What Hunt Buddy is

Hunt Buddy is educational reference material for hunters: shot placement diagrams, a guide to hunting cartridges, and general guidance on processing meat. It is not instruction, training or professional advice, and it does not replace a professional hunter, a guide, or a hunting or firearm competency course.

Accuracy

The shot placement diagrams, ballistics, TKO figures, weights and ranges in the app are approximations. Where a bullet goes and what it does depends on the rifle, the load, the distance, the angle and the individual animal. The content may contain errors or be out of date. Treat it as a guide, and check it against other sources and your own experience.

Your responsibility as a hunter

You alone are responsible for every shot you take. That includes making sure the shot is safe, legal and ethical, and that you are able to place it.

You are also responsible for following the hunting, firearm and permit laws where you hunt. For example:

• in South Africa, the Firearms Control Act and the nature conservation ordinance or act of the province you hunt in;
• in the United States, the wildlife regulations and licence requirements of the state you hunt in;
• anywhere, the landowner's permission and the rules of the property or concession.

Meat processing

The meat processing guide is general guidance, and food safety remains your responsibility. That includes how you handle, cool, store and prepare the meat, and any local rules on handling or selling venison.

Your settings and Hunt Album

There is no account. Your settings and your Hunt Album exist only on your phone, and in your phone's own backup if you use one. We never receive them, so we cannot restore them for you: uninstalling the app deletes them from the phone, so share an album first if you want to keep a copy. You are responsible for the photos and notes you add, including anything you record about other people. The privacy policy explains what the app keeps.

Content and intellectual property

The text, diagrams, images and data in the app are protected by copyright. You may use them for your own, non-commercial hunting. Do not copy, republish or sell them.

Limitation of liability

Indemnity

Minimum age
