Fishing, hunting app released

Powderhook announced Tuesday the nationwide launch of its mobile application, providing sportsmen and sportswomen hyper-local answers to their outdoor questions. Via the Powderhook app, users now have free access to local information about outdoor events and activities, hunting and fishing opportunities, and free maps of public lands, lakes, and rivers across the country.

"We tried hard to open access to private land, but simply couldn’t make the economics work between buyers and sellers of private access.
