Your hunting ground at a glance
Hear about mowing dates in your own hunting ground automatically, record wildlife observations and share the same picture with farmers and rescuers.
Your hunting ground in view — without chasing phone calls
Automatically in the picture when mowing is planned on your own ground, sightings reported with two taps.
Mowing dates on your ground
Dates on your own hunting ground appear straight away — with field and time, instead of you hearing about it afterwards.
Report sightings freely
Record sightings without an operation too — from fawns to hares and foxes to red and fallow deer.
Sightings on the map
Every report with its location — the picture of your hunting ground grows with every season.
Shared picture
Farmer, rescuers and hunter all see the same information — no more conflicting arrangements.
Sensitive wildlife data protected
There is deliberately no public map of animal finds. Finds are only visible to those involved and to your own association.
Support operations
If you like: lend a hand with the search — as searcher, drone pilot, coordinator or driver.
Every fawn on your ground on record
As the leaseholder you see the record of the fawns from your hunting ground: when and where they were secured, when they were released.
Ear tags for wildlife research
In Baden-Württemberg, ear tags are recorded when a fawn is secured — the marking list for the Wildlife Research Unit in Aulendorf is created along the way.
Travel costs without paperwork
If your district hunting association pays travel costs or allowances, they run through the operation — mileage as a suggestion, settlement at the end of the season.
Your hunting ground in your pocket
Mowing dates on your own ground appear straight away in the app — with field, date and search status. You report sightings where you make them: outdoors.
- All reported mowings on your ground in one list — with a risk traffic light per field

- Plan in the drone from the same operation if you wish
Available for Android and iPhone

For the district hunting association: pay once, everyone is in
Individual hunters use WildRescue free of charge. The platform is paid for per district by one funding body — and that can be your district hunting association.
Your hunting association pays
One annual price for the district: hunting grounds, associations, farmers and helpers are all included — one contract, one annual invoice.
Pricing and funding →Hunting levy and funding
Hunting levy funds from the federal states and digitalisation programmes subsidise software and training. We provide a written quote for your application.
Or together with others
If the district farmers’ association, a rescue group or the district authority holds the licence, the district hunting association is included — with the same figures for members and the public.
For associations & districts →Free for hunters
Reporting sightings and supporting operations costs nothing — the platform is paid for by the funding body for the district.
- Servers in Germany
- GPS record of every search

Frequently asked questions
You’ll find more answers on the FAQ page.
Yes. Each paying organisation — association, district hunting association or district farmers’ association — sets its own rates. The app suggests the mileage from the journey, and a traffic light keeps an eye on the volunteer allowance limit and the annual budget. At the end of the season there is a SEPA bulk transfer and a DATEV posting batch for the treasurer. Anyone who wishes can donate their amount back and receive a donation receipt.
Yes, for the roe deer marking project of the Baden-Württemberg Wildlife Research Unit in Aulendorf. Number, colour and ear are recorded when the fawn is secured, and the marking list for the research unit is created from that — nobody types up paper lists in the autumn.
Yes, on both — on Google Play, and since 19 September on the App Store too. The app is free and ad-free. At your desk, carry on in the browser with the same account.
No. WildRescue also works without a drone — with search lines on foot and GPS-documented searches. If you have a drone with thermal imaging, its finds go straight onto the operation map.
We are working on it, and it is already flying on the test bench: the platform plans the flight, sends it to the drone and analyses the thermal image while it flies — possible finds appear on the operation map instead of on a computer in the evening. It is not switched on yet, and we are deliberately not giving a date. The pilot remains responsible for the flight in any case; EU drone rules apply unchanged. If you would like to be among the first to fly with it, write to us.
The farmer reports the mowing date, fawn rescuers search the field, hunters are informed about dates on their own ground and report sightings, and the association organises and evaluates. Everyone sees the same picture — and each role only sees what concerns it.
Yes. Farmers report mowings for free, rescuers document their operations for free, hunters report sightings for free. The platform is paid for by the funding body for the district — a rescue group, the district hunting association, the district farmers’ association or the district authority. Volunteering must not fail because of cost.
Drones with thermal imaging fall under the EU drone rules: registration as an operator and, depending on the drone, a certificate of competency for the pilot. WildRescue does not replace any permit — the platform helps you plan flights and document finds properly. Your association or the responsible aviation authority knows what applies locally.
Only people you actually share an operation with. Otherwise your phone number and e-mail address are visible to no one — not even to other members.
No. There is deliberately no public map of animal finds — wildlife data is sensitive. Sightings and finds are only visible to the people involved in the operation and to your own association.
