AI-Powered Hunt Planning

Hunting a unit you've
never set foot in?

Glassline compresses 40 hours of e-scouting into a Game Plan you can refine - built on elk-hunting know-how and 40+ public datasets. It does the research. You make the call.
(It's not a magic elk-finder - elk are where elk are.)

E-SCOUTING TODAY

You already have a system.
It just takes too long.

Every elk hunter has been there - hours of staring at satellite images, toggling layers, and cross-referencing information to make the most of their time in the field.

01
CPW PDFs

Harvest stats, DAU analysis, and season data buried in annual PDFs. Cross-referencing gymnastics.

02
Forum Intel

Years-old threads, contradictory data. The best info stays in DMs.

03
Manual Mapping

Hours of staring at Google Earth + onX trying to visualize the situation on the ground.

04
Your Spreadsheet

Powerful, fragile, and only you can read it.

MODERN E-SCOUTING WITH DATA + INTELLIGENCE

Glassline uses AI to streamline the process.

40+ datasets from 10+ agencies at your fingertips. An AI layer that sifts through the data and understands your unique abilities and preferences.

The AI Layer
Cross-Reference Engine

Harvest density × terrain × season × weapon × habitat. Scored and ranked,  automatically.

FWBS Habitat Scoring

Every area scored for what elk need - food, water, breeding cover, shelter - weighted by season. Terrain analysis, not animal tracking.

Pressure & Access Analysis

Trailhead proximity, road access, historical hunter density. Find the quiet drainages everyone else walks past.

Logistics & Access Planning

Drive times, hike-in estimates, camp optimization, drive notes, and approach legs for every play. Every plan scored against your fitness profile.

THE GAME PLAN

A playbook, not a script.

No elk hunt survives its itinerary. Glassline builds a playbook for your unit — glassing routes, timber still-hunts, water ambushes, pressure counters — each with the conditions to run it and the terrain to run it in. You read the mountain. You call the play.

Your Playbook
Unit 61 - 2nd Rifle
PLAY 01: First-Light Glassing
Run When: NW wind, clear morning

Ridgeline vantage at 11,140 ft. Thermal draw holds downslope till ~9:30 — glass south-facing timber edges and meadow openings below.

Boots by 5:40 AM·6.8 mi full-day arc·Moderate
IF elk spotted → stalk plan · IF the lot's crowded → Play 03
PLAY 02: Timber Still-Hunt
Run When: glassing goes quiet, midday thermals shift uphill

North-facing bedding timber, 1.4 mi. Move with the thermals, not against them.

Boots by 9:30 AM·3.2 mi·Steady
PLAY 03: Pressure Counter
Run When: boot tracks, trailhead vehicles, freshly spooked elk

Drop into the steep secondary drainage — the quiet water most hunters walk past.

Boots by 4:50 AM·8.1 mi full-day arc·Demanding

Every play branches — bumped elk, hot bull, blown wind. The next move is already mapped.

Packout Flag
Packout Flag

A kill at the back of Play 03 means ~3.5 hrs per round trip to the trailhead — 4 trips, roughly 2 days solo.

A partner cuts that to 1. Recruit help or line up a packer before committing late in the hunt.

+ Hot-and-dry audible — water-hole ambush
+ Unit blown out — relocate counter
+ Early-season pattern — high-basin feeder
+ Post-storm reset — fresh-snow tracker

7 more plays across 4 hunt areas.

Pressure shows up? Weather turns? The counter is already wired into every play's tree. Adapt mid-hunt in minutes.

Routed to your fitness

Fitness sets the envelope before routing begins: time budgets, climb budgets, approach selection. Plays you can't physically run never make the playbook.

Built on know-how

Tactics encoded from experienced elk hunters, not animal-location data.

What Hunters Are Saying

It is what I have been doing the last few years but using multiple apps, programs, and websites to achieve this. Which included HOURS of staring at aerial photos prior to checking out new areas.

I drew a nonresident tag and had zero intel on the unit. The Game Plan gave me a starting point that would have taken me two full weekends of e-scouting to put together.

The fitness flag alone was worth it. Saved me from planning a hunt I physically couldn't do — and showed me a better access point I never would have found.
