I was once a member but I am no longer amongst many others. This image does nothing to shed a better light of hunting to the non hunters. What can I do? should I re-join the club and help them open their eyes? I just think there is more to a outdoorsmen club then A horn scoring. I would like Perhaps some camping trips fishing trips, educating our young and new members on wildlife and survival. How would you suggest I go about this? I would love to help but I don’t know what to do and how to do it? Tell me what your small town has for an outdoorsman club and what do they do? What do the big clubs in the city do do they have any tricks? We as outdoorsman need to start becoming a community of outdoorsman and doing things together where we start
The only Outdoor Hunting/Fishing /Conservation organization that has any current traction with the powers that be is the Alberta F&G Assn. As you know, they are an Outdoorsperson's organization, representing all interested and concerned Albertans and they have been doing so effectively for decades. The basic structure and well earned credibility for a more effective organization is already in place. Yes, there is room for improvement in the organization as a whole and that improvement will come from the addition of new, younger members such as yourself. If an AF&G Assn group is not present in your area, start one. You appear to be a perfect candidate. All we need are a few thousand more members just like yourself. It can be done.
