Whitetail Domains Launches Ranch & Herd Management System and HuntingMall.com

Richmond, TX (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Whitetail Domains announced today the release of www.HuntingMall.com -- the first aggregator of hunting gear and accessory stores in North America. With this announcement, hunters from Canada, the U.S., and Mexico gain access to a one-stop, online shopping experience for virtually any hunting related product on the market. With major retailers like Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, L.L. Bean, Dick?s Sporting Goods, Amazon, and many more stores all exposing their inventories over the web, HuntingMall.com offers hunters the lowest available prices on practically any hunting item desired.

Company president, Walt Powell, commented ?With hunting season in full swing, HuntingMall.com allows hunters to find the best products from the best brands at the lowest prices in the market, all from one single website.? Hunters shopping for Optics can expect to find brands like Bushnell, Leupold, Leica, Nikon, Swarovski, Zeiss and more. Apparel shoppers can find products from Browning, Columbia, Mossy Oak, Real Tree, Scent-Lok, and Under Armor. Comparable brand names can be found via HuntingMall?s search engine in archery, electronics, guns and knives, and hunting accessories.

Simultaneously, Whitetail Domains launched another first-of-its-kind service designed for whitetail deer (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/) hunters who desire to better manage their whitetail deer hunting (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/) operation with the intent of growing healthier herds and bigger bucks. Called the ?Habitat and Herd Management System?, users of this fee-based system can automate all aspects of their ranch such as Hunter and Member management, Stands, Feeders, Food Plots, and their live and harvested deer log.

The system provides land owners, ranch managers, wildlife biologists, and hunters with ranch and herd performance reports that display charts and graphs that guide them in their management efforts. Feed consumption rates per animal and per acre, food plot acreages and planting rates, and game harvest logs by age and type are easily recorded and reported on. The system also prints Managed Lands Deer Permit (MLDP) reports that are ?state required? reports for qualifying Texas ranches.

Macy Ledbetter, a former Texas Parks & Wildlife state biologist who is now nationally known as a leading private practice wildlife biologist had the following comment on the system: ?This is the full meal deal for ranch management and record keeping, and there is nothing like it on the market today?. Powell reported that in the first week after the system was launched, hundreds of hunters spread over hundreds of thousands of acres had already subscribed to the new system.

Whitetail Domains also announced several new features to its existing social network for whitetail deer hunters (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/). Key among these new features was the addition of photographs of all contest entrants from most of the major whitetail deer contests (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/Guests/ContestDeer.aspx) in Texas. Through agreements with Los Cazadores, Muy Grande, Venado Macho, and the Texas Gulf Coast Deer Competition, the company has aggregated prior-year contest winners, and every contest entrant for the current year on a single website. More contests nationwide are coming online soon.

Another new feature is a live deer cam (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/LiveDeerCam/Cameras.aspx) where hunters can access a real-time camera feed from a solar/battery powered camera system in remote hunting locations. Users of this service can completely control the camera from their own PC, take and save photos, and enjoy a hunting-like experience even when they cannot actually be out hunting.

About WhitetailDomains.com

Founded in January, 2007, the company?s first launch was in April as a free social network dedicated to whitetail deer hunters. The website was targeted as an educational tool for hunters of all ages. The site included the ability to view photographs and videos of live and harvested bucks and rate deer (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/RateDeer.aspx) based on the user?s subjective rating, and the age and B&C score of the buck. An Articles and a Forums section were included to allow users to read educational articles written by industry experts, and to post their own questions and comments in multiple areas beyond general hunting like wildlife biology, archery, youth, and other areas of interest.

Subsequent launches included the extremely popular ?Shoot or Wait? video game that allows hunters to judge live whitetail bucks on the hoof (http://www.whitetaildomains.com/ShootOrWait/ShootOrWait.aspx). The game presents the hunter with a 5 second video of a live buck in the wild. The object of the game is to teach hunters how to judge the age of live deer, and to only shoot mature animals. During the 5 seconds, the hunter has to make a decision as to whether the buck is mature enough to shoot. After viewing 5 different bucks, the hunter may pause the game to see how they scored, or they can continue with a new set of bucks.
