Founding outfitters

We're building this with a handful of outfitters. There's room for a few more.

HuntingCRM is in beta. A small group of outfitters run their seasons on it today and tell us what's wrong with it every week. That's how it gets good. If you want a seat at that table, this page tells you what it means.

What beta means

Straight talk before you book.

Beta isn't a marketing word here. It means the system works, and it isn't finished. Here's exactly where it stands.

Working today

Text-back to every inquiry. Deposit links. Waivers, licenses, and tags collected before camp. Guide rosters by text. The season board on your phone.

Still being built

Some reports, some of the rebook flow, and whatever the founding group asks for next. You'll see rough edges. When you hit one, you text us and we fix it.

What that means for you

You get a system built around your operation, at a price that reflects you being early, and you help decide what it becomes. You also put up with a little dust.

What founding outfitters get

Not a login. A crew.

Every outfitter software company hands you a login and a tutorial video. That's not what this is.

INCLUDED
We build it for you

You send us your spreadsheet, your species and units, your deposit rules, your paperwork. We load it all and write your text-backs in your voice before you log in once.

INCLUDED
A direct line

Trent and Jared's cell numbers. Not a ticket queue. Something's off at 6 AM on opening day, you text, we're on it.

INCLUDED
Founding pricing

Outfitters who get in during beta pay less than the ones who come later. We walk through the number on the call, not on a pricing page.

INCLUDED
A say in what's next

What we build next comes from the founding group's calls, not a product roadmap. If three of you need the same thing, it gets built.

What we ask of you

Run your season on it. For real.

We're not looking for outfitters to try it. We're looking for outfitters to run on it and tell us the truth.

  • Actually use it. Move your hunters in, send your deposit links through it, let the paperwork chase run. A system nobody runs teaches us nothing.
  • Tell us when something's dumb. A text that says "this is stupid, fix it" is the most valuable thing a founding outfitter can send us.
  • Get on a short call now and then. Fifteen or twenty minutes, mostly in the off-season, mostly you talking.
  • Once it's earning its keep, let us tell your story. In your words, with your approval, only if you're happy. Nothing goes out with your name on it that you didn't sign off on.
Is this you?

Who this is built for. And who it isn't.

A good fit

  • Outfitters and guides running a real season. Elk, mule deer, whitetail, antelope, bear, waterfowl, upland. Public land or private. Horseback or truck.
  • Guys who lose track of who's paid and who's missing a waiver somewhere around August.
  • Anybody who's ever come off a ridge to three missed calls and a hunter who already booked with someone else.
  • Outfitters who'd rather text a person than read a help article.

Probably not a fit

  • Lodges that need housekeeping, room inventory, and a point-of-sale system. That's a different kind of software.
  • Somebody who wants to set up software alone on a Saturday. We build it with you, and that means you have to be on the call.
  • Anyone who needs it perfect on day one. It works. It isn't finished.
How it works

Four steps. The first one is thirty minutes.

1 · CallYou tell us how you run.

Species, units, how deposits work, what paperwork you collect, how many guides. Trent and Jared are both on it.

2 · FitWe say yes or we say no.

The founding group stays small enough that we know every outfitter in it by name. If it isn't a fit, we'll tell you, and we'll tell you why.

3 · BuildWe set it up before your season.

Your hunters loaded, your checklists built, your text-backs written in your voice. You approve every word that goes to a hunter.

4 · SeasonWe're in it with you.

You run hunts. The system answers the phone and chases the paperwork. When something breaks, you text us and it gets fixed.

Who's already running on it

Real outfitters. Real seasons.

The founding group started with outfitters Trent already knew from Hunt Warz. They're the reason the system looks the way it does.

Fair questions

Things outfitters ask before they say yes.

"What does beta cost?"

Less than it will after beta. We cover the exact number on the call, along with what's included, so you're comparing it to what you actually run today.

"What happens to my hunters if you guys go away?"

They're yours. Every contact, every hunt, every signed waiver can be exported any time you want it. We don't hold your list hostage.

"I'm in the middle of season."

Then we build in the off-season. The call can happen now. The setup happens when you've got a minute to breathe.

"How many outfitters are you taking?"

The first 100 get founding pricing. Enough to build something great, few enough to know every one by name. When the founding group is full, this page comes down.

"Will my hunters get robotic texts?"

You write them. Or you tell us how you talk and we write them, and you approve every one. Nothing goes out in a voice that isn't yours.

"Who's actually on the other end?"

Trent Crane, Jared Bender, and Jake Price. Trent hunts and runs Hunt Warz. Jared builds the system. Jake makes sure nobody's call goes unanswered.

Every question outfitters ask, in one place

One call

Thirty minutes decides whether it's a fit.

You tell us how you run. We show you your season on a board. If it makes sense on both sides, you're in the founding group.
