Game Pages

One of the coolest features of the iHunt website is the amount of information available about different animals that can be hunted in the U.S. This article will walk you through how to view and find everything you need to know about your potential game.

The first step is to figure out what animal you want to hunt. In this scenario we're going to look for Black Bear. Since we know that Black Bear is considered Big Game we're going to select the 'Big Game' link on the menu. 

Once you get onto the Big Game page you can search for your animal of choice two ways - text search or by viewing the list. The text search utilizes auto fill text so that when you enter a few letters suggestions will appear that match what you've entered. 

 

The second way to search for your animal of choice is by scrolling through the list. Since the lists are alphabetical, Bear is not far down the list. 

 

 

Now that we've found the animal we're looking for, you can select the 'View More' link or the title or the image. This will take you to the animal profile page. 

 

There are four tabs available in the animal profile page, Info, Gallery, Video and Regulations Calender. The Info tab is a brief description of the animal that describes Physical Features, Habitat, Diet, Meat and Behavior. The Gallery and Video tabs are images and videos submitted by iHunt staff and site users (if you have images you'd like to see on the site contact us!). The Regulations Calender is something you will not see on any other site. It is an interactive game calender that is comprehensive for the entire country. 

The first step in using the calender is selecting what state you want to hunt in. In this example we're going to show you two possible scenarios, a state that doesn't have regulations and a state that does. The first state we'll look for is Alaska.

As you can see nothing populates. There are two possible reasons for this: 1) The animal can be found in the state but can't be hunted 2) The animal can be found in the state and the regulations have not been released yet. You may also search for a state and not find it on the list. That means the animal can not be found in that state. Next we'll look at Arizona. 

As you can see multiple hunting seasons take place in Arizona for Black Bear. The easiest way to learn how the calender works is to play with and click things - don't worry, you won't break it! If you'd like details about a season you can left click on it on the calendar and a pop-up window will appear. Or, you can scroll below the calendar and see all of the seasons listed in a collasped format (by left clicking their titles you can view all of the details). 

Also, you can scroll throug the year at different time rates. If you left click in the upper 3/4 of the calendar and move your mouse left or right the calendar will move week by week. If you left click in the lower 1/4 of the calendar and move your mouse left or right the calendar will move month by month. Enjoy!
