The Top & Most Influential Hunting Blogs

Here is an UPDATE to our very popular post.  And don’t forget to click ‘LIKE’ if you want to see more great posts like this! –  – One of the bloggers that we wanted to feature on our list,  Jay Say from Wired Outdoors, was off in Texas hunting at the time.  After his hunt, we were able to catch up with him and updated our list with his information…

When planning our launch for the Game Glide ultra light deer sled, we decided to have a Blog on our website to help keep us in touch with you, the hunters.  We felt that the blog would help us to entertain you, while keeping you posted about the cool stuff that is going on with the Game Glide and to help us to get your feedback about it.

After making this decision, we realized that we didn’t know much about blogging, so we started reading other blogs.  We found a number of blogs that we really liked due to the quality of their posts and the entertainment/information that they provided to us.

We compiled a list of our favorites and some of the most popular ones on the web for you.  The criteria for inclusion on this list is not scientific. The order of this list in NOT important.  We didn’t want to rate the blogs becuase they appeal to us and others in different ways, so we are ordering them below in the order that they responded to our request to provide us with a one line summary of their blog and a short quote about why it is successful…
