How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I used to use the Oregonlive Hunting Forum. How did you find the ifish hunting forum? Scroll up and answer the poll please.
About 3 years ago I was told (by rank and ehunter) about this ifish forum. I took a glance at ifish and thought "too much fishing talk as I didn't see the hunting section. Thanks for pointing it out to me again Rank.
I thought it would be good to learn how everyone found the ifish hunting forum.
My poll may not have all the options so perhaps a few could just post their story.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I was a frequent user of the Salty Dogs forum, and saw the hunting forum from that.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
 I was looking for my truck keys and wallet, and it was right there.
I don't ever recall not seeing it ? I am on the fishing side more than the hunting side, but I know I was looking here in the beginning.
It's funny, there is alot of bird talk (as well as big game), I have not shot a bird in 20 years, but I still read every thread. Its good stuff and seems to be a great group.
I still chase 4 legged stuff.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I was searching on google for the gutless elk quarting method, and it sent me to this site, and have been hooked ever since.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I found it when Jennie added it to the rather short list of boards that existed many moons ago. I was already hooked on ifish, so it only made sense to stay with the best!

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
Thanks to all those who took part in this poll. I noted that even when there were only 15 polled that the first choice was holding at over 50%.
Also I found it interesting that about 0% were informed of ifish while at a hunters club gathering.
As always other choices come to mind after a poll is over. Gun store,Shooting or trap range would have been other possible places to learn about ifish.
I think Oregonlive was a good forum except that it was not monitored for bad language and behavior.
Thanks to all who created and advance ifish.

I heard about when I was working at Fishermans, someone came in and was handing out T-shirts to the employee's. Then a friend of mine Billyb1970 got on it and told me about it and said it was good so I joined.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
pretty sure It was I that told ehunter and Steven about this site. Was hoping they would check it out, those two made it worth reading the hunting forum at oregon live and are always giving info and news i find good to read, and now i'm done patting myself on the back.

A buddy of mine always talked about ifish for the fishing forum, so I started checking that out. Then I made my way over to the hunting side.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I read about IFISH on BlacktailCountry.com. Thank you for the site, it suits me better being more local topics than BC.com.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I was living in VA and driving out every year to fish for Springers for a couple of months. One of the guys I had in the boat one day mentioned the website and I became a regular. After a couple of years of reading the threads I couldn't stand it anymore and moved back permanently in 2003.

Re: How Did You Find ifish forum. Poll
I was refered to this site by another Ifish member I have some other sites but this feels like home while I have not met every one on here I have met a few people. I like the people on here even though we don't all agree that makes it interesting and it is more local than some national hunting sites I have visited and I really like that.

:lurk: Read about it somewhere a few years ago. Maybe the Oregonian or some magazine. Checked it out briefly, started looking more seriously about a year ago.
