Private land
Last updated November 1, 2026
With Basic or Pro, Half Light shows property lines, the owner's name and acres on the map, so you know whose land you're looking at and who to ask. Turn on Private land under Layers, zoom in, and tap a parcel.
It's in some states, not all yet. We use the parcel records a state publishes for the whole state, and only where its terms let an app like ours show them. Where we don't have a state yet, the layer is empty.

Not in your state yet?
Many states leave parcel records to each county, and every county sets its own terms. We add states as we get records we're allowed to use. Tell us where you hunt at support@halflighthunting.com and we'll move that state up the list.
Before you hunt
- Property lines are approximate. They come from tax maps, not a survey, and can be off by many yards.
- Owner names come from public tax records and can be out of date.
- Get the landowner's permission before you hunt on or cross private land. Posting and trespass laws differ from state to state.
Where the records come from
The records belong to the states and counties that publish them, credited in the table above with their licenses. They don't endorse Half Light. We refresh them every few months.
