Very cool app, thanks for all the work put into this and sharing for free!
New Deer Stalking App - First Light
- Thread starter smengal
- Start date
Sohaib I have just put two and two together and remembered you from the sim days.
Glad you have enjoyed your stalking journey enough to create something like this and give back. Useful tool and well designed.
My only suggestion would maybe be pages regarding finding the nodes and the diseases like liver fluke etc. kind of like the info in the BDS field guide that every stalker should have, but we all leave at home.

Really enjoying using it - user friendly, concise, and easy to navigate. Deer Forecast does seem to be fairly spot on and predicts movement times and intensity fairly well. Nice to be able to start taking into account other factors rather than just whether is is raining or not 
, all helps to build up a picture of habits and routines on the ground.
Good result from last night as well

I’ve been using this quite a bit over the last few weeks and have to say it’s really well put together. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into it and it actually focuses on the things you want when you’re heading out, rather than trying to do too much.
The legal times and at a glance conditions are what I’ve found most useful. It’s the sort of thing you can quickly check without faffing about between different apps, which is half the battle when you’re deciding whether to get up early or not.
The design is also spot on. Clean, simple, and intuitive. It doesn’t feel cluttered like some of the other apps out there.
Really interested to see where you take it next. If the upcoming update builds on what’s already there, it’s going to be a very handy tool for a lot of people on here.
Many thanks, good effort.

Thanks for the app, very useful! are you aware if there is anything similar to this available to download for a garmin watch. They do already have a “hunt” feature but has nowhere near as much useful information as first light.
Thanks for any advice

I look at what I have shoot on what block also often will swing pass different parts of the farms for a bit of intel and note what is out there,
this is all dusk stalking so I rotate the areas also according to the wind/rain which is key.
It is a East wind so this evening I will go to " xyz" block as not been there for 3 weeks but shot 2 deer there last trip.
When I go in the mornings which is rare as I work for my self so I can go fix stuff in the mornings or look at a job to make a plan then stalk in the dusk.
These things are interesting but from what I have read only for mornings which is just 2/3 hrs from a day, like today with the plus the extra hrs being from Sunrise 05:15 Sunset 20:34.
