What Hunters Aid is

Hunters Aid is a scouting and community tool for Arkansas hunters — a WMA map, public wildlife/farming/river data, a land-leasing contact board, and community features (Talk, Harvest Log, a hunter directory, and messaging). It's an independent, unofficial project — not affiliated with AGFC, USDA, USGS, or NOAA, even though it uses their public data.

Accounts

You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for anything that happens under your account. Give us accurate information when you sign up. You must be at least 18 to create an account.

Content you post

You own what you post — listings, harvest logs, Talk posts, messages, photos. By posting it, you're giving Hunters Aid permission to display it on the site the way it's designed to work (for example, a land listing or Talk post is meant to be publicly visible; a hunting spot pin or a direct message is not). You're responsible for what you post, and you confirm you actually have the right to post it.

The land-leasing side

Hunters Aid is a contact board, not a broker, agent, or party to any lease. We don't verify that a listing's owner actually owns or controls the land, don't handle any payments, and don't guarantee any listing is accurate or safe to act on. If you use the leasing side, you're responsible for verifying who you're dealing with, meeting safely, and handling any money or agreements entirely on your own — see the safety notice on the leasing page for specifics.

What's not allowed

Don't use the site to harass or threaten anyone, post fraudulent listings, impersonate someone else, scrape or bulk-extract data, or use it for anything illegal. We can remove content or suspend accounts that violate this, at our discretion.

Data accuracy

WMA info, waterfowl/deer/turkey season data, farming data, and river gauge readings come from public government sources and are provided as a convenience — they can be wrong, outdated, or incomplete. Always confirm actual hunting regulations directly with AGFC before you rely on anything here for legal compliance.

No warranty

Hunters Aid is provided "as is," with no guarantee it'll be available, accurate, or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for damages arising from your use of the site, including anything related to a land lease, a hunt, or interactions with other users.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. Continuing to use Hunters Aid after an update means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas.

What we collect

When you create an account: your email, password (stored securely, never visible to us in plain text), name, and contact info. Optionally: your county and hunting interests if you opt into the hunter directory. Whatever you actively post: land listings, harvest log entries and photos, Talk posts, hunting-spot pin locations, messages, and your friends list.

What's public vs. private

Land listings, your name and county (if you opt into the directory), Talk posts, and Harvest Log entries are designed to be seen by other visitors. Hunting-spot pins and direct messages are private — only visible to you (and, for messages, the person you're messaging).

Who else sees it

Your data is stored with Supabase (our database and authentication provider) and the site is hosted on Vercel. Both are infrastructure providers that host the data on our behalf — we don't sell your data to anyone, and we don't share it with advertisers.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage to keep you signed in between visits. We don't use advertising trackers.

Deleting your data

There's no self-service delete-my-account button yet. If you want your account and data removed, reach out and we'll take care of it manually.

Children's privacy

Hunters Aid isn't intended for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from minors.

We may update this policy as the site changes. Check back here if you want to know what's changed.
