

If the nickel and dimes don’t work, I’d pay $5 a year for this. Or next time the creator is in Revelstoke, I’ll get them a beer.
-- John Hordyk, 2024-07-04

### ***-- "Be careful"
Love how handy the app is but this year they did not put the updated LEH synopsis on the alp and because it says 2023-2024 on top, many people assumed it was current and used those hunt codes. There is now lots of people with hunting trips authorized in areas very far from where the thought they were putting in for! This really makes it hard to trust any info on the app if something so big is missed like this.
-- J-hunt bc, 2024-06-24

### ****- "Good Thoughts - Needs Updating"
I’ve been using Hunt Buddy for several years and have found some of its features such as tracking very useful. 

Some things that I think this app needs for improvement is updating symbols for drop points, such as a foot for trail markers, other species maybe moose, sheep, bear etc. 

I’ve also ran into some serious challenges with confirming what is and isn’t private land. The app may not be completely current as I’ve been told multiple times that BC Assessment is the most recent information to confirm crown/private land and those don’t show the same on this app.
-- DINKLE2909, 2024-05-08

### ***-- "Don’t buy the maps"
You can’t download satellite for offline, you need to dig a bit before realizing this, and it’s not mentioned in the area where they ask you to purchase. Great resource otherwise, but that is a shady way of doing things, 95% of people will be purchasing for satellite
-- Mmabrock, 2023-09-17

### ***** "Incredible detail on maps"
Download different resolutions and layers for offline use. Medium resolution is absolutely fine for exploring and atv’ing new areas.
Still Use it all the time when i head out to new country.
-- Prince George, 2023-07-05

### ***** "Excellent App"
Awesome that the maps were updated! 😎👍😎👍⭐️👍
-- TravelAndSave, 2023-05-02

### ***-- "Amazing but has some new glitches"
Amazing app newer update definitely has some serious map functionality flaws though not sure if its a new app update or the new ios that messed it up but somewhere it got all gibbled up
-- Daymon250123, 2023-04-23

### *---- "No customer support"
Paid for the app and the extra map package but the private land map i needed just says tiles unavailable. There no contact info for customer support in the app or on the developers website
-- cal.s123, 2023-04-05

### ***** "Great for anything off-road"
Not just for hunting!!
I use this app for elevations and dirt biking trails. It’s literally got everything on it.
It shows you public roads, FSR’s, gravel roads, dirt bike trails, man made trails, hiking trails, and all camping spots. It labels everything and it’s extremely easy to navigate. This app even allows you to click on a certain camping spot and see what there is to do there. Whether or not there is a fire ban, or, if the campsite is open/closed. Idk what you can’t do on this app but it isn’t much.
Buy the full package. 100% worth the money.
-- lvl99brandon, 2022-09-16

### ***** "Very nice app I have been using since first day I started hunting"
Very nice app I have been using since first day of my hunt never had any issues app have everything we need to know on our hunting trips and I am waiting for new updates on new regulations
-- resesean, 2022-07-14

### ***** "Very good app"
If you hunt in BC you need Hunter Buddy BC.
-- Gfnord, 2022-06-15

### *---- "Save your money"
Map pack is a complete waste of time, won’t download to your phone, won’t even update roads when you’re in service just shows the large mains, won’t track like it says, yet that’s the least of my worries, save your money
-- Ryan357864, 2021-09-13
