Audio Scouting

(noun)

The practice of using wildlife sounds to understand animal behavior before, during and after the hunt, giving hunters new wildlife intelligence to make better decisions in the field.

 Audio Scouting

For generations, hunters have relied on instinct, experience, trail cams, and time in the woods to understand wildlife.

But there has always been one missing piece.

Sound.

Every gobble.Every Bugle. Every howl.

The woods are constantly telling the story of whats happening around you.

Until now, there hasn't been a way to hear that story when you weren't there.

How does
Audio Scouting work?

An AudioScout O.W.L. quietly listens for wildlife sounds while you’re away.

 

When a target sound is detected, it captures the audio, records when it happened, and sends the information directly to the AudioScout app.

 

Instead of wondering what happened in the woods, you can review real detections, listen to the actual sounds, see where the sound came from on interactive maps,  and build a clearer picture of wildlife activity over time.

What can you discover with Audio Scouting? Find out if a turkey gobbled after you left, which ridge elk were bugling on at daylight, what happened overnight, where a gobble came from, listen to real recorded audio, and see the whole story of wildlife activity over time.

How Audio Scouting works: hang an AudioScout O.W.L. (Omindirectional Wildlife Locator) in the woods, it listens for wildlife sounds, detects a target sound such as a turkey gobble, sends an alert to your phone, and lets you hear the recorded audio and view detection details.

Real detections. Real Audio. Real infomation you can use.

HEAR IT.

Listen to the actual sounds captured in the woods.

See the location of each detection.

KNOW WHERE.

Every detection is timestamped, so you know exactly when it happened.

KNOW WHEN.

Watch detections play over time with interactive maps telling the story of the woods in an entirely new way.

A Different Kind of

Information.

Trail cameras show you where wildlife goes. AudioScout O.W.L.s tell you what's happening. Two different types of information.

Stronger intel. Better decissions. Better hunts.

What happened after I left?

Like most hunters, I've spent countless mornings in the woods, straining to hear one more distant gobble. I've wondered if I should stay or move. I've walked away from birds that suddenly went quiet, only to spend the rest of the day wondering if they fired back up after I left.

Every hunter knows those questions.

For years, I wished there was a way to know what was happening in the woods when I wasn't there.

Not another trail camera.

Not another game call.

A completely new way to scout.

That idea became Audio Scouting.

Instead of taking pictures, what if a device would listen for the sounds that matter most?

Not just record them... but to turn them into useful scouting intelligence.

That idea eventually became the O.W.L. -- the Omnidirectional Wildlife Locator.

Purpose-built to quietly listen while you're away, then let you hear exactly what happened.

AudioScout wasn't created to replace woodsmanship.

It was created to give hunters better information so they can make better decisions.

Because every hunt begins with a question...

And every detection is another page in the story.

Welcome to Audio Scouting.

Our Story:

It Started With A Simple Question.

AudioScout founder David Peavey holding an O.W.L. audio scouting device after a successful spring turkey hunt.

The idea for the O.W.L. came during one of the hardest turkey seasons I ever hunted. 

Somewhere between the miles walked, early mornings and too little sleep, an idea began taking shape... and one night an owl showed up in a dream that I have never forgotten.

The true story of how it happened is a little strange. And absolutely worth telling.

The Inspiration:

Spring 2027 Starts Here.
