    Hey ya'll,

    So I've been using Accuweather lately to help plan out my hunting trips but have been very displeased at how unreliable the information is out in the field. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on a good weather website that is made by people who understand how the weather affects bowhunting?

    Thanks for any suggestions you guys might have!

    Lately I've been using ScoutLook weather at www.scoutlookweather.com. You can select the type of outdoor activity you plan on doing including hunting. In the hunting section, it give you tons of useful information including moon phase. There is also a feature where you can click on your favorite honey holes and it will tell you the wind direction and speed.

    Scoutlook and NOAA.

    NOAA has an hourly weather graph that isn't pretty, but it's more accurate than any i've found.

    Thanks for your suggestions, I just checked out Scoutlook, what a great site! I'll definitely be sure to use this next time I go bowhunting! Do you know if they have a mobile version or an app?

    They are all horrible.
    I have been reduced to using my window to determine the weather.

    Just noticed Scoutlook Weather released a weather app for the Android and iPhone, going to see how it works and report back to you guys! Anyone been on any good hunts lately?

    Scoutlook works pretty well, and the mobile app is pretty good for as cheap as it is. I like having the visual representation of my scent cone. Makes it easier to get my head around.
