Driven hunt map: hunting ground drawn on satellite imagery with 31 numbered stands, high seats, car parks, meeting points and danger zones

What you can do

A map editor built for hunting

Hunting ground drawn on the land registry: four coloured zones following parcel boundaries, seen on satellite imagery

Draw your hunting ground on the land registry

Magic wand, lasso or freehand. Tap a parcel, it joins your hunting zone, and the outline of your hunting ground draws itself.

Hunting stands numbered 20, 21, 22 and 23-A on a satellite map, with an icon for each stand type: high seat, ground stand, hide

Number your stands and high seats

High seat, ground stand, pigeon hide, hide: each stand shows its type and number, the same one announced at the meeting point.

Shooting sector of a hunting stand: permitted shooting zone in green and forbidden zone in red around stand 23-A

Mark the shooting sectors

For each stand, the permitted angle and the forbidden angle. The instruction becomes visible instead of being repeated aloud.

Safety distances around a hunting stand: 145 metres to the nearest dwelling and 60 metres to the path

Check safety distances

The distance to the nearest dwelling and to the nearest path, measured for you.

Drive arrow named Drive 1, line measured at 220 metres and enclosure circle on a driven hunt map

Draw your drives and measure

Drive arrows, shooting lines, enclosure circles. The distance appears as you draw.

Points of interest on a hunting map: car park, oak tree, cabin, water point, feeder and mushroom spot

Place your points of interest

Over 150 nature and hunting icons: feeder, cabin, water point, car park, camera, tracks.

Terrain layers

What else your map shows

Relief and contour lines

Ridges, hollows, valley floors and slopes appear on your hunting ground. Read the terrain from home rather than discovering it on the day.

  • Contour lines and elevations
  • Slopes and hillshade
  • Ridges, hollows and valley floors

Roads, water and buildings

Dwellings, roads, paths and watercourses come from IGN data. See what borders your hunting ground before placing a hunter.

  • Dwellings and farm buildings
  • Roads, paths, railways and power lines
  • Rivers, ponds and lakes

The map for hunting

The online hunting map, designed for the field

A clear hunting map is the foundation of a well-run driven hunt. Start from the exact outline of your hunting ground and its area in hectares, then turn it into driven hunt maps: enclosures, shooting lines, numbered stands, meeting point. The same map helps you prepare the season and brief the team in the morning.

From land registry to driven hunt plan

To draw the boundaries of a hunting ground, the tool uses the official land registry, the forest parcel map and IGN base maps: paths, edges, parcel boundaries, relief. Unlike generic mapping applications, this French data is built in, with hunting vocabulary. To go further, see ourhunting cartography module.

A map that also serves safety and the harvest plan

The shooting sectors drawn stand by stand turn a verbal instruction into a visible reference for everyone, to print as PDF with thedriven hunt sheet on the morning of the meeting. And a hunting ground already drawn saves time on allocations and harvests: with an account, your documents are generated directly from your maps. Details on our harvest plan module.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about the map tool

Is the map tool really free?

Yes. You draw your hunting ground, your stands and your driven hunt zones for free and without creating an account. Saving and exporting require an account, which is also free to start.

Do I need to create an account to use the map?

No, not to draw. The editor opens straight away, without signing up. The account is for saving, exporting and finding your maps later. Your draft is then carried over automatically.

Can I export my hunting map as GPX or KML?

Yes. Your zones, stands and points of interest export as GPX and KML. You can then open them in a hiking GPS, a vehicle GPS, Google Earth or the application of your choice.

How do I print a hunting map in A3?

The print window offers A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1 formats, landscape or portrait. You can add a reference grid, a scale with North, a title block (title, hunting ground, date) and a greyscale background to save ink.

Can I draw the shooting sectors for each stand?

Yes. For each stand, you draw the permitted shooting angle and the forbidden angle as defined by the hunt leader. It is a briefing aid for the morning: the instruction is shown on the map rather than repeated aloud. The map does not set the rules for you and does not replace the safety instructions in force on the hunting ground.

Is there a blank hunting map template to print?

Rather than a blank template to fill in by hand, you start from your real hunting ground: the base map is already correct, you add your stands and zones, then print as PDF in the format you need. For the participant and stand table, use our printable driven hunt sheet.

How do I create a hunting ground on a satellite map?

Open the editor, choose the satellite background, then select your land registry parcels with the magic wand or lasso. The parcels join your hunting zone and the outline of the hunting ground draws itself, with its area in hectares.

How do I make my hunting map for free?

Open the editor without creating an account, draw your hunting ground on the land registry, place your stands and driven hunt zones. All of this is free. The account, also free to start, is for saving, exporting as PDF and sharing the map with your team.

What types of stands can I place on the map?

High seat, ground stand, pigeon hide, hide and double stand, each with its icon and number. The number shown on the map is the one you announce at the meeting point, avoiding confusion when placing hunters.

How many icons are available for points of interest?

Over 150 icons related to nature and hunting: feeder, cabin, water point, car park, camera, tracks, tree species, mushroom spots, game sighted. Each point carries its icon and the name you give it.

Can I see Natura 2000 zones and nature reserves on the map?

Yes. Natura 2000 zones, nature reserves and national park cores appear as layers, with their boundaries. The map shows where these zones begin; what is permitted there depends on the text specific to each zone and the prefectoral decree.

What layers can I display on my hunting map?

Buildings, roads, paths and tracks, railway, overhead power lines, water points, hedges, crops declared in the graphical parcel register, public forests, relief, contour lines, slopes, national park core, nature reserves and Natura 2000. Each layer can be turned on or off as needed.

How do I find the distance between a stand and the nearest dwelling?

Select a stand: the map measures and shows the distance to the nearest dwelling and to the nearest path, using IGN data. The threshold to respect depends on your department's prefectoral decree, but the measurement is done for you.

Does the tool handle ONF forest parcels?

Yes. The forest parcel map of communal and state forests appears with the forest name and parcel number, in addition to the standard land registry. Useful when your hunting ground does not follow the cadastral boundaries.

Does the tool work in Belgium?

Partly. The satellite background, relief and drawing tools (stands, zones, drives, measurements) work everywhere, Belgium included. However, automatic parcel selection uses the French land registry: on the Belgian side, you draw your boundaries by hand instead of clicking on parcels.

What mapping data does the tool use?

The satellite backgrounds, the IGN map and the official French land registry (PCI parcels). Routes and elevations come from the IGN's BD TOPO and RGE ALTI.

What app to create a hunting map?

Mes Chasses creates a hunting map online for free and without installation. You draw your hunting ground on the official land registry, number your stands and draw your drives from a browser, on mobile or desktop.

Can I share my hunting map with other hunters?

Yes. With a free account, you save your map and share it with your team: everyone sees the stands, drives and meeting point. On the morning of the hunt, everyone has the same map in front of them.
