To those that don't like/support the RMEF, I'd challenge you to name an organization that you do support that you think does a better job or does more to promote and benefit Elk and other wildlife. Personally, I find it a little discouraging looking at numbers in Colorado. From my research, less than 10% of Colorado resident elk hunters are members of RMEF. Although a common fact that whatever charity, church, school, work, etc. you are dealing with, only about 5-10% of people actually step up to volunteer their time and effort unless they have a direct benefit! Volunteering is kind of a thankless job with little credit or thanks given but I've found most people that help, just have it in their heart to serve others. So THANKS to those that volunteer countless hours to further elk hunting, habitat improvement and wildlife enhancement for the benefit of others!
