As I was hunting this year, alone with my thoughts and began thinking about how these YouTube/ Outdoors channels/ GOHUNT, ONX videos show their hunter passing on animals that most people are happy just to see. Then I think about all the data that I have uploaded to OnX and my waypoints. Then I went way down the rabbit hole and I cannot stop thinking about it. Here is where I am stuck... and my questions
Does OnX, GOHUNT etc have access to everyone's data points?
If yes, the workers/sponsors/ owners of these companies have a literal library of data points that they can use for even low points or general hunts.
Furthermore, the owners/ workers of these companies can get REAL TIME UPDATES on customers out in the field and where they are seeing animals.
so if they wanted they could get an OTC tag. Call the software engineers and they would be literally put on the spot if there are current hunters in the field seeing animals and marking spots.
So there is an incentive for these owners to convince you to upload the data and join their platform. It is a literal treasure map.
Please prove me wrong.....
