This is a head scratcher!

Try to read a couple paragraphs of this

Looks like a spam web page. I wouldn't trust the links or click 'em.

I thought Barbour Outfitters might have written this 

[Huntboy]

Maybe who ever did is just related.

[Jonathan_S]

I thought Barbour Outfitters might have written this 

Or maybe proof-read it

I thought Barbour Outfitters might have written this 

I think maybe the same guy that "hacked his web page" hacked this one also.

The WDFW links are safe.
 
I sent him an email letting him know that it appears that his site has been hacked.

Here's the response:

"Steve,
     Thanks for the note. I am not sure what you are referring to but if it’s the gabble-de-gob text that you are seeing, that is intentional. We design websites to appear in search engines. We have software that inputs the correct words and phrases in order to garner attention from all the top search engines. We were looking for “Washington Bear Hunting” as our main goal on this website.
     We fill a given website with items to maximize it to appear very high in search engines under certain key words. We then let it sit for several months to make sure it’s solid in good search engine positioning. Once that occurs we sell the domain and a person can put their own content on it or redirect it to their own website. It doesn’t make sense to anyone now and visitors are often confused. But once it’s ranked #1 (or in the top 5 in all the major search engines) we think it will be a good item for some hunting guide or outfitter to buy and do with what they like. Sorry for the confusion though and thanks for writing. Please contact me if you have any additional questions.

I dunno..  I've been in the IT business for years and have never heard of posting gobbildy gook for this reason. There are free ways to get your site registered with search engines. As a site gets used, as people post to forum threads, the key words will get cached in the search engine databases. If nothing else, put the key words to good use in well formed sentences and get the site going with readers/users.

He is domain name squatting (cyber squatting), you register a bunch of commonly used names, then sell them to people who want an "established" domain name. Who usually do not know any better.
Perfect example of the flawed logic any advertisement is good advertizement, as long as they make their per click money.

It's stupid marketing becuase the person who buys the site already has lost most customers because of its current content of nonsense.

As your guide leans over your shoulder and softly says...

"Over there by that high mountain outfitter deer fox overhanging tree, do you see him bear elk outfitting??!!"... "dagnabit he's spike camp horses turkey camps moving across that hill behind that cougar winter apply WDFW torn up patch of onions March 10th!!"... "shoot him mules for packing deadline book now deer bears elk experience
 gobbledygook!!!!!"

This is an old method but most people would make the font color the same as the background so users would not see it. Text placement would be at the bottom of the page or between paragraphs.

Wooowwwwwww

What he is doing is trying to sell web domain names to stupid people.  The content he has up is designed to be attractive to Google so that the site ranks well.  He will then sell the site to a bear hunting guide who thinks they will get a high ranking site.  Once that guide puts up their content the site rank will drop because the content is different.  Meanwhile, the website guy already has his money.

Google is putting a lot of effort into detecting which sites have real content and which do not.  Someone mentioned the trick of putting text like that up in the same color as the background.  Google knows about that so don't expect it to work any more.  Google also knows about putting lots of text like that way at the bottom of the page.  Search engine optimization is an arms race between scammers like that website guy and companies like Google that want to provide meaningful search results.

Meanwhile I think that website is generating poetry:

Over there by that high mountain
outfitter, deer, fox, overhanging tree,
do you see him bear elk outfitting?
