coueshunter Report post Posted October 19, 2010 Everyone, there is a meeting tonight at Bass Pro. 5:30 Arizona Deer Association. This non-profit organization basically exists to watch over all arizona deer. They have fundraisers to raise extra money for the AZGFD, they dole out money for water projects etc.... The ADA really really really needs volunteers to help out. The annual dues people send in dont do much, but the volunteers are what really helps Arizona. I could go on about the help with political issues like the USO fiasco years ago. etc.......Please Please show up tonight and bring a friend....................Allen Taylor..................

Chef Report post Posted October 21, 2010 Guys and Gals... As Allen stated, the Arizona Deer Association desperately needs some volunteers. Show up to a meeting, a project, anything to give back. Become a member of an organization that represents us as hunters. They really do fight the fight and will stand up for hunters' interest in front of the commission and make our voices heard. I can't believe that so many hunters are not members. These are a fine group of individuals, from all walks of life, with a passion for Az wildlife as a whole. Go to a meeting and see for yourself. They are transparent and will answer all your questions. Unlike many people perceive, it's not a "good ol boys" network. These are people, like you and me, that love the outdoors and want the best for our wildlife, especially deer. There is a whole lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that I can barely scratch the surface when it comes to describing all they do for us. Everyone on the board THANKED ME for just showing up. Guys, these volunteers are the same people that, for years, have been attending, organizing, recruiting, sweating away for all of us. They need to see that all they do is not in vain. We need to rally and support them. I spoke up at the meeting and THANKED THEM for what they have done to hold the organization together. Lets get some fresh faces out there. Some new ideas, new contacts, network, you name it. The ADA board is used to just seeing a few VERY familiar faces at the meetings. You know how that goes, you get burnt out in a sense. There is a wealth of knowledge and goodwill on this board alone. See if you can't join the ADA and add a family member, a friend, while you are at it. http://www.azdeer.org/ Look around the site. See who is on the board, you'll see a lot of familiar faces, thank them for all they do, and back them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
