The iHunt app was launched in 2013 as a calls-only app. “Altus Brands acquired iHunt in 2014 with a hardware strategy to provide hunters, birdwatchers and outdoorsmen one of the largest selections of animal calls available, and link it to a Bluetooth speaker optimized to work with the iHunt app,” Altus Brands’ Charles Ricci said. “The app remains the best-selling hunting smartphone app, featuring high-quality animal and hunting calls with no audio noise.” A thoughtful design and presentation of feature options make the iHunt app incredibly easy to navigate and use. “A hunter can quickly change calls and create combos from dozens of different sounds with 47 different species of animals to choose from,” Ricci said. “In addition to the library of over 650 different calls, the iHunt app features hunt logs, solunar times, weather and more. With an over 4.0 reviewer rating out of 5, iHunt has been the best-selling hunting app for more than four years now.” In 2015, Altus Brands launched the iHunt Ultimate Game Call, where consumers buy the speaker and get the app free, then sync the new Extreme Dimensions iHunt wireless Bluetooth speaker to a smartphone. “This Extreme Dimensions iHunt speaker, when paired with the iHunt app, turns your smartphone into a complete game-call system,” Ricci said.The Bluetooth speaker can be paired with any Android or iOS device. “It works up to 100 yards away and doesn’t require a cellular signal,” Ricci added. “After pairing the speaker with your device, simply download the free app and its library of animal calls. Then you can control the sounds as well as the volume from the phone. Four C batteries (not included) power the wireless speaker.” Altus Brands sees continued growth in the speaker offerings, and in 2016 the company launched the compact iHunt XSB app and game call, available in late June. It also just launched its newest app, iHunt Moose. “The new iHunt Moose app delivers more than 50 of your favorite moose calls and sounds,” Ricci said. “You can pair this app with either the iHunt speaker or the new Extreme Dimensions XSB speaker. The combination gives iHunt Moose app users more than 50 high-performance moose calls all from their smartphone.” According to Ricci, Altus will continue to develop and find additional animal sounds to make iHunt the most comprehensive listing of calls available, as well as launch additional speaker options for consumers. “Today’s consumers want choices, and when a hunter, outdoorsman or birdwatcher can have access to almost 700 different calls with one device — the phone or iPad they already own — it makes it very easy to use and a compelling offer,” he said.

The Tree Stand Buddy was designed to provide a much safer treestand-installation process. The hoisting feature allows you to climb your tree without having to simultaneously carry your treestand to the desired height. Users enjoy a much safer hunting experience since the bracket system increases safety and stability – no more wobbling. The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) saw the Tree Stand Buddy at the 2010 ATA Trade Show and liked it so much that it’s looking to incorporate the product into its training seminars and safety videos included with each treestand purchase. Tree Stand Buddy was recently tested by Scientific Testing Laboratories, the same company that performs all TMA testing and treestand ratings. Tree Stand Buddy’s bracket system withstood 935 pounds of weight force without any movement to the brackets before the treestand that it was attached to failed. Thus, the benefits of the Tree Stand Buddy are endless. Tree Stand Buddy saves time and money, and it provides safety, comfort and affordability. The company’s goal is to bring the general public one of the best new products in years so that hunting can be a safer, more enjoyable experience for all. To summarize the product, Tree Stand Buddy is an innovative and universal mounting accessory for hang-on stands. It consists of a bracket and receiver system that’s compatible with virtually all single- or double-post hang-on treestands. The bracket attaches to the stand, while the receiver attaches to the tree with two TSB Ultimate Ratchet straps that come with the starter kit.Not only does the Tree Stand Buddy make treestand hunting safer and simpler, but it also allows you to use one treestand with multiple receivers preplaced at various locations. This is one of your greatest assets when playing the wind. When you’re finished hunting, taking the stand down is easier and quieter than imaginable. And, when you return for another hunt, you can rest assured your stand will be positioned exactly how it was during a previous hunt once attached to the bracket. Tree Stand Buddy offers three purchase options through its online store. The TSB Starter Kit includes a bracket, receiver, ratchet straps and hardware needed to accommodate a single- or double-post hang-on stand. The package costs $129. Once you have a starter kit and want to add receivers so you can expand your hunting locations, the TSB Receiver Two-Pack can be purchased at a regular price of $110. Finally, the TSB Ultimate Ratchet Strap System, which includes two straps, sells for a regular price of $29.95. Tree Stand Buddy is committed to making treestand hunting safer and simpler.
