An example of the 2023 wildfire layer on GOHUNT Maps web.
Navigate the state layers, select "Wildfires," then the year you're interested in.
While all hunters are currently deep into application season, the 2024 hunting season will be here before we know it and that means it’s time also to start diving into maps. Using maps while researching for hunts is a great tactic, and it’s never too early to start doing your mapping research once you have a tag already in your pocket.
We are excited to announce that we just released our 2023 Nationwide Wildfire Layer to GOHUNT Maps on the web and on our mobile app. This information can aid in your mapping research this fall and even down the road as these burns age.
Accessing our Wildfires layer is super easy on both our mobile app and on the web. Below I'll walk through a quick example of how to find this information on our mobile app.
Open the app and select Library. The Library drawer will open. Next, select the state you're interested in.
Scroll down the bottom of the layers, and you'll see "Wildfires." Tap that, and a new section will open showing wildfire layers broken out by year. Select any combination of years, in this case, 2023, and then I might adjust the layer transparency at the top.
Tip: when looking at wildfire layers in the mobile app or on the web, you can tap on the wildfire layer and then select the "Wildfires" tab, and it will give you information about the wildfire, like the name, year, and acres burned.
