Anyone who wants to exchange ideas about hunting topics with other hunters can hardly avoid online forums, especially during Corona times. We have compiled the most important communities for experienced hunting professionals as well as young hunters here. Have fun interacting!
Wild And Dog Forum
The online forum of the magazine Wild und Hund is the classic among hunting online forums: For over 15 years, hunters from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have been exchanging ideas on all hunting topics: From general topics like the right choice of rifle or shotgun for the inexperienced young hunter to specific reloading techniques to highly specific bullet types - the forum has a detailed discussion on every topic.
What stands out when using the portal is the traditional layout - the Wild and Dog Forum relies on proven methods and user-friendliness. Consistency is, however, the biggest asset of the site: Some discussion threads date back over ten years. Anyone who wants to access the collective knowledge of generations of hunters is in the right place at the Wild and Dog Forum.
Gear Tester
Gear Tester is Germany's largest hunting community, where hunters can mainly exchange information about their hunting equipment. Brands and manufacturers also find a way to present their products to interested hunters on Gear Tester. However, these reports are marked, and the focus is clearly on authentic reports: Recommended by hunters. Anyone can write and publish on Gear Tester, which is why the platform is valued as objective and credible.
Gear Tester is a close partner of ours. On our product pages, we try to incorporate suitable, authentic hunter reports, making it possible to quickly and easily get a comprehensive picture of a weapon.
In addition to the community, Gear Tester also appears editorially, mainly by producing high-quality hunting videos. Here are two popular examples:

Facebook Groups
Facebook groups like “Young Hunters” or “Hunting Opportunities, Hunting Trips, Hunting Permits (Simple Hunting)” are an important virtual place for hunters to exchange hunting experiences or hunting opportunities. The mentioned groups are easy to find on Facebook and, in our opinion, offer the highest added value: The tone is usually pleasant, and many opinions and information can be quickly gathered. Hunting opportunities or the exchange of game can also be most easily conveyed through Facebook.
Lastly, Instagram should be mentioned. Especially when it comes to hunting impressions or trophy pictures, the image-focused platform is leading. It is easier than perhaps on the Wild and Dog Forum, Gear Tester, or relevant Facebook groups to establish contact with influencers and experienced hunters through Instagram. Many Instagram posts also reflect hunting friendships that have developed through 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.
