TRAKR Account Types
Regular TRAKR Account
This is the standard account type for tracking dog teams and drone operators. Experience level for this type of TRAKR account varies but rest assured, these trackers have worked hard to earn this position and are qualified to recovery your trophy.
Provisional TRAKR Account
Provisional accounts are a "trail period" type of account and were created to allow TRAKR staff to temporarily add unvetted and/or inexperienced tracking teams. Once a Provisional team has gained experienced or an experienced Provisional team has been fully vetted, then their account will be converted to a regular TRAKR account. Provisional TRAKR accounts are not allowed to charge a fee to track until their account is converted to a regular account, but they can accept tips.
Hunter TRAKR Account
The most common account type on the app, hunter accounts allow users to build a profile, add hunting weapons to their toolbox, access analytical tracking data, and if the need arises, submit a tracking request.
