[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 312208, member: 605"] I went to the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg Pennsylvania in February 2020. The National Rifle Association puts it on. Hunters everywhere. And then there was this little BHA booth. If a gentlemen was 25 or older, they let them pass. If someone passing their booth looked younger than 25, they were after them to sign up. Many unsuspecting young guys did. The CEO of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Land Tawney, likes to sell you a visual that BHA was an idea born around a campfire in Oregon. Not hardly. Land Tawney worked for the National Wildlife Federation for years as a regional director. They have used him to start up many non-profit orgs such as Vanishing Paradise down south to clean up some of the money British Petroleum had to dish out after deep water horizon. And then there is Montana Hunters and Anglers Action which funnels out of State dark money to elect democrat candidates in MT. Like a bag man Tawney and others like him carry the dark money from Trout Unlimited to Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership to Ducks Unlimited or whatever non-profit controlled opposition org needs it. Remember the Clean Water Conservation Measure just a few years ago trying to divert 5% of oil revenue income away from the ND General Treasury into their coffers. Ducks Unlimited spent $5.4 million. Some guys on here ask, "why can't we have our own chapter without being affiliated with a national chapter?" Because your $35 dollars won't buy much. These national orgs don't care about your $35 bucks whether they collected it or not. That is not where their income is derived from. What they need is your signature. Once they have it they represent you. This is Land Tawney: [ATTACH=CONFIG]46853._xfImport[/ATTACH] The North Dakota BHA has a website. [url]https://www.backcountryhunters.org/north_dakota_chapter_board[/url] The Board has profiles and it seems most are biologists or have degrees in wildlife management.
