SEASON CALENDAR
Show a client exactly when to book.
A month-by-month chart on your site that lays out every species and season you run — the redfish months, the archery window, when the rut fires. A client sees the best time to come and books the date that fits it.
A season calendar is a simple grid: your species or hunts down one side, the twelve months across the top, and the good months marked for each. An angler sees when the tarpon show and when the trout bite is on. A hunter sees archery, rifle, and the rut laid out at a glance instead of buried in a paragraph.
You set the strong months once, per species, and the calendar draws itself on your site. It answers the first question every trip-seeker has — 'when should I come?' — before they ever email you, which turns a maybe into a date on the request form.
Answer 'when should I book?'
The one question that stalls every inquiry, answered on the page. A client sees the peak months and books into them instead of writing to ask.
Sell the shoulder seasons too
Mark the good-not-great months as well as the peak. A slower week that's still worth guiding gets booked instead of sitting empty.
Fish and game, the same grid
Species runs for a charter, archery and rifle windows and the rut for an outfitter — one chart handles either, in your own terms.
Match the hero to the month
Paired with seasonal hero photos, a hunter who lands in September sees the rut on the calendar and the rut in the hero — the site reads like it's running right now.
How it works
- 1
List what you run
Settings → Season calendar: add each species or hunt — redfish, tarpon, elk archery, whitetail rifle — the way you name them.
- 2
Mark the good months
For each one, tap the months that are strong. Mark peak months and solid ones so the whole runnable season shows, not just the two best weeks.
- 3
It draws itself on your site
The calendar renders as a clean chart visitors read at a glance, and updates the moment you change a month.
Why it matters
A guided trip lives or dies on timing, and a trip-seeker who can't tell when to come often just doesn't come. Putting the calendar on your own site answers that on your terms — not a marketplace's generic availability grid that flattens your season into open and closed.
It's also honest demand-shaping: you can steer clients toward the months you most want to fill, book the shoulder weeks a listing would leave empty, and do it all on the site you own instead of paying to reach them.
Straight answers.
Is this my availability calendar?
No — it's a season guide, not a live booking calendar. It tells a client which months are best for each species or hunt. They still request a specific date and you accept it, the normal way.
Can I show more than one species or hunt?
Yes — list as many as you run, each with its own row of strong months. Anglers see the runs; hunters see archery, rifle, and the rut side by side.
Does it update on its own?
The chart renders from the months you mark and updates the instant you change them. Set it once at the start of the year and adjust anytime.
