I support groups that support me. I do not give money to groups that have had a direct hand in limiting my right to trap or own firearms.

I'm going to invite everyone from state and national leadership to livestock associations to get together and then expand as we begin to convene to layout and work our plan. If you are not sure what we are up against go to the PETA website or HSUS site.

I agree you should support the organizations that support the sport as well as companies that produce the stuff made in the USA! What has always bothered me is I pay out the butt for a hunting license and I never see any of that money going to improve my public hunting lands. They barely put crops in the fields or mow them consistently. I will say I doubt America has fallen so far as to stop eating meat and make farms animal indoor pets. People are dumb but they like their bacon and cheeseburgers more. Whenever ya'll get the militia started let me know am getting old and I'm always ready for a fight

At one time the NTA president got a salary of 100,000 a year.

Yeah,thats a good one.Another I've heard is "what have they done for me?"Some of us that have been around awhile have seen the deadbeats mooching off the rest of us.Even after all that's happening the amount of apathy is astounding.

One of the big complaints you'll hear is," I'm not a member because "they" did something I didn't agree with". Well the answer to that isn't to run away, but to become more active and try to steer the organization in the direction that is best for it. Instead, too many people have the attitude that if an organization isn't doing things their way, they're taking their ball and going home. Just because you don't agree with every decision about an organization's direction doesn't mean it's the wrong direction. Don't get mad and leave, support the organization and help it to grow. If your ideas have merit, keep trying to implement them. If they do have merit eventually they will probably get implemented. Running away and withholding support for an organization that's promoting something you're in favor of only hurts the activity you're in favor of.

I am a member of two Idaho trapping organizations but you are right the national level is not a bad idea at all either. I'll join them tonight.

I do agree with all that is said here but the last time I sent money to a trapping org.. the guy who was handling the money got arrested for grand larceny... looks like he was putting the money in his pocket. I have yet since gave money to any organization... it left a sour taste in my mouth

They're going to import the meat. It's sad but it's happening already.

While I am all for belonging to the types of outdoors organizations which have been listed above, I have a different view of dealing with organizations such as PETA (their national headquarters is 8 miles from my house).
Ignore them.
They feed almost entirely upon attention. Don't feed them.
Our ultimate protection for continuation of what we do is in the hands of the State Game Departments. They typically are not fond, nor supportive of PETA and other like organizations.
Spend your time and effort on making sure that there are laws in place which specifically protect you from the likes of PETA. More and more States are passing laws to do just that.

To clear up one comment made above about NAFA when you send fur up north to them a percentage is given to your state association. Here in Montana, we the MTA also has a fur sale that also adds money to the association funding.
To add to this train of thought, how many host a informational booth at a county fair or any other event where large numbers of people gather. Or given a talk to a 4 H group or a history class in your local school remember our future is with the young people.

I will say it again.

Join all the organizations you feel comfortable with and trust as they are a great asset.

But we need to do more than that. We need organization and fight back in other ways.

We need to quit letting them take our rights away bit by bit.

Maybe we should also tolerate political differences amongst ourselves and other trappers, hunters, and shooters. If they support trapping, shooting, and hunting, they ought to be considered allies in the fight against the antis, regardless of their positions on other issues.

Insisting on lockstep political correctness is a surefire way to be divisive. Plays right into the antis' hands.

James not to disrespect you or your beliefs but the political differences you mention are you referring to the left and the right?
