Software · a side project
Software for people who work outside
Alongside the tree nursery, our family has recently started building web and mobile software for farming, hunting and other rural communities. It’s new and small, and HuntingRulebook.com is the first project.
Current project
HuntingRulebook.com
Every state publishes its hunting regulations, but they’re usually long documents that are hard to use on a phone. HuntingRulebook takes the regulations, season tables and zone maps and turns them into plain answers.
What it answers
-
What are my state’s rules?
Regulations rewritten in readable language, tied back to the source.
-
Can I hunt today?
Season dates and legal hunting days for your species and zone.
-
What is the weather doing?
Conditions and forecast for the spot you’re hunting.
-
Where is the rut?
Rut timing and activity information for planning a sit.
HuntingRulebook is a reference tool. The regulations issued by your state wildlife agency are always the final word.
Screenshots
HuntingRulebook, on the web and on the phone
Drop a pin where you hunt and it shows the zone, seasons, legal hours, wind and rut activity for that spot. These are screenshots of the live site and app.

Capabilities
What we build
We’re small, so we stick to work we know we can do well. This is the kind of thing we’re good at.
Making rules and data readable
Turning regulations, tables and public data into clear, usable information. This is what HuntingRulebook does.
Maps, weather & seasons
Location-based tools that bring maps, forecasts and calendars together in one place.
Farm & orchard records
Spray logs, block records, harvest counts and planting history, the records most growers still keep in a notebook.
Sites for rural business
Websites and small tools for farms, nurseries, outfitters and co-ops.
Our own products
HuntingRulebook is our first, and we’re working on more.
How we work
How a project works
You talk directly to the person writing the code, and you’ll see a working version early enough to make changes.
-
Understand the problem
What are you doing today, on paper or in a spreadsheet, that this should replace?
-
Start small
A first version that solves the biggest problem, with a clear scope and price.
-
Regular check-ins
You’ll get something to try early on, and regular updates along the way.
-
Launch and support
Farming and hunting software has to hold up for a full season, so we stick around after launch to fix what comes up.
Looking ahead
What’s next
HuntingRulebook is our first product, and more are in progress. Each one starts with something we or our neighbors need.
If you have a problem in farming, hunting, forestry or land management that keeps costing you time, we’d like to hear about it.
Hiring us for a project
We take on a few client projects each year alongside our own work. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you early.
