Times follow the DNR's own method (Wis. Admin. Code NR 10.06): sunrise and sunset for Zone A, computed for Sheboygan (Southern area) or Powers, Mich. (Northern area), then 4 minutes added for each zone west of Zone A. Each time is rounded toward the safe side, so it may be a minute tighter than the printed DNR table. The printed DNR shooting hours tables are the legal reference. All times are Central time.
Where are you hunting?
Tap your spot on the map. Zones A–F run by longitude (4 minutes per zone); the Northern and Southern areas follow county lines.

Not sharing.
Who's out
Nobody has checked in with this camp code yet.
Mesh tracker
Pair your Meshtastic tracker (SenseCAP T1000-E) over Bluetooth and every tracker in the camp mesh shows on the map, no cell signal needed. Works in Chrome on Android; iPhones use the Meshtastic app for this part.
Not connected.
Camp channel
Cell positions sit on your Deer Camp server for 24 hours and are shown only to people with the camp code. Mesh positions come straight from the trackers over Bluetooth and stay on this phone. Turn sharing off when you leave the woods.
