Hopefully Volumes has helped you out.
But if you (or anyone else) is wondering, here's a decent-enough way to get into hunts:

1. Go do something (Gather/Craft/Farm) in... pretty much any zone where you can find enemies to attack.
-Recommended areas = Mor Dhona or any of the Beast-Quest zones.
2. Watch your Chat Log for anyone shouting about hunts or invites to a hunt.
3. Go to the hunt.
4. When the hunt is over, and all the people are still there... shout out to the group and ask to join any Hunt LinkShell.

Nice people are nice and will invite you in
