You can go ahead and keep thinking of any excuse in the world not to join or send them money, it doesn't really matter. But don't crack on an organization that was founded by hunters and is by in large hunters dedicated to protecting HABITAT. Did you get that? I said HABITAT. Especially winter range, which is getting divided and subdivided all over the west and this country. And not only in the west either. The RMEF has contributed millions to protecting land on the other side of the Mississippi to get huntable, viable populations of elk re- established in several states. Loss of habitat is the big problem facing our elk in the future. Wolves will come and go, elk will come and go. Once land is gone, put under streets, homes, roads, concrete and pavement, its gone forever. That is the mission of the RMEF. I don't want my time and money being wasted on politics. That is what the wolf issue is, it has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with biology, and if you can't see that, then you need your head examined. The RMEF spends my money on real tangible projects, not rhetoric and emotion, that is the way is better stay. And its one of the top organizations on spending your money, dollar for dollar, on what they say they want it for.
