RE: Time to raise score to qualify for P&Y?

I LMAO every time I read these posts that end up being an atlasman vs. the rest of the board argument....What AMAZES me is how easily you people get roped into the argument......Guess who's got all the power in that situation??? ;)

RE: Time to raise score to qualify for P&Y?

I would just like to know how atlas and the rest of the world can be so different....... Dude you are seriously reaching for an arguement that isn't there.... Just give up and hope when NY is under attack from the yuppie city folks over hunting that P&Y, QDMA, hunters allianceand others are there to protect your rights.

RE: Time to raise score to qualify for P&Y?

I'm at a loss. Oh well, whatever Atlas.

I don't think it's that cut and dry, I would be reallyshocked to find out that the money generated is put into "separate holdings". Like most organizations money is earned from all possible avenues be it donations or fees for services. It is thendeposited into a general fund. From the general fund money is allocated to whatever expenditures the company has......payroll, charities, conservation, printing, legal dept, insurance, workmans comp, retirement funds, etc...

It has to be that cut and dry...........either your money goes to conservation or it doesn't. There can be no maybe.......the reason I say this is that charitable contributions are tax deductable. If you claim your P+Y entry fee as chairty then you better be able to prove it.

So to say your $25.00 only went to printing your name in a book is not true. That money was deposited with ALL the other earnings the company took in. It was then paid out as needed.

I have seen no evidence that is true.

The P&Y club gives tooutdoor and conservation organizations,then supporting them be it by donations only or by putting your name in their book for $25.00 helps.

Only if that $25 goes towards conservation........otherwise you are just paying for someone else to make you a book.

There is no difference, all money generated by whatever means is helping a company that gives back to sportsmen and conservation in many ways.

I don't see how the $25 "helps" them if it only goes towards covering the cost of the book. If someone gave you $25 and you had to make something for them that cost $25 how does that help you?

For those who graduated high school.....say.......within the last ten years. Did you ever recieve a "Who's Who" book or whatever it was. Well I did.....along with about 20 other classmates. It went something like this..."Dear student, you have been nominated to have your name in Who's Who among American High School Students. You met so and so requirements blah, blah, blah. All you need to do is send $65 to so and so. This will cover the processing fee, and you will also recieve a copy of the book. You may order additional books for $40." Well to me this is kind of the same deal. If you shoot a "Book" buck why not just realize what you have done without having your name in a book. The mount or pictures or story should speak for theirself. I don't know how many names are in the book, but if it is over 800 pages it is not a very elite group. And no I haven't shot a book buck before anyone blasts me for that. I just don't see where having your name in a book makes your accomplishment any greater.

LMAO; BTW Atlas, my Trophy taker still kicks your rests' arse and yes, I can skin and bone a deer out in 30 minutes.

Maybe it doesn't, but it DOES support conservation.

P+Y does a lot of nice things........but they seem to be separate from the records program. Any claims that paying $25 to get your name in a book is somehow helping build museums and/or keep bowhunting alive and well seem to be facetious.

Just trying to give(or not give) credit where credit is(or isn't) due
