PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) The practice of hunting is one that is linked to human survival and extends far beyond pre-historic times. Despite the history of this art, new technology continues to innovate the sport, providing hunters with greater proficiency and resources to track down prized game. A recent article from The Star Gazette highlights the greater presence of smartphone applications that serve this very purpose. Although many of these mobile device apps are created by state government wildlife organizations, some hunters are not keen on relying on these resources to improve the hunt. Experienced hunter and inventor of Game Glide --the first ultra-light deer sled--Jason Proch provides his thoughts on the extent new technology should play in the hunting world.
According to the article, wildlife-focused state departments from Wisconsin, Indiana, Georgia, Arkansas and South Dakota, have already created an array of mobile apps that can help hunters along their treks. These smartphone apps are noted to carry many capabilities, with features including time tracking, mapping, regulation information, hunting license applications and species specifications. In the article, Karl Brooks, chief deputy warden for Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, explains the benefits of these apps, "It's a handy little device and it does all the addition of times because as you move across the state of Wisconsin from east to west, or west to east, or north to south, the [hunting] times vary depending on location. What you see on your smartphone is when you can pull the trigger."
Although Jason Proch is a fan of technology in terms of business development and modern resources, he remains uncertain about the need for such apps. Still, he explains that technology has improved his overall hunting experience. Proch notes, "Since my free time is at a premium, I have used the Internet for many years while planning to optimize my hunting experience. Yet, while I am in the field, I am focused on 'the field' and do not find much time for browsing or searching the Internet."
In the article, other hunters note that some technology can pose obstacles if relied upon too much. Wisconsin hunter Otto Bowe tells The Star Gazette, "[Smartphones] are useful to a point, but you have to remember they run on batteries. If you are not going out fully charged or you dunk your phone, you are probably going to lose everything on it. A compass will still work 100 percent of the time."
Although Jason Proch admits he would like to try out the Indiana Department of Natural Resource's free iPhone app, he notes that the technology still has a long way to go before it becomes truly reliable. Proch concludes, "I often find myself hunting big game in locations that do not have any cell phone service and I do not miss it."
