Land Access & Outdoor Safety Notice

Version: 1 Effective date: 7 November 2026

Know before you go

Antlerstack shows where things have been found. It doesn't show where you're allowed to go.

A pin on the map is not permission to be there.

This notice forms part of the Antlerstack Terms of Service. You are asked to acknowledge it before you use the map, and you can read it again at any time from the app's settings or from any log or spot.

1. What the map is, and what it isn't

Antlerstack's map shows your own logs and spots and, where other members have chosen to share them, theirs. It also shows trails and paths from OpenStreetMap.

• Locations come from members, not from us. Anyone can add a spot or share a log. We do not visit, check, verify or approve any location, and neither the member who shared it nor Antlerstack is saying that you may go there.
• The map does not show land ownership, property boundaries, access rights, rights of way, protected areas, closures, restrictions or hazards. A place that looks open on the map may be private, restricted, closed, seasonal or dangerous.
• A trail or path on the map is not a right of access. Map data can be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date, and a path that exists on the ground may not be one you are entitled to use.
• Information can be wrong or stale. Spot names, categories, amenities, elevations, species identifications and other details are provided by members or estimated, and may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Offline maps and spot data are snapshots and may be older still. GPS positions can be off by a significant distance.
• Antlerstack is not a navigation, safety or emergency tool. Do not rely on it to find your way, avoid danger or get help. There may be no signal where you are going.

2. Before you go, it's on you to

Confirm who owns or manages the land, and get permission to be on it. This includes private land, farmland, forestry, water and fishing rights, and any public or protected land that requires permission, a permit or a booking. Where general access rights exist, they usually come with conditions: find out what they are and follow them.

Check the licences, permits and seasons that apply where you are. Hunting, fishing, wildlife, collecting and camping are regulated differently in every country and region, and the rules change. Depending on where you are, this may include licences and permits, open and closed seasons, bag and size limits, catch-and-release rules, protected species, restrictions on collecting antlers, bones or other natural objects, restrictions on wild camping and overnight parking, fire bans, and rules about vehicles, boats, drones, firearms and trail cameras.

Judge the conditions, the terrain and your own safety. Weather, water levels, tides, ice, terrain, daylight, wildlife, hunting activity and your own fitness, skill and equipment all change what is safe. Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, carry a proper map and a way to call for help, and turn back if in doubt.

3. Look after the places and the wildlife

• Leave no trace, close gates behind you, keep dogs under control, and respect livestock, crops and other people.
• Don't disturb wildlife, especially during breeding and nesting seasons, and handle antlers, skulls, carcasses and fish with care, as wild animals and their remains can carry disease.
• Clean, check and dry fishing and boating equipment between waters to avoid spreading invasive species and disease.
• Think before you share a location. Don't share places where protected or sensitive species breed, nest or roost, places on private land without the owner's agreement, or anywhere sharing could lead to damage, disturbance or poaching. Keep a log private, or keep its location private, if in doubt.
• Place trail cameras only where you have permission, and never where they would record people or others' private property.

4. Your responsibility

You go at your own risk. Outdoor activities are inherently dangerous, and you are responsible for your own decisions, your own safety, the safety of anyone with you, and following the law and the landowner's wishes wherever you go.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Antlerstack is not responsible for anything that happens when you travel to, enter or use any place, or take part in any activity (whether or not you found out about it through Antlerstack), including injury, loss, damage, fines, prosecution or claims made against you. Our Terms of Service (especially sections 9, 14 and 15) set this out in full, including the liability we cannot and do not exclude.

It's your responsibility to check local laws and get permission before you go.

By tapping "I understand", you confirm that you have read this notice, that you understand Antlerstack does not show where you are allowed to go, and that you accept responsibility for checking access, permissions, laws and conditions before you go anywhere.
