Siri gave me a web answer. Was that Buckeye Hunter Hub?

No. Every Buckeye Hunter Hub answer starts with "From Buckeye Hunter Hub". If you don't hear that, Siri didn't run the shortcut and answered from its own web search. Say "Hey Siri, Ask Buckeye Hunter Hub", wait for it to ask your question, then ask.

I denied location access. How do I turn it back on?

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Shortcuts and choose "While Using the App". You can still ask about a named place, like "wind near Covington, Ohio", without location.

Does it work on Android, Apple Watch or CarPlay?

Siri Shortcuts are Apple only, so Android isn't supported. Shortcuts you make on your iPhone usually also work through Siri on Apple Watch and CarPlay.

Do I need Lifetime Pro?

Yes, to ask Siri about your own saved hunt zones and waypoints. That needs Lifetime Pro and your personal Siri key, which you can unlock on this page or at buckeyehunterhub.com/pro. General questions like forecasts, wind, shooting light, rut phase and season dates work for everyone without Pro.

Is my Siri key safe? How do I reset it?

Your key only unlocks your own spots and is visible only to you. If you think someone else has it, tap Reset on this page and paste the new key into your shortcut.

My iPhone doesn't have the Shortcuts app.

Download Shortcuts free from the App Store. It needs iOS 13 or newer (iPhone 6s and later).

Hey Siri, Ask Buckeye Hunter Hub

Ask Siri for deer and waterfowl forecasts, fishing, wind, weather, shooting light, rut phase, season dates and more. Siri answers out loud using your phone's location. Setup takes about 2 minutes on iPhone.

Your hunt zones & waypoints

Pro

Ask Siri about your own spots by name, like "deer forecast at North Ridge tomorrow." Your key is private to your account. Only you can see it here, and you can reset it any time.

Works on iOS 13 or newer (iPhone 6s and later).

Older iPhones can't run it. If the Shortcuts app isn't on your phone, download it free from the App Store. Button names in Shortcuts can differ slightly between iOS versions, but the steps are the same.
