ATTN: Ontario & British Columbia Hunters

Just joined the forum and figured I'd let everyone here know about my new hunting website. It's a completely free website dedicated to help hunters access hunting WMUs, information and regulations. You can search by animal or by hunting spot and the website will let you know what's in season automatically. Check it out and let me know what you think. As of right now I have Ontario & BC and I'm already working on Alberta.

www.WhatToHunt.com

Happy Hunting!

P.S. I'm not sure if this breaks the forum rules and if it does my apologies and I'll take it down immediately.

That is OUTSTANDING.

Well done!

Fantastic! This should be on every hunting site!

Thanks guys, I'm just a 1 man crew so if you find any errors in the code or data feel free to contact me VIA the contact form!

Well Done !! Look's like a lot of work !

Wow very cool !!

outstanding thank you

So I checked out the site, and it cam up with this! :)
Currently in Season for Colorado

Sorry, there is no data for the given WMU and hunting date.

Please try again.

Works flawlessly for my WMU. Awesome, thank you!

looks great!!

Well done sir. That's amazing for a one man crew. Kudos to you.

Cheers

Looks good!

I am impressed, not very easy to do. Just as this work you have done is not. Thank you and keep up the great work . Don

Tanuk....Freaking awesome. Now make an APP for that !!!!! charge for it too!!! Id pay 5$ for that. Just add some spot on the app for notes, maybe save a map for where your hunting where your stand, animal sign, game pictures, like a few hunting apps lol

Now besides that... Ill throw a curve ball... City/township boundaries... Ive contacted a few to see where I can start shooting for coyotes and pest...Well the maps I have been getting look like they are on placemats that the person drew on. Very hard to figure it out.

But again Ill be putting this in my favorites for sure.. and once you make an app for iphone ill be all over it lol

So how did the program know I was in Denver? :)

Awesome website , I shared it on a facebook group im in for hunting in Ontario.

Really cool, love the distinct lines given when you search a WMU. Keep it up.

I think the page detects your location via IP that you are using. I accessed it on my phone to see how mobile looked and it brought up Quebec. I know Rogers has servers they use from Quebec so that is what I assumed the site does.

Only glitch I saw with it (looked at it briefly) was that the floating menu bar in mobile would come down to middle of screen and cover some of the page and was somewhat annoying.

Very cool!:thumbup:

Great work!!!!! noticed the early goose bag limit was 5 for WMU 80 (should be 10), but that is beside the point.

I noticed some Migratory Bird stats are off, I'll updated all Ontario tonight.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Like I said though, a fantastic resource for people. Now if you could also incorporate the current bird migration:):):)

Your site looks great. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

IN WMU 48 small game license is not valid from spring (June 15 I think) until Aug 30 or something like that.

Souther Ont is Sept 4th, Central is the 2nd:)

Nice tool to help hunters out. One thing I noticed was the black duck daily bag limit shows 2 and it should be 1 as they lowered it. Watch the early closing date also. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this, I'm going to update all migratory bird in Ontario tonight. Please shoot me any bugs via my website as I hardly check this forum.

Thanks again

You still did a very good Job. I'm guessing your a web developer that is just starting out?

Good work,

There is a similar app, for iphone, android, and now blackberry, called "ihunter" works well. Same idea as this.

Also has the regs, and covers BC to New Brunswick, worth checking out.

Awesome!!!!

Well done, good graphics, simple to understand with lots of drop down data. I've saved to my bookmarks bar, will check often and advise if I see any flaws.

I figured that, just thought it was funny! I haven't had much of a chance to look through it, but what I saw looked pretty good!

Useful site, but needs information verified. WMU80:
DEER


Oct 1, 2014 to Nov 2, 2014 - not true. The season is till Dec. 31 with two weeks of controlled hunt in the middle.

This is patially correct, our season has two closed controlled hunts where the regular season is closed so it shoud rean Oct -1 till Nov 2nd, Nov 10th - Nov 30, Dec 8th - Dec 31 (not sure when second controlled is?). But during the controlled hunts the regular deer season is closed and is written this way in the regs.

The site is correct, try selecting different dates like Nov 5th it gives the controlled date, then try Dec 12th it gives you Dec 8 - Dec 31 as the season date, which is correct.

Got it.

I have some good news for you... I was trying to find out more about a very obscure little WMU near Ottawa and Google pointed me right to your site... I was blown away by the site and wondered why I had never heard of it before. After reading this thread and seeing you only really put the site up a few weeks ago, I can understand why.

The fact that you are getting top ranking on Google is awesome for such a new site. Good work!

Wow!! That is an awesome Web site!! Great job!!

Great site.
You HAVE bugs but that is always the case. Just a request... when you find the time could you add in the non-game animals you can hunt..IE crows, groundhogs. You may already know there are lots of changes in how small game is classed and handled across Canada. In Ontario and lot of other places rabbits for example have a open and closed season as well as Red Squirrels are protected. But in Alberta there is no closed season on rabbits and Red Squirrels are fair game for both resident and non-resident hunters.
