After reading Jim Bowman's thread on the "price of hunting", I thought I'd recognize a couple top-notch orgs I've recently visited, in Idaho and Wisconsin. Folks, if you don't belong to you respective state orgs, then you need to get involved and inform yourselves with what is going on in your "neigborhoods" that threaten the integrity and quality of what we get to do as bowhunters. These groups are on the front lines of the war that constantly rages. Most would never realize the threats that are out there to the very existance of the seasons that were so hard-fought for decades ago by our forefathers....and getting "educated" to those threats is the first step to finding solutions, and being able to offer up your help. A lot of great guys and gals, volunteer their time without compensation, to ensure that all of us can enjoy the quality experiences we've come to "expect" when we take to the woods each year. This quality doesn't come free. It is the result of hard work, good debate and ideas, great planning and action....and it takes members to get it all done.
I've been able to visit quite a few of your states the past many years, and all are working as hard as they can to promote and preserve trad bowhunting, and hunting in general, for your benefits to the best of their abilities. Wisconsin, and Idaho are two of the best. So get involved you guys, they need your help!
