RE: NRA does do for hunters....
I respect your view and can understand your frustration with the requests for donations. But that is a necessary part of defending and supporting our causes. Noone is going to automatically just send in extra dollars without some sort of solicitation. It is very simple to call and ask them to place your name and membership # on the Do Not Solicit list. I can also understand that the DU organization is your choice of an organization to support, but no way do they spend as much or lobby as much in congress for hunters than does the NRA.
DU is primarily a wetlands and waterfowl organization. Some of what they support and do will benefit other game species , but no comparison can be made in dollars spent on various aspects of hunting and conservation and education.
