Mashable.com is reporting that Facebook is about to release a new service around location features.  Today, there are many hunters on Facebook.  With the integration of a location based service, I’m sure we’ll be seeing many hunters posting their locations in the fields and woods on Facebook. 

Not to mention, we’re beginning to see the trend of hunters moving from old PHP based forums over to hunting communities on Facebook, known as Facebook pages.  Members will now be able to discuss their hunting topics coupled with the locations.  Right from Facebook, I’ll be able to tell when folks are at Cabela’s or BassPro Shops.

I’ll e expecting to see hunting stores such as Cabela’s and BassPro include Facebook location services in their marketing strategy.  One example could be for every person who “checks-in” to a certain store, is able to receive a 10% discount via email.  Or a person with the most visits to a store in a month is eligible to become the “Mayor” and is able to receive discounts.  As I mentioned previously, location based services are going to hit the hunting industry quickly, are you ready?
