If you want to discuss hunting topics with other hunters, you can hardly avoid online forums, especially in times of Corona. We have compiled the most important communities for experienced hunting professionals and young hunters here. Have fun interacting!

Wild Und Hund Forum

The online forum of the magazine Wild und Hund is the classic among the hunting online forums: For more than 15 years, hunters from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been exchanging information on any hunting-related topic: From general topics such as the right choice of rifle or shotgun for the inexperienced young hunter to special reloading techniques to highly specific types of bullets - the forum has a detailed discussion on every topic.

What catches the eye when using the portal is the traditional layout - the Wild und Hund Forum relies on the tried and tested and user-friendly. Consistency, however, is the site's greatest asset: some discussion threads go back more than ten years. If you want to access the concentrated swarm knowledge of generations of hunters, the Wild und Hund Forum is the right place for you.

Geartester

Geartester is Germany's largest hunting community, where hunters can exchange information mainly about their hunting equipment. Brands and manufacturers also find an opportunity on Geartester to present their products to interested hunters. However, these reports are marked, the focus is clearly on authentic reports: Recommended by hunters. Anyone can write and publish on Geartester, which makes the platform appreciated as objective and credible.

Geartester is a close partner of ours. On our product pages, we try to include appropriate, authentic hunter reviews, so that it is possible to get a comprehensive picture of a weapon quickly and easily.

In addition to the community, Geartester also makes an editorial appearance, primarily by producing high-quality hunting videos. Here are two popular examples:

Facebook groups

Facebook groups such as "Young hunters" or "Hunting opportunities, hunting trips, hunting permits (simple hunting)" are an important virtual place for hunters to exchange information about hunting experiences or hunting opportunities. The aforementioned groups are easy to find on Facebook and, in our opinion, offer the highest added value: the conversational tone is usually pleasant and a lot of opinions and information can be obtained quickly. Hunting opportunities or exchange of kills are also easiest to communicate via Facebook.

Instagram

Last but not least is Instagram. Especially when it comes to hunting impressions or hunter pictures, the platform focused on pictures is leading. It is easier to establish contact with influencers and experienced hunters via Instagram than perhaps on the Wild und Hund Forum, Geartester or even relevant Facebook groups. Many Instagram posts also bear witness to hunting friendships that have been initiated via this popular social media channel. Therefore, we can also recommend the use of Instagram to any hunter who wants to interact online with other like-minded hunters.
