Ags,
A few weeks ago an idea was brought up on this board (Thanks to Ragoo) to create a website that would serve as a “rolodex” of thousands of outfitters and guide services across the country. The idea is to help the average person find outfitters, read reviews of outfitters and more.
We decided to expand upon that idea and create a social networking site that will serve the purpose of the original idea as well as provide a method for hunters and outfitters to network with each other.
What if you could search for an outfitter by name, state or country, game available, amenities available, etc., and read reviews about them and then decide if you want to use their service. After the hunt you can become a “Fan” of that outfitter if you want to receive promotional messages from that service and more. Then let’s say that you make some new hunting buddies while on the hunt and might like to have them with you on the next hunt…simply search for them and add them as a friend. You can also add photos and tag your friends and outfitters in the photos. As you can imagine there are tons of possibilities.
For outfitters, you will be able to edit all of your details easily. It will be completely free for any outfitter to join and there will be options for the outfitters to promote their page on the site. For example, an outfitter might want to be a “Featured Outfitter”. These will be available for a very reasonable fee. All normal member accounts will be completely free all the time.
Here’s where we need your help. If you are an outfitter or if you know an outfitter, we would love to hear from you. We want to find out if there would be any reason you would object to being listed on the directory. We’d also like to get feedback from outfitters and hunters alike.
The website is not available for viewing at this time as we have taken a step back to do some research before we continue. We have included a few screenshots with this message to give you a very rough idea of how the site will look.
Please let us know what you think of the idea and if you have any ideas or comments please email me or reply to this thread. We are really relying on TexAgs for this project and we need your help to make this work.
