There are thousands and thousands of hunting sites online. Someone who enjoys hunting and surfing the Internet could spend weeks just discovering new sites and evaluating them. Because so many new sites go up each day, it would be a never ending pursuit.
But because there are so many, that means that the majority of the hunting sites probably aren’t going to provide you with any new information. It’s best to find one or two or even a handful of hunting sites that you go to regularly for information and conversation in the form of forums and message boards.
Most of the popular hunting magazines have websites, and some of them have this type of user interaction. At the very least, you’ll find quality information on the sites that publish excerpts from their print magazine. To judge whether or not a site like this will be useful, look at the type of articles that are available on the site and whether or not the entire articles are there or if they offer just a paragraph or two. A trend in online sites that relate to certain types of magazines is to show only part of the article to hook the reader into wanting to finish it in the magazine. Sites like this can prove frustrating if you’re reading an article that has you very interested and you can’t finish it without going and finding a copy of the hunting magazine and purchasing it.
Some hunting sites instead condense the articles in their print magazine and give you a stripped-down version. This is far superior to only having the first part.
But by far the best hunting sites are those that are complete hunting portals online. Not only do they have original articles about hunting but they do have an active forum where people interested in hunting can meet to talk about a variety of topics. Look at the message board or forum and see how many members are registered. Scan the dates of the most recent posts to see how active it is. If you find a hunting site with several forum members but the last post was a couple of weeks ago, you’re probably not going to get very much out of the interaction there.
Active boards will have several replies to posts in the last couple of days and many posts that were started in the last couple of days. You can find hunting sites like this with active boards that are covering hunting in general or very specific to a certain game animal. Duck hunting sites may be very different from sites that deal with deer or elk hunting. And of course predator hunting like bear, coyote and big cats may have their own sites as well.
One of the best types of hunting sites covers all of these but have separate conversation areas for each type of hunter. The site will have sections for each type of hunting with its own articles and its own experts frequenting the forums.
