Jack Manly Site Review
On The Hunt
Since it first launched On The Hunt has characterized itself as a site that tries to do things differently and to stand out from the rest of the pack --with satisfying results. When the site first launched it set itself apart with its model selection & directors. On The Hunt didn't have to seek out and recruit guys to appear in its videos—they were already provided by parent company Manhunt. The models were Manhunt members who agreed to have their “hookups” filmed all over the country and shown at On The Hunt. This unique idea was accentuated with another twist: the guys who shoot the videos are all big-time porn stars and directors! No straight guys doing the “gay for pay” thing, no made up scenarios.

On The Hunt evolved somewhat so that many of the models were working porn stars and some of the scenes were indeed set-ups. Solos & behind-the-scenes videos were also introduced giving the site more updates per week and giving members more bang for the buck. Even with this relatively more complex set-up On The Hunt's overall design remained very clean & straightforward, with clearly laid out recent updates plus enough pictures & descriptions, director credits, video previews etc. This design functions very well even as On The Hunt continues to evolve.


That brings us to 2011 where On The Hunt has gotten back to basics & its original premise of real Manhunt members "exploring their sexual fantasies with each other and the OnTheHunt members." Again these videos have no plots, storylines, scripts, etc and are shot in such a way as to make viewers feel like they're in the same room watching the action. In one shoot in Miami On The Hunt made sure that 99% of the guys had never been seen on camera before & applied via their Manhunt accounts to become a model for OnTheHunt. On The Hunt is also making good use of its ready made database of Manhunt members & recruiting them for videos.
As for the videos at On The Hunt they are well produced and directed but neither the camera work nor the editing is too slick. In other words they feel unrehearsed trying to keep that feel that the hook-ups are real. For the most part the videos are also of a nice length. In some cases the directors interview the guys and get them to open up about themselves. In addition to weekly updates on Tuesdays there are also weekly Bonus updates on Thursdays. These include deleted footage, behind-the-scenes footage and extra tidbits. Videos are DRM free & Mac compatible and are available in streaming format or can be downloaded as Quicktime, Windows Media, or iPod files in either low, med or high resolutions. On The Hunt has also taken the time to add a “sort” feature so that you can see the videos by dates added, models, key words or director.
The guys who appear here at On The Hunt come in all shapes and sizes and ages. You’ll notice right off the bat that diversity is a key element to this site and why it is so appealing. And if you want to see more of these guys On The Hunt provides a ton of high-res pictures that come in downloadable zip files. The files are chock full of pics of the guys and the action that ensues in their videos.

Membership to On The Hunt is as follows. If you join at the recurring rate of $24.95 your rate or you can join at the three month non-recurring rate of $59.95 (which breaks down to $19.95 per month) or join for one month only at $34.95. Obviously we recommend either of the first two options for the best deal.
