GoHUNTn is a property of Go Outdoor Sportn, Inc. a privately held social media company specializing in enthusiast media. Ned Desmond and Matt Kaufman are the founders, and Brian McClintock is the editor. GoHUNTn launched in December 2010 following the successful launch in December 2009 of GoFISHn.
When the GoFISHn site launched in December 2009, it offered open membership for anglers and small businesses that wanted to publish their fishing images, video and reports on a platform highly optimized for Google and Facebook. In 2011, the site saw more than 1.3 million visitors and is on track to more than double that in 2012. GoHUNTn, starting a year later, is on the same track.
The GoHUNTn Facebook page has 58,000 fans and continues to grow. The GoFISHn Facebook page has 195,000 fans.
In late March 2012, GoFISHn launched its first iPad app, The Year in Fishing, which is a collection of the best posts on GoFISHn in 2011 on subject covering the best fishing guides to record fish, celebrity, danger, crime, environment and much more. A detailed account of the project is on the GoSportn blog.
In April 2012, the site shifted from a custom technology platform to a Word Press site, while preserving most of the content and member profiles. Most of the old site’s urls were successfully re-directed to the new site. A detailed account of these changes in on our GoSPORTn blog. – May 2012
