Hey folks let's not kid ourselves its all about the MONEY. I use to work in this industry for another group just as bad asRMEF. They will give you a non-stand politcally correct statement not to indicate they are on one side of the fence or the other.
Look at the mission statemnet, I promise you If more money could be made by have anti-rmef banquets andsoliciting thatgroup they would jump fast.
Money Talks!

I love the special one of a kind tags they get from gov't DNRS Which they sell to the highest bidder. Did I mention it's about the money. too bad a coupleof hundred thousand of us couldnt throw a buck in a state raffle and have a shot at these once in anybodies lifetime hunts.

Here in wisco the hunter gets to pay for the elk programand management andRMEF gets the credit and one of the 1stTHREE tags in the statewhich they will sell to the highest bidder, the native american pop getsone which they will most likely sell to the highest bidder and the state will get the other in which 750,000 hunters will most likely be spending money on a chance in a drawing to try to win. keep the elk out west if this is what RMEF is doing for US.
I have a better chance of shooting a wolf in wisconsin than a elk! and I live in the sw portion.
