With Maryland’s hunting season now in full swing, thousands of hunters
are taking along the AccessDNR
mobile app from the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources. The app provides the state’s
hunters, anglers, boaters and park-goers with all of the latest outdoor
recreation information, news and alerts right at their fingertips. More
than 15,000 Marylanders have downloaded the award-winning AccessDNR
mobile app since its launch earlier this year. This free resource is
available for Apple and Android devices through their app stores, and
can also be accessed online
here.
The most recent upgrade includes a variety of features for hunters to
use while on the go. The real-time harvest reporting process with DNR
now has fewer steps, and the integrated Trophy Case allows
hunters to view their confirmation number and upload a photo of their
harvest to share with others via social media or email. County harvest
land codes are easily accessed during the reporting process and the
sunrise/sunset times are automatically determined based on the users
location.
“The feedback from hunters using the AccessDNR mobile app has been
great,” said DNR Wildlife and Heritage Director Paul Peditto. “From
hunting locations and calendars, to real time harvest reporting, the app
provides hunters all the information they need right where they are.”
The AccessDNR app also provides mobile access to information for state
park locations, activities and amenities, reservations, trails, boat
launch sites, and mobile licensing. The location-based Near Me
mapping function displays parks and waterways in radius increments of
10, 25 or 50 miles of the user and includes detailed driving directions.
