I don't want to take away from the thread but if you do not want to join P&Y you may want to look into this if you want to join an organization to support hunting.

I belong to two of my state's orgs, MD Bowhunting Society and MD Sportmen's Assoc. and likely will join a National club at sometime in the near future.

I do encourage everyone to join an org., if nothing more than to give them "numbers" when lobbying government, that supports hunting in some fashion.
