"Our first launch, GoFISHn, has been a success," says Ned Desmond, president and founder of GoSPORTn, Inc., "and we're aiming to repeat that experience with hunters and hunting businesses. There are thousands of small businesses that will benefit from our easy publishing tools to tell their story online in words, pictures and video. Our system is built to help ensure our members do well in Google and Facebook, without the need to pay for advertising. We're confident that GoHUNTn will emerge as a great marketing tool for small businesses and an entertaining and informative destination for all hunters."

Anyone interested in hunting can follow the action on the homepage of GoHUNTn or on www.facebook.com/gohuntn, the Facebook home for GoHUNTn.

"Hunting and shooting are among Americans' grandest traditions, and Americans spend nearly $23 billion yearly on hunting equipment, trips and other expenditures," says Desmond, who started hunting just a few years ago and eagerly awaits the start of whitetail season in Maryland. "We hope GoHUNTn will help attract new hunters and shooters to this wonderful sport and deepen of the enormous contributions hunters make to conservation in this country."
