Designed by a hunter for organisers, it turns the logistics of a driven hunt into a few minutes of work. Available on iOS, Android and the web.
Updated on 20 October 2026: prices and plan contents brought up to date.
Today, the chairman of a hunting society spends more time on the phone than on the hunting ground. WhatsApp groups that split in two from one season to the next, paper logbooks found stained at the bottom of a game bag, attendance sheets filled in the night before between two phone calls: organising a driven hunt has become a second job. Stanislas de Chevigné, a hunter since 2007, decided to tackle it.
His app, Mes Chasses, comes out this month on iOS, Android and the web. It is built for association chairmen, private hunting ground managers and hunt leaders. In France, 963,571 hunters validate their licence every year, and a hunting society organises 21 driven hunts per season on average (source: FNC, the French national hunters’ federation). That is a lot of logistics for volunteers.
Before, during, after
Three moments, one idea: keep everything in one place.
Before the hunt, the organiser creates the event in a few minutes, shares a single invitation link, scans licences on the spot and prints attendance sheets that are already filled in. Hunters who do not have the app are added by hand. A public link can also open ten places on a “first come, first served” basis, just as you would in a group chat, without the mess that comes with it.
During the hunt, participants are assigned to high seats and ground stands. The organiser sees all of them live on the IGN or satellite map of the hunting ground. Every stand is checked by the danger scanner, a feature that flags, as a guide only, the houses, roads, power lines or railway lines that a thick hedge can hide. On a hillside you do not know well, that is valuable information.
After, the day archives itself. Animals seen, missed, wounded, harvested: everything goes on the map. After a few seasons, the crossing points build up a real memory of the hunting ground, which you can use to place the stands for the next drive.
The app works offline, which matters when you hunt at the bottom of a valley. Maps are downloaded in advance, data is queued on the phone, and everything syncs as soon as one bar of signal comes back.
Born from a family need
“In my family, we have organised family hunts for three generations. At my grandparents’ it was very simple. At my parents’ a bit less so. And when it was my turn, I saw the WhatsApp groups multiply, invitations get lost, and attendance sheets filled in at the last minute. Mes Chasses is the tool I would have wanted for myself, before it became a tool for others.”
- Stanislas de Chevigné, founder of Mes Chasses
In conversations with the departmental hunting federations and the first users, two features stand out: the danger scanner and the lighter paperwork. On the second point, the stakes are generational. Of the 31,000 people who sat the hunting licence exam in 2022, one in two was between 16 and 24 (source: FNC). They live with a phone in their hand. They need tools that speak to them.
In the field, the 2023/2024 season recorded 97 accidents, 6 of them fatal, and the total number of accidents has fallen by 42% in twenty years (source: OFB, the French biodiversity office). Mes Chasses does not replace the vigilance of a hunt leader, and the decision to shoot remains with the shooter. It adds a layer of information, for when the hedge hides the barn.
Three plans, matched to how people hunt
Every plan gives access to every feature, heatmaps included, and invited hunters are never limited. The free Discovery plan covers one hunting ground, two members and one hunt per month. At €79 a year, the Standard plan removes the hunt limit and takes up to twenty members, with priority support. At €149 a year, the Premium plan is aimed at large hunting societies and ACCAs (municipal hunting associations): unlimited members, 20 GB of storage and a support reply within 24 hours. On all three plans, a 2% service fee applies to payments collected online.
