I can't speak to your post in particular, but in general in would be extremely difficult to PM everyone who's posts are moved from one forum to a more appropriate forum. With very rare exceptions, when a thread is moved, a pointer to the new location is always left in the original forum so that everyone will know where it went. Your thread is no exception ("A question for hunters"). If you click on that pointer in the old forum, it will automatically take you to the new location. So in reality your thread is now located in two different forums.

We always assume that anyone who starts a thread or has any interest in a thread will be looking for that thread on a regular basis and notification of the move isn't necessary. I feel that is a valid assumption.
