There are many online websites that people can get an
overview of all similar sites like Travelocity, Expedia or Kayak. These sites allow people to compare different
sites for the best reviews and even the best prices. These cover anything from travel, flights,
and hotels while other not so prominent sites like Angie's List cover local
babysitting services. These sites give
the consumers the opportunity to explore product of service alternatives before
they purchase the product. There are
actually several hunting related websites that do the same things. These websites range from reviewing guides
and outfitters to testing and reviewing hunting products. While there are several websites that review
guides and outfitters I have found the one that will best help you plan your
next hunting trip.
Outfitters Rating is a great place to start searching for
information on your next hunting trip.
If you’re an outfitter or guide service, Outfitters Rating wants your
information as they can enter you in their list of guides to benefit both
parties. Outfitters Rating has several
different ways to start your planning process.
You can select by location, species, or by guide and outfitters names.
When selecting location you get to choose a continental region,
which lights up when you select it.
Once the region is
selected you can then go to choose a state or smaller country depending
on where you choose. Once a smaller area is chosen you choose an animal
that you would like to hunt, or a guide service that you would like to
hunt with. The picture below is the results of selecting Nebraska.
When selecting a species under this option it
will take you to a page showing the guides services and their overall rating listed on the right that
offer hunts for the species.
When
clicking on the guide service on either page they will take you to the
guide
page with reviews and content of previous hunts that past hunters have
shared. The guide's page listed the detailed description of the
overall rating and the ratings of each part, such as food, lodging, and
game animals seen. (below)
When clicking on the Outfitters, Guides,
Charters box link from the homepage (1st top photo) it will take you to a
page similar to the one above with the guides and outfitters and their
rating listed under each animal starting with Alligator all the way to
Zebra. Then once you click on a guide service under the animal it will also take you the guides page shown below.
The species link gives you a page listing every game animal species listed on the site. You can either choose a description of the animal or search for guides and outfitters in different areas that offer hunts for that animal.
This is just one example of many online
sites that categorize and rate hunting and guide services to benefit
consumers. This site also has ads on the bottom or sponsors such as
Ziess Optics and Europtics as mostly hunters and outdoors men & women visit the site. With all the information available on the internet this is an excellent way to take advantage of it by helping you make educated decisions with your hunting trips.
