[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 77582, member: 983"] All the conservation organizations do something for us as hunters. DU is an easy target for people. I am far from agreeing for with everything they do but they've made more of an impact that almost any other organization. I'll still buy a membership, I'm just not going to go to a fundraising banquet by them. I know the point IS fundraising, but that is about all I see anymore. And it isn't just DU. Being part of the organization used to involve more than just begging people for money and spending a bunch of your own. There is more to it than that. I really do like local organizations that spend money on local projects. Great to see those, they have a real impact on the area. As far as someone being required to allow hunting because they got seed, etc. That to me goes too far. We could take that a lot of different directions. Those people are still indirectly helping with habitat, etc. We may shoot a bird raised in their cover, who knows? For me it's about making membership to these organizations fun again. I love raising a buck for them but lets make it fun. I've seen some organizations have had fun shoots and other "hands on" events to fund raise. I really like the idea but it gets shot down because "you don't net enough per head". I've stressed enough over banquets, done enough slave labor trying to get underwriters. Its just not enjoyable anymore, at least the experiences I've had lately. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Oh, I forgot to add. DU is not a hunting organization. It's a conservation organization. [/QUOTE]
