Default National Wildlife Federation?

Hey, not sure where to post this, but here goes. My wife wants to join the National Wildlife Federation. They talk a good talk about conservation and protecting wildlife, but something tells me they may be closet anti's or support anti hunting groups. I did a little searching, but can't really tell for sure one way or the other. Does anybody have any information about this organization and their stance on hunting? I asked my wife to hold off until I could check them out...

Thanks-
Paul

Check out this link http://www.nwf.org/news/and then read the "Fact Sheets" section, from what I can tell they are not against hunting or fishing, thier true concerns seem to be with wildlife and the enviroment. If some one knows of them being anti-hunting please speak up, I would like to know also, but from what I have seen they are pro outdoorsmen.

Thanks Tazman, I checked out that link and from what I've seen there it looks like they work in conjunction with sportsmans groups to achieve common goals concerning conservation of habitat and preservation of wildlife.If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, please speak up!

About halfway down the page the below link takes you to they make special note of the NWF, stating that they support all form of hunting and trapping. Their review makes NWF sound excellent to me!

Here's another link that lists many organizations and which way they "lean." Need to scroll down a ways, but looks like they are a Pro-Hunting organization.
