Difficulties of Going Hunting Out of State



 So where do you go? Oh yeah, public land! It is cheap(ish) to get a license, you can hunt for as long as the license allows, and you get the raw feeling of hunting in the wild. Unfortunately, public hunting places are often very crowded. Just like any public land, people love to utilize our magical home. Hunting on public land means sharing the land with other hunters. Just imagine this… You wake up at 4 AM, it is cold, it is foggy, you find the perfect spot to scout herds of elk. After hours you finally spot the perfect bull. It is now 7 AM and from across the hill you spot a bright orange vest, it is another hunter. CRAP… The elks see the other hunter and runs; your shot is ruined. So, public land did not work out, what else is there?

Guided Hunts are another resource you can utilize when hunting in a new area. Simply Googling “Guided Hunts Near Me” will give you multiple businesses that offer guided hunts. Sure, that will be fun. Having a personal guide that can show you the ins and outs of a new location! The downside is how expensive it is. We are talking about $5,000 for 7 days! On top of tags, licenses, lodging expenses and more, oof!

Then, there’s private land. There are a couple of options when it comes to hunting on private land. For example, you can lease the land. Meaning you pay to get excusive rights to that land for a specific amount of time. You can also build connections with landowners to receive permission to hunt on their land. But, if you do not have the courage to go door knocking and have the personable skills to convince a landowner to allow you to use their private land, you are about out of luck.

 That is where EZHNT comes in to play. Our team is working hard to develop an app that allows landowners to post their land, and sportsmen to rent land to hunt on. Our mission is to alleviate the aches and pains of trying to find land to hunt on. Our app will allow sportsmen to search land near them or in a specific area and get in contact with a landowner. The app is designed to create a smooth and easy interaction amongst landowner and sportsman to accomplish a very specific goal, easy hunting. The team behind EZHNT has been working hard to establish a fan base and develop this app. We would love to hear from you on how you this this app would be beneficial or not. Let us know in the comments below or on our Facebook Page/Group called EZHNT.
