Do you all care?
Mrs Sikora entered me in a multiple raffle thing with RMEF which when you enter you get a roll up hunting knives which was very nice of her.
The problem I have is that RMEF has followed DU lead in buying their items from China! I’m not happy about this. I sent an email to the powers that be to voice my concerns and to tell them that I haven’t ran into too many Chinese elk hunters in the US and that I will not be spending my hard earned money on anything made in China. The guy was well we can make more money by doing this I said buy American because when we are making the goods we can afford to enter into more draws go on more hunts etc etc. I have my in-laws, a couple of their friends and a couple my friends go to these Banquets that never have hunted and have no interest in hunting to spend money at these events in the raffles etc to try and win something for me my mother is the go to person for that unless it’s has to do with anything handguns. We all pay the $35 dinner price which is a bargain and everyone buys the $200 raffle ticket packs for $100 dollars so just in that is $1,000 not counting buying the special raffles tickets for guns, gear, hunts, etc that range from $25 to $100 a chance so it adds up. Now will we quit going? No but if any item is made in China, Vietnam etc we will not be putting our tickets in that bucket.
So do you care are don’t care?
thanks
