Hunt Settings

Wind Tolerance 30 mph

Max wind speed before huntability score is penalized. Pointer dogs work scent better in lighter wind; flushers are less affected.

Temp Sweet Spot (low) 50 °F

Minimum comfortable hunting temperature. Adjust for your region and species — quail in Texas vs. grouse in Minnesota differ significantly.

Bird Sighting Radius 25 km

eBird and iNaturalist search radius. Larger areas surface more reports but may include distant habitat. Hotspot search always extends slightly further.

NOAA / NWS Integration

CoveyCast automatically cross-references ERA5 hail data against NOAA's National Weather Service alert history — no API key required. Look for the NWS badge on the dashboard hail stat.
