EP 582: The Balancing Act of Technology with Dylan Dowson of onX Hunt

Dylan is a lifelong hunter and has been with onX for 10 years. He has seen the evolution of mapping and hunting software evolve from cards that had to be plugged into a handheld GPS device to the full featured apps we all know and use on our smart phones today.   To say things have changed would be an understatement.  On this episode, Dylan covers some of the new features within the onX platform and, just as importantly, how he and the team at onX approach the introduction of new features and technologies and how that's balanced against maintaining the soul and purity of the hunt itself.   NOTABLE QUOTES:   "There's probably some trackable public data somewhere of an elk herd migration that we could put into onX, but we're not going to. That's an example of just because you can do it doesn't mean you should, and we have actively had that conversation year in and year out."  @onxhunt  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  For over 100 years Leica has been the optics choice for the most discerning mountain hunters.
