Everything the woods
demand. No signal required.
Boneyard Hunting is a complete field guide for white-tailed deer hunters — 214 articles built on real deer science, a blood-trail recovery tracker, a rut almanac, and glove-friendly quick-reference cards. It all works dead in the timber, no bars.
Eighteen chapters, cover to cover
From first-sit basics to land management — every article cites its sources and works with the phone in airplane mode.
Instruments for the moment of truth
Boneyard isn't a stack of articles you'll never open. It's built for the seconds after the shot, and the hours on stand before it.
When the shot's off, the clock starts.
Log the hit and Boneyard starts an on-screen recovery clock keyed to the wait time that hit actually calls for — and it survives an app kill. Drop GPS blood markers as you go, and a live compass walks you back to the last sign. No cell signal, satellites only.
Time the woods
A calendar-based rut-phase gauge for northern timing — pre-rut, seek, chase, peak, post, and the second rut — so you know whether it's an all-day sit or a midday nap.
Aim small, pass clean
An interactive whitetail anatomy plate with peelable vitals, skeleton, and aim overlays — plus by-angle verdicts that tell you honestly when to pass the shot.
Nine ranges, real tactics
Great Lakes, Corn Belt, Upper South, Deep South, Great Plains, Northeast, Southeast Atlantic, the Mountain West, and the desert Southwest (Coues country) — tactics grounded in local biology and habitat, not campfire anecdote.
Twenty cards for cold hands
Shot-placement chart, go/no-go decision, blood-color guide, wait-times by hit, wind & thermals, rut calendar, deer calls, field-judging, mast calendar, field-dressing steps, and CWD safe handling — big type, big targets, one thumb.
Map your ground, read the wind
Plot your property on a blank field: draw and bend your treelines, trace water and food, drop your stand, and mark other hunters and deer sightings — then watch how the wind carries your scent across the whole setup. Save it, and those stands feed the wind-vs-stand check below.
Seven tools built for the stand
Girth-to-weight yield estimator, rough B&C score range, body-cue age estimator, a wind-vs-stand check against your saved setups, a GPS-based legal shooting-hours countdown, a photo-tagged trail-cam log, and a Season Stats dashboard that tallies your logged hunts, recoveries, and cam sightings — all working offline, right on your phone.
Read the hit. Start the clock.
This is the call Boneyard walks you through the moment after the shot. Tap what you found on the ground.
Choose the blood or sign you found and Boneyard tells you the likely hit, how long to wait, and how to take up the trail. Educational only — the deer, and your judgment, always get the final say.
Honest about the science.
Every claim in Boneyard is labeled for exactly how much you can trust it. Built on the National Deer Association, USGS, CDC, USDA Forest Service, university deer labs, and peer-reviewed research — and upfront when the science is uncertain.
The "October lull," moon-phase theories, and scent-elimination marketing — covered the way GPS-collar research actually describes them, not the way the magazines sell them.
Backed by published studyJournal-grade research, cited by source. When the data is solid, we say so plainly.
Documented in the woodsCollar studies and biologist field notes — strong, but not lab-controlled.
Hunter's craft, honestly labeledHard-won woodsmanship that works — and we won't dress it up as proven fact.
