I agree that not a lot of guys belong to clubs.... but when the largest of those clubs with 60,000 members makes a statement like they did, they are representing a lot more than just thier own paying membership. They are speaking for alot of mainstream hunters who do not pay dues but feel the same way.

Ray Martin and Melody have been strong supporters of change, of the PGC and when they and thier members make that strong of a statement it does get the attention.

At one time in pa the Federation had a lot of clout, that is not as true anymore, but they still are a representation of mainstream sportsman in pa. And I am not about to put them down for speaking out for what sportsmen want in pa, lord knows hunters are
not getting much help these days.

I have gone to enough meetings to know that this change of attitude from the organized groups is HUGE to the testimony that will be given to the commissioners. They were
some of the last groups to try and give Alt all the room he wanted. To give him a chance.

And when PFSC says its "an embarassment"...... then the emporer has no clothes!
