What groups do you support and how?

[michhutr]

Having hunted and fished now for 45 years the outdoors have given me so much it could never be repaid. I have for years now tried to give something back in both time and money in my own way. I'm sure there are many out there doing more ans some doing much less. I hope we all do what we can to support the groups that support us.

I don't know how to set up a survey so I'll just ask who do you support ? I'm a member of the :

MUCC
NRA
MWTHA
NWTF
MCRGO

I support them through frequenting their banquets and (according to my wife) spend far too much money. I belong to a RMEF Chapter and serve on the committee. I volunteer for special projects for all groups listed and make yearly donations to each group.

Now that i'm in Hawaii i can't hunt ducks, carry pistols, or hunt grouse. So that is the about the only way i'm helping right now.:dizzy: But when I'm back on the mainland i'll frequent banquets and help with outings. I do keep in close touch with washington via email and letters.

it is good to see that some sportsmen are putting back for the future. Which reminds me, i need to renew my NTA membership.

Have you hunted turkeys in hawaii? Goats. Last time i was there i saw plenty of goats.
