Outdoor Recreation Website Aims to Ease Confusion
Sifting through government websites and browsing the web for outdoor recreation information, such as hunting, fishing, camping and more can be a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be according to DNR-Pro.org founder Tory McBroom. Tory discusses his company and how it can benefit outdoor enthusiasts.
Waterloo, IA, May 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Are you having trouble finding a good spot to camp, or finding out where you can get your hunting license? Maybe, fishing is your sport and you want to read up on fishing reports for your local lakes. Unfortunately, sifting through government websites and browsing the web for answers can be a time consuming and daunting task. Not anymore according to Tory McBroom, founder and CEO of DNR-Pro.org.
“What we have done is compile information for pretty much all outdoor recreational activities, be it camping, fishing, hunting and many more and neatly organized it for users in one site,” explains Tory. “We offer the same amenities as say your state’s DNR site offers, such as ordering your fishing or hunting license online, but take it a step further by offering a community for outdoor enthusiasts to interact, a library of how to articles and more.”
So where did this idea come from? Tory is an avid outdoor enthusiast with a passion for hiking and mountain biking and as he states, “Pretty much anything fitness related that I can do outside.” And his friends who would often join him enjoyed fishing and camping, as well. “We knew of all the best places to enjoy these activities in Iowa, but when we would venture outside the state, it would be difficult to prepare adequately.” This is because his friends would need to purchase a fishing license for the state they were staying, reserve a campground to stay at and locate trails to hike. “I would literally spend hours researching the internet for this information, so I basically came up with the idea to organize all this information, for all fifty states, in one website.”
When asked abut the future of the website, Tory explains that it’s completely up to the users. “I highly encourage visitor feedback from the users who come to my site,” he states. “I want my users to decide what information and tools they want to be able access, so I am constantly updating the site to reflect that.”
In an age where everything costs money, including information, it is a rarity to find informational resources and tools that don’t cost a dime.
“The beauty of this site is that it’s completely free,” explains Tory. “We just want our visitors to easily find what they are looking for so they can get out and enjoy doing the things they love to do.”
