Top rut moved into OnX search tools

[Gila]

I have been using Toprut since it first came out many moons ago. New Mexico has quite a few “specialty” and limited entry seasons for any given units. Since last year I was only having issues with the antelope units search criteria. However now that I need to start hunt planning for this year’s hunts, the search criteria in OnX has become unusable for my intended purposes anyway. I am not usually a complainer but the timing of this integration is impeccably horrendous! I also consider North and South Dakota, Nebraska to be Western States as these three states have Elk, Pronghorn, Mule deer seasons etc. and etc.

Received a nice email back from OnX Hunt. The usual marketing hype. I doubt that New Mexico is the only state they screwed up. Went to huntin’ fool and that was basically the same interface. I can’t really use either one. I have not seen another thread about it. I know it is a recent change like just a few weeks ago. In this state we have “specialty” hunts with primitive weapons and the like. Allocations for tags changes all of the time becuause of this “plus” crap we have to deal with here.

Toprut had all of this search criteria and now it is toast! All of that information is in the handbook and on spreadsheets but who wants to go through the stats on hundreds of hunts…I have not seen GoHunt yet. Willing to dump OnX if it is worth it and If I can import all of my map data. I really don’t have the time to learn a different system right now but I guess if I want any tags, I don’t have a choice.

Same with Arizona, they don’t show the actual draw data or max points round data anymore, they are just showing some hybrid percents which are close to worthless. It’s more nuanced than that, toprut had it right, now it’s ruined. Why buy toprut if they were just going to mess it all up.

What I observed was that apparently “huntin’ Fool” used to be (actually still is) integrated with OnX and the interface is the same minus a few search criteria (very few). I looked at Toprut to get my draw strategy for AZ when I found out that Toprut went “poof”.

Onx bought toprut, huntin fool uses toprut. Onx has discontinued toprut in favor of their own research tools, which are almost useless. I called the first morning they switched and gave him an earful.
