[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3984712, member: 35036"] Man, I'm gonna ruffle some feathers around here, but I really dislike the NRA, they've gone from a decent organization concerned about the 2nd amendment and protecting our freedoms, to a political lobby that sends out excessive junk mail and scare tactics in an effort to get more money for more ineffective lobbying. I feel the NRA has done more bad than good for American gunowners in the past few years. I don't have the land to maintain yet, so I figure I should work on supporting an organization that maintains land I hunt on. I would donate $1000 for a lifetime membership to the Retrieverman Conservation Society, and put in some effort helping maintain and collect excess wildlife from club properties. Honestly, I just scrape pennies and stuff. When I was in the oil business making big bucks I donated a lot of money to ODWC mostly. Now that money has been muuuuuuch tighter I haven't been donating very much the past few years. But even now what I typically end up doing is cashing in my change bucket once a year, and donating that. I'll take X amount of dollars with me out hunting, and try to just spend that when away. Pays for my campsite if I'm not staying on public land, groceries, ice, beer, boat gas, etc. Anything that's left over after each trip gets thrown in my change bucket. I'll also try and put aside some cash every month to drop into that bucket. As a lifetime hunting/fishing combo owner it kinda feels like I gamed the system, not having to pay each year. I also pulled out the disabled vet paperwork and only paid $25 for it at a whole 28 years old. So I feel a little obligated to throw the ODWC extra cash each year, they provide me with 100% of my hunting opportunities anyways. [/QUOTE]
