HuntData LLC was founded in 1994 after Dave and Donnelle Johnson moved to Colorado and spent several frustrating years trying to figure out where to hunt.  “It took me two years to realize there was a draw process and another two to figure out why I needed to use it.” 

In early 1994 Dave compiled statistics in a spreadsheet for many different units.  His goal was to find a new, successful hunting spot.  The process was time consuming and led to an outcome he didn’t anticipate – several friends started asking for the spreadsheet!  The idea for HuntData LLC was born. 

The first product from HuntData LLC was called, not surprisingly, “HuntData”.  It was a data-driven product focused on the draw.  Since then, the Company has introduced many more products, Hunt98, Hunt2000 and finally BigGameCD.   The products have moved from purely data-driven databases to products with mapping and consulting capabilities.   

In 2001 HuntData LLC formed a partnership with the Colorado Division of Wildlife to produce BigGameCD.  The product was first released in a Standard version and in 2002 a Deluxe version hit the market.  The success of these products lead to a stream of annual innovations including the FishFactor CD released in 2003.  In 2004, HuntData LLC leveraged their electronic product line to produce new 1:100,000 scale GMU Elk Concentration Maps.  In 2005, the Company took another giant step and released new “Center point” game concentration maps.    

The Center point maps provide hunters with unparalleled tools for heading into their favorite hunting spot.  HuntData LLC creates a custom 1:24,000 topographical map using a center coordinate provided by the customer.  The 16 mile by 20 mile map will display local herd concentration data or land status data at the customer’s request.  

What’s on the horizon for HuntData LLC?  We’re constantly innovating.  Our next focus is to expand the mapping technology in our CD products.  In early 2005 we released a new Standard version of BigGameCD with expanded mapping capabilities.  

In late 2005, we will release a new Deluxe CD version also with expanded mapping capabilities.   Dave Johnson, the owner of HuntData LLC said recently, “I’ve been spending a lot of time playing with new technology including terrain generators and fly through mapping tools.  The next Deluxe version will generate one thing for certain, a ‘wow’ from the users.”  

HuntData LLC is a virtual company with developers and content partners from Canada to Colorado Springs.  The company is owned by Dave and Donnelle Johnson who are based in Franktown, Colorado.
