Make Smarter Recovery Decisions
When seconds count, smart decisions matter. TRAKR helps you record crucial details and avoid mistakes that could cost you the animal. Use the app to:
✅ Log Animal Behavior After the Shot
Noting how your target reacted to the shot—whether it kicked, jumped, stumbled, or ran—gives trackers key clues about shot placement and injury severity. The app allows you to select from common behaviors and enter quick notes for clarity.
Example: “Mule kick, ran 100 yards, slowed to a walk.”
📍 Mark Last Known Location
TRAKR automatically records your GPS location when submitting a tracker request, giving the team a starting point. You can also drop a pin or describe the area where you last saw the animal—vital if the sign becomes sparse.
Tip: Try to stay near the last known spot without disturbing it.
🎯 Choose Hit Type
The app lets you select the hit type (e.g., lung, liver, gut, leg) or “unknown” if you’re unsure. Combined with behavior and sign, this helps the tracker determine how long to wait before starting and what to expect during recovery.
Bonus: The app provides guidance for each hit type if you’re unsure.
🩸 Upload Sign or Terrain Photos
A photo is worth a thousand words. Use TRAKR to snap images of blood trails, hair, or bedding so your tracker can assess the wound type and progress. You can also photograph terrain obstacles like brush or creeks that may affect the trail.
Pro Tip: Include something for scale—like a boot, glove, or hand.
⏳ Know When to Back Out and Call for Help
One of the biggest mistakes hunters make is pushing a wounded animal too soon. TRAKR reminds you of best practices and offers advice based on hit type, helping you decide whether to track or wait. Knowing when to call for help improves recovery odds—and protects your venison.
