Best Times: Hunt & Fish

Best Times tells you when game moves and fish feed - and when the law says you can hunt. The app works out solunar major and minor periods for your exact location, rates every day, and shows the legal shooting light window for your state. Sun and moon times are computed on your device, so they are right whether or not you have a signal. TODAY AT A GLANCE - Major and minor movement periods with start and end times - A five-star rating for the day, weighted differently for hunting and fishing - Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase and illumination HUNT AND FISH MODES Game and fish do not respond to the same conditions. Switch modes and the rating re-weights: fishing leans harder on the moon and on barometric pressure, hunting on cold fronts and calm wind. LEGAL SHOOTING LIGHT The legal window for your state, with the rule it comes from spelled out - "30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset" - for all 50 states. PLAN AHEAD - Seven-day outlook with ratings and major period times - Month view that colours every day from Slow to Prime, so a trip is easy to schedule - Tap any day for its full breakdown HOME SCREEN WIDGET Your next feeding period and today's rating, without opening the app. WEATHER-AWARE RATINGS Pressure trend, wind and temperature against the seasonal normal all feed the day rating. Falling pressure ahead of a front is a feeding spike; a gale is not. IMPORTANT Solunar theory is a planning aid, not a guarantee. Legal shooting hours are provided for convenience and may not reflect current regulations, special seasons, or local rules. Hours vary by state, season, species, and sometimes zone or county, and wildlife management areas can differ. Always confirm with your state wildlife agency before hunting. Free, supported by ads.
