15+ Hunting Companies Connecting With Bloggers
Quality hunting companies have shown eagerness to connect with bloggers
After writing How to Connect with Bloggers
Although there are instances of great relationships amongst bloggers and hunting businesses, it still seems like there is a disconnect existing between the two sets of passionate folks.
As Ben of Ben G. Outdoors
Ben is exactly right.
Hunting Companies Need to Reach Out and Respond
It’s amazing that some companies will ignore emails from bloggers that are eager to write about them and their company.
Who turns down free, positive press?
Some companies even pay top dollar for the kind of media write-ups bloggers actively engage in.
In my experience, there are a number of quality companies that are willing to connect and engage with bloggers. These companies aren’t looking at the connection as a one-way street either. They are willing to offer value to bloggers (in various forms).
Bloggers Need to Reach Out and Respond
Even the content and ideas a company can provide seems like something bloggers should be willing to accept. Access to companies and people in the hunting industry that are seen as authorities in the hunting world should get bloggers excited.
There is value in a relationship for both bloggers and hunting companies. With little effort on both sides there can be value served to the audiences of both parties and each can grow over time as they share content and media.
Let’s take a look at companies willing to connect with bloggers…

You’ve got some great companies here Dayne. Ironically I’ve been in contact with four of these companies with my day job and another three of them with my blog. These are all companies that I’ve really enjoyed working with and they obviously get the importance of having an online presence. It’s so important for todays major companies to harness the power of the internet for their brands. Big props to all of these guys for being part of a new wave of hunting companies.
I’ve worked with africa hunting.com, Dream Pursuit,Ghillie Suit Source,Fish Creek Spinners, Land and Game, Bear Archery,Warrior Outdoors, MyBuckStory.com, Marauder Outdoors, Camo Vision, Magnet Gun Caddy, & Speedy Sharp
