Warning On-X Hunt

[CarsonChris]

My hunting buddy got kicked off a piece of property the other day that showed BLM ownership. The owner of the property said it's been a common occurrence with hunters using On-X. The good thing was it gave an easy out.

Bummer. Thanks for the heads up

That's a shame. Well when it's private it's private. I wonder if he went to the owners if he might gain permission to hunt there. Never hurts to ask.

I found some former city owned land near my place is now privately owned. Watch out for the paperwork lag times as well, it takes a while to update the property tax records when a property is sold.

I love OnX Hunt - been using it as a valuable detecting tool for years to help determine public from private land, property owner names & addresses for permissions, etc. That said, it is wise to keep firmly in mind that OnX is definitely not a definitive source of up-to-date info. In certain situations it's always well worth taking the time to double check the local auditor's website to verify a property's status

Was thinking of subscribing but keep putting it off. Question-does it ever provide phone numbers ? Or only addresses?

only tax address.

OnX is only as good as the input. My own property and 3 neighbors are all off. County input that X uses is off.

Does anyone use a different program? Now after 5 years of buying the Connecticut state, they put ads on the start up screen. Found it hard this am to get to my deer stand with an ad over my route. I emailed them and they said sorry, "we need to keep the lights on and pay the employees". So, now I am looking for a different program.

Regrid (play store) is free but does not provide anything other than owner's name....so you would have to search from there, but it will tell you if the town, school, county, etc. owns it...

You can pay for the upgrade package that gives all the info you want. I like regrid.

I use BaseMap. I think the yearly subscription is $30 or $35? I use it for mountainbiking and for detecting. It's clearly made for hunters, but it's useful to me also.

My county has this great website that lets you zoom in on places and then click on satellite images, aerial images, and old maps of that location. I wish more places had this!

X hunt shorts me on over 7 acres of my own land and well known iron pin boundaries here kentucky. we just use it as a “very”general idea.

Onx showed 20 ft of my neighbors property was actually mine. I had it surveyed and onx was spot on. While I didnt want to make my neighbor move his dog fence and shed we were able to make a deal and i sold him the property at a fair price. In the end...everybody was happy.

For hunting and seeing private owned land i use Basemap, plenty of options similar to On X and others including private land info (owners and addresses), just much cheaper yearly.
