About Huntervale.

How the site is made

Huntervale is published by the Fjords Team, a small independent publisher. We are not outfitters, and we are not a gear brand.

Every profile and guide is desk-researched from published sources - wildlife and game-biology references, state wildlife agencies, and food-safety agencies where game meat is involved - cross-checked, and written in plain language. We do not test gear, and we do not claim to have hunted every species or used every product we describe. Seasons, tags and rules differ by state and change every year: always confirm them with your state agency before you hunt.

The aim: cover every species a hunter actually pursues, with honest gear, honest seasons, and a clear answer to "how do I actually hunt this animal?"

What you'll find here

• 178 game species profiles - 81 big game, 87 birds & small game and 10 predators. Identification, habitat, seasons, methods, gear, shot placement, and where to find them.
• 50+ how-to guides - scouting, gear, optics, methods, field-dressing, and conservation. Updated as seasons change.
• No fluff sections - no "10 reasons hunting connects you to nature" filler. If a topic doesn't need 2000 words, it doesn't get 2000 words.

Editorial principles

• Independent. No brand pays for placement. Recommendations are based on published specifications, price and value.
• Honest about difficulty. If a species or hunt is genuinely hard, we say so - instead of calling everything "achievable."
• Ethics first. Legal, regulated, fair-chase hunting only. We cover conservation, hunter education, and respect for the animal.
• Affiliate-honest. Some links earn us a commission - disclosed on every page. Commission never influences a recommendation.

Who's behind it

Huntervale is published by the Fjords Team. We keep individual names quiet because the goal is for the content to be useful, not for the brand to be about us. How we work is set out in the editorial policy. Found a mistake, or want to reach us? Email hello@huntervale.com.
