Summary:
Hunting is an activity which has dual functions- one as a pass time and the other of an occupation. The thrill of catching a prey is something you won’t realize unless you become a hunter. Although hunting is not as easy a job as it seems, the arrival of hunting forums has certainly meant that it is no longer difficult to learn.

Hunting forums are a great place to update your knowledge base about hunting. The tips and tricks posted can come to your aide at any point of time.  And you can also learn a lot from the experiences of your fellow hunters. Thus, you can easily avoid the mistakes which others committed. And it’s not just about our benefit. Even we can post our experiences and thoughts on the forum and let others take full advantage of them.

The tips I read in some of the hunting forums were really effective.  One of them was that deer hunting is most effective at dawn or dusk because at this time of a day, the deer is most active.  One more was that it is better to find the food source of the animal.  You are most likely to trap it there. The third was to find trail marks of land animals.  They can give you good idea of the places the animal visits very frequently. Fourth was to build a really good set of notes. Your quest for a hunt can easily weaken your memory. The fifth tip I came across was to keep the body movements to a minimum. Impulsive body actions can easily scare off of the animal. And the most important tip- Be Ready. Hunting is an exercise where a moment of inactiveness can cost you a prey.

The two most visited hunting forums are that of deers and ducks. In Deer hunting forums, you can find information regarding all the different species of deers like Whitetail, Mule, Moose, Elk, etc. In these forums, discussions about the different weapons used for deer hunting are also carried out. Weapons like Bow & Arrow, Rifle, Muzzleloader and Shotgun are taken up.  Deer hunting forums are also a good place to sell off your hunting equipment. Here you can directly communicate with the buyer and bargain the rates. No third-party interference at all. You even get a chance to read about the different recipes of the deer.  Discussions about different hunting spots also take place.

There are bear & wolf hunting tips and stories with tons of pictures. Duck hunting forums are similar to deer hunting forums. Only difference is that ducks are the topic of discussion in the former. Also you can talk about goose hunting in here. You can even play online hunting games in these forums. They act as a perfect simulator for the actual activity. Photo sharing is a very popular feature of duck hunting forums. 

So we can easily see that hunting is no longer just an on-field job. There is a lot which goes in it off-field as well. And this is happening due to the advent of internet. The hunting forums provide an excellent opportunity to expand the fun of hunting. They are also responsible for growing number of local hunters. The e-presence of hunting is all to be seen!
