In The News

Fishin' & Outdoor Trails

By Anna Minicucci

Mark Mingain's continued efforts to spread the word about hunting has expanded to another website that will do just that, and more; www.NEHunts.com includes the six New England states and New York's hunting info, news and forums where in- and out-of-state hunters may share experiences, tips and other hunting information.

The website layout for the new Web site is similar in form to RIHunts.com, Mingain's first Web site. There are avenues in forums, chat rooms and various hunting techniques to explore and bring hunters together at this common ground. Sure, there are other hunt websites and each has its own appeal; however, with nehunts.com a main attraction will be the site's regional settings with local, appealing exchanges about hunting within all New England states and New York.

Mingain has been able to harness participation within Rhode Island from DEM's Fish and Wildlife Division, where biologists respond to queries and suggestions from hunters and anglers about regulations and other pertinent wildlife management data.

It's a good partnership and appears to work well.

Boundaries of courtesy are strictly enforced by Mingain among those who participate in a wide range of forums, many of which have come about from his Web site participants who have initiated suggestions and offers to help with social/shooting events.

Expanding one's horizons always seemed to be at the heart of the creation for Mingain's initial website. Expect no less at nehunts.com, where the welcome mat is out.
