Hey guys, I want to introduce a new partner to Hunt Talk. A little background as to how it came about.
Many of you who have been here since I took over remember when I was trying to provide detailed information of all the popular western states. When we loaded that up, it got a lot of traffic.
Unfortunately, to provide that information and keep it updated was a monumental task, even with the help of some great Hunt Talkers. After a couple years I took it down, as I just did not have time to stay on top of it. Bad information or dated information is worse than no information.
Since then I have been looking for a place that a lot of the same information could be found without going to each and every state website. I get tons of emails and questions about the states we hunt, how to draw tags, how to find places to hunt, etc. I continued to search for a place to send folks with those questions that would be much more useful than my email replies. Nothing ever impressed me until last October.
I was doing some research on a New Mexico hunting unit when I came across a hunting resource, goHUNT.com/INSIDER. It looked like all I had hoped to provide here, plus a lot more. Lots more.
I lurked on their site and tried to learn what they were up to. A lot of good tips and other information, in addition to some cool stories. In December, I got to visit with them at their Elk Camp booth. Nothing like a face to face meeting to get a feel for how informed people are on the topics we discuss here.
In early January, I decided to become an INSIDER of their website. I wanted to learn more of what they are doing and hopefully pick up a tidbit or two that helps me in my application strategies. The information they provide on each unit of these western states is very helpful, even for the guys who have been doing it for twenty years, as have I.
I asked to meet with them when I was done with my SHOT Show meetings. I wanted to see what they had planned for their site, what services they intended to expand to, and what states they would be covering. The meeting was very helpful.
When I got back to Montana I asked if they had any interest in working together. They are providing a lot of information I could never provide. What they have in store will be much more than what they are offering today.
You all know how picky I am as to the companies we associate with. I have many requests to work with others who are providing digital information to hunters. Until I came across goHUNT.com, none of those other websites were a fit for our users. After these meetings and phone calls, I am confident that our members can benefit from the information provided and for those wanting even more, the INSIDER subscription will be worthwhile. It’s one of the best $149 a western hunter could spend.
So with that, welcome the guys from goHUNT.com. They will be hanging out here, participating in forums, and answering questions you may have of their site and their services. If you see “goHUNT.com” in a signature line, I approved it.
When you have time, go over and take a look at their site. There is a lot on their site that applies to guys like us.
