There is a really nice elk hunting ranch north of here that the RMEF owns. No access to members or any public, only rich donors.
The rich donors can fund the RMEF.
Care to explain where that ranch is at?
Seriously, I can assure you that RMEF does not own any ranches. Whoever told you that tidbit is completely misinformed.
As for the TV show, it is required to cover all of its own costs and contribute a profit to the bottom line. Whatever people think of it, not only does it make a profit, it is doing so in a manner that gives RMEF a lot of exposure that most brands would have to pay big money to obtain.
