Rhodesdale, Maryland March 24, 2008 – Sporting enthusiasts across the globe now have an online spot to share their love of hunting, fishing and all things outdoors — thanks to a new social networking site developed just for them. CamoSpace, launched last summer by Eastern Shore native Denny Reid, is similar in structure to other popular social networking sites, and geared for those that love the outdoor lifestyle.
CamoSpace, named for the popular camouflage donned by many hunters and sportsmen, is meant to appeal to anyone interested in the great outdoors. Built by sportsmen for sportsmen, members share pictures, stories and videos while communicating with fellow outdoorsmen from all over the country. Users can ask questions, share tips, or just have a friendly chat either with individual users or groups – all without having any fees associated with membership. Read more

In fact, through license fees and excise taxes, hunters and anglers generate $100,000 every 30 minutes for fish, wildlife and habitat programs. Read more
After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
