Here is the E-mail being sent out to the people who signed up on the WHA site to win the Polaris.
— The World Hunting Association (WHA) today launched the definitive Web domain for hunters and extreme sports enthusiasts around the globe—www.worldhunt.com.
Interactive, engaging and memorable—with original, timely content, and best-in-class technology and user features—worldhunt.com can indisputably claim to be the central portal for hunters and extreme sport enthusiasts, offering premium content such as worldhunt.com TV – where you can see all of the WHA television programming, streaming videos of the WHA Girls, by-lined articles on hunting by the Pros and other hunting experts, exclusive, behind the scenes tournament coverage, virtual hunting games and much, much more.
For hunters, the day has finally arrived; WHA Commissioner David Farbman says, “the long wait of the hunting community for a central portal to share the excitement of the sport is now over.
“Worldhunt.com showcases the essence of everything that’s hunting,” Farbman says. “It features interactive, multimedia information about hunting that is both exciting and educational, making the thrill and tradition of hunting accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. And it’s the only place on the Internet that does it within the hunting community.”
Like a handful of other sites dedicated to particular sports, such as NASCAR or ultimate fighting, worldhunt.com sucks you in to deliver its promise of “everything hunting.”
“Today's ambitious and fast-paced society demands more than just text,
photos, and forums,” Farbman continued. “Worldhunt.com is a multimedia, video and gaming-oriented, interactive hunting portal that captures and holds an audience and keeps them engaged—from entertainment and education to information exchange.”
He added: “What other experience lets you be a silent participant in tracking big game—with the heart-pounding excitement of a “24” episode—as you stand alongside an experienced hunter who shows you the ropes? Where else can you go to find article after article about hunting tips and lore to improve your own game? Where else can you watch eight of the world’s most competitive hunters battle it out for the ultimate trophy.”
To take advantage of all that the site offers, a free membership provides access to all the premium content. In addition to providing coverage of its own WHA big game competitive tours, the site also features WHA-sponsored contests and competitions such as the current nationwide “The Hunt Is On!” college contest. The organization is awarding $7,000 in prizes to college fraternities, in a search for the most creative and clever videos or photos that symbolize the phrase “The Hunt Is On!”
Frat boys with cameras are invited to load, aim and shoot an activity or scene representing a “hunt” of any sort—as long as it’s legal and not too explicit to post publicly. Videos need to include “The Hunt Is On” on-screen or on the soundtrack, while digital still images must show the phrase somewhere.
Entries in the free contest will be eligible for eight cash prizes, other giveaways and online glory for creators of winning videos and images that will be posted at the WHA site. “The Hunt Is On” refers to the inaugural WHA Tour event that will feature eight professional hunters this fall in Gladwin, Mich.
The idea for the site comes from deep inside the brain of Farbman, a successful real estate magnate and an experienced, long-time, passionate hunter, who believes that the community of hunters avidly share a set of common values, that are marked by excitement, strategy, skill, anticipation, adrenaline, and even euphoria.
“It’s really a dream come true,” he says. “If you’re a hunter, you already know and have been waiting for something like this,” he adds. “If you’re not, here’s an all-access pass to the most fascinating content and the most exciting competitions you will ever see.”
Farbman’s WHA is leading the charge to kick the hunting industry up to an entirely new level. By launching worldhunt.com and a competitive hunting tour, the WHA is showcasing some of the finest hunting experts in the world who will compete for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money.
This new platform is sure to bring awareness of the sport and its traditions to new generations of hunters, while showcasing the passion and skills of the professional hunter in full-scale competition. With worldhunt.com, the WHA is bound to recruit and retain many new hunters into the sport and perhaps reverse a two-decade decline in numbers.
