HUNTING OUTFITTER BOOKING SOFTWARE
Book your hunts without paying to book.
The usual options are a marketplace that takes 10% (and caps your pricing with a parity rule) or generic tour software that charges monthly plus ~3% on every booking. Timber & Tackle is built for outfitters — online booking, deposits, and your own site — for one flat fee, no commission, no per-booking cut.
An outfitter looking to take deposits online usually finds two kinds of tools. Hunting marketplaces (BookYourHunt) send you leads for a 10% commission and require price parity — so you can't reward a direct or returning hunter. Generic tour/activity platforms (Rezdy, Checkfront) add a booking widget to your site but charge a monthly subscription plus about 3% on every online booking.
Neither is built for the way a hunt actually books: a deposit to hold the dates, the balance in camp, the questions you need answered before someone shows up, the season windows, licenses and tags.
Timber & Tackle is booking software made for hunting outfitters: a hunter requests dates, you accept, they pay a deposit straight to your own account, and they get a branded sheet with everything they need for the trip. One flat monthly fee — no commission, no per-booking percentage, no parity clause — all on your own domain, with your hunter list yours to keep.
Three ways to take a booking
SaaS pricing (Rezdy $49–$249/mo + 3%, Checkfront $99/mo + 3%) and BookYourHunt's 10% commission are from published sources.
| Hunting marketplace | Generic tour SaaS | Timber & Tackle | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it charges | 10% commission per hunt | Monthly fee + ~3% per booking | One flat fee — $0 per booking |
| Caps your pricing | Yes — price-parity rule | no — your prices | |
| Cost as you book more | Grows every hunt | Grows (the 3%) | Flat — never grows |
| Built for outfitters | You're a listing | Generic activities | yes — deposits, seasons, tags, camp |
| Your own domain & brand | A widget on your site | Your whole site | |
| Own your hunter list | A marketplace lead |
$0 per hunt
No commission, no 3% online-booking fee — one flat monthly cost no matter how many hunts you book.
Built for the hunt
Deposit-to-hold then balance in camp, intake questions, season windows, licenses and tags — not a generic activity booking.
Set your own prices
No parity rule forcing you to match a marketplace. Reward loyal and direct hunters however you want, on a site you own.
Straight answers.
Is there any per-booking fee?
No commission and no per-booking percentage from us — one flat monthly subscription. The only per-transaction cost is standard card processing (Stripe), which goes to Stripe, not us, and which every platform incurs.
How is this different from a hunting marketplace?
A marketplace finds you new hunters but takes 10% on every hunt and requires price parity so you can't give direct hunters a better deal. Timber & Tackle is your own site — no commission, no parity rule — so keep the marketplace for discovery and send repeats to a channel you own.
Do I get a real website?
Yes — a whole site (hero, hunts, gallery, field reports, reviews, booking) on your own domain, built for you free before you pay anything.
What does setup take?
Send us your hunts or your current site and we build the whole thing, then send you a link to approve. No website skills needed — a phone call and a tap.
