Very interesting points K.

Let me see if I can gather my thoughts on the giveaway/subscription model for hunting businesses on the Internet.

I’ll take a look at the ones you’ve mentioned.

Thank you for the comment.

Dayne,
I saw a contest on TV (Sportsman Channel 605 – DirectTV) and forgot the website and stumbled upon your content after Googling the best hunting websites. I have been reading your articles, tips, checked out the 5 that get it, and don’t recall ever spending so much time at one sitting from a single search result. Fantastic site!
This year, in just a few months, I went from researching a good gun buy to arming for self-defense, total preparedness, hunting, to all out outdoor obsession. With an MBA I have been intrigued by the revenue generating ability for someone to have fun hunting all over the world and others pay for their working-vacations! I saw sites like SportsmenOfNorthAmerica who give away a hunting trip a week to their members, to some of the ones you mention here. Also Magnumhuntclub is another. You didn’t mention contests or give aways, but there is a huge draw there for folks who don’t have $5k-$15k to blow on a hunting trip, but for free, or $5-$10 a month are willing to join. There is so much valuable info free on the net, I can’t see paying for it, without a chance to win something. Maybe I’m just spoiled. What is your take on those sites?

Ben, that’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing. You’re right on the money with that thought. I’d love to see a hunting photo sharing site with geotagging. With Google Maps capabilities I’m sure it’ll be standard on hunting sites in the future. It’d be great to see photos, suggestions for guides/outfitters, tips for hunting, etc. for areas of interest. Great stuff. Thanks again.

Love the post. I have a ton of ideas for a great hunting site. Not to “give my idea away”, but I thought it would be great to have geotagged hunting photos, so if I want to see what everyone got in the area I hunt, viola…if I want to plan a trip to sasquetoon, viola, I see photos according to region. Hunting/fishing is very specific to location when you think about it. A ten pointer in eastern PA is a big deal…in sasquatoon, its a baby.
