The money we donate can though fortunately.

That’s a very short sighted view but this is Oklahoma I guess

That's actually what I was going to say about your wildlife recognizing borders comment. How's the duck hunting and quail hunting been in Oklahoma the last few years? The last 20y? The last 30y? Take a poll if you wish, let me know what you find out.

DU and QU would be the last organizations I would donate anything to. Deerslayers recommendation or any organization where funds stay purely in OK would make better use of your donation.

Thats too bad and DU brought the ducks back !!! pretty sad opinion.

Ducks Unlimited.

I've been a member of DU for a few years and I always kick in a little extra on top of my yearly membership fee.

I've done what I can to support wildlife my whole life. I'm rather partial to elephants. You can't go wrong supporting elephants.

You obviously don't spend much time on OSA in the hunting forum lol.

Ducks Unlimited
Quail Unlimited
Wild Turkey Federation

Are the big dogs. Many others out there. Their effectiveness and handling of funds (management salaries) to be determined.

My guess, almost everyone here supported NRA, but now, not so much.

My question here is how do y’all have money to donate?!?

With what I spend yearly on feeding, planting, and trying to improve wildlife habitat on my place, I’m drained.

I used to be a member of DU and a few other national outdoor/wildlife organizations, but “charitable” organizations have become big business. I don’t personally know anything about Oklahoma Shooting Sports Assn or Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation, but if I had money to spare, that’s where I’d donate. In my opinion, it’s important to support “local” organizations where you can actually see where your money goes rather than supporting the lifestyle of the CEO of a national ”charity”.

HoLeChit - Would you be interested in investing in an organization that raises money to reinvest in grants for youth shooting organizations here in Oklahoma. The raised funds stay in Oklahoma. The organization is the Oklahoma Shooting Sports Association. www.ok-ssa.org. If you are interested them come to the Sponsor Appreciation Dinner at the Shriner's HQ on NW 36th, East of Portland Ave in OKC on Saturday night March 25th at 6:00 PM and see if this is something that might interest you. The meal is free. For further details check the website. Please let me know if you wish to attend as we need a head count for supper.

I will have to think about it, wanting to keep my money going more towards wildlife conservation at the moment.

DU and QU would be the last organizations I would donate anything to. Deerslayers recommendation or any organization where funds stay purely in OK would make better use of your donation.

Aside from not wanting non-oklahomans to receive your money, what's your reasoning?

Is that the same as donating to the ODWC via their webstore/buying raffles and stuff?
