Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone.
Everyone knows what they mean.
What's more important is time that is known

Damned few organizations are as effective as RMEF in turning revenue into actually meeting their stated mission---which is a great accomplishment for wildlife and hunters.
They have my vote and support no matter what the uninformed or misguided sling around with a click of the button.
Bugle is the only mag I subscribe to (with a membership). I have saved everyone so that someday when I am pretty much tied to my rocking chair, I can re read them.
The benefits to the members and donors are great and if one of them gets a special bonus here and there, good.

For the record, this got me thinking and I went and joined RMEF.

That's interesting. If you're talking about conserving habitat, I'd like to hear about how youre putting your dollars to work. Care to elaborate? It is going to OHA NRA Oregon Firearms federation
The anti American Constitutional party (Democrat). Wants to dismantle your rights, limiting every aspect of your constitutional rights. Death by 1000 cuts is the tactic. Each cut bleeds constitutional rights to control you. Control is the goal.

Local is a good way to go, good on you.
Just curious though, what has RMEF spent money on that you object to, as opposed to other national organizations like NRA?

RMEF has plenty of Rich guys footing the bill. I will use my cash for less well funded Objectives.

I'm not a big joiner and have a less than positive impression of many of the self important folks who flock to governing boards of local organizations, less so most bigger organizations. But I like about everything I've seen of RMEF. They don't call my cell phone while I'm working to ask for money like the NRA idiots who still don't get the message. I like Bugle, I like the fact that guys in Michigan kill big bulls and that habitat in the West is preserved.
I didn't know Bigfin was on the board - but Ilke that too. I'll renew next year and may go to another banquet too. I will admit the prizes are the big draw for me at those, a buddy goes to a couple a year and dumps several hundred into the raffle. I think he's won 7 or 8 guns at least 2 times getting first choice. He has his own glass and screen business, works hard with his hands every day he isn't elk hunting and RMEF is his primary charity. Obviously one of the "Rich Guys" identified.
