[BuzzH]

I see you are now on the RMEF committee, just got an email today.

Good work...with myself and a few others on hunttalk, you may be regretting that appointment

Newberg Appointed to RMEF Committee



MISSOULA, Mont.—Outdoor television producer and host Randy Newberg has accepted a volunteer position on the conservation issues/government relations committee of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.



Newberg is well known for his all self-guided, all public-land hunting program “On Your Own Adventures,” which airs on Sportsman Channel.



The Bozeman, Mont., hunter also is a stanch follower of conservation issues, politics and policies nationwide.



The nine-member committee identifies issues affecting the RMEF mission and provides input to the staff and board of directors regarding organizational positions and directions. Members are annually appointed by the chairman of the board in consultation with the president.



“We’re excited about Randy working with RMEF on this committee. He brings a wealth of knowledge and great perspective on relevant issues facing conservation and hunting. He’s a great asset for our organization,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO.



Newberg said, “I’ve been an RMEF member and supporter for a long time. There have been times when I disagreed with organizational positions and I always made sure to let them know my opinion. Now, by serving on this committee, I’ll continue to advocate for conserving wild places and the abundant hunting opportunities they provide.”

Guys, I am from the east coast (on the ocean) but I love to hunt out west and support the RMEF. There are always going to be disagreements but I am glad people like Randy are willing to step up. Congrats and thanks Randy!

Well, let's see what happens. Sounds promising.

I'm impressed that he actually stated that he has had disagreements about some issues in the past. Too many times people get on boards and become lemmings. Thinking, acting, voting all the same. Most never really express their true opinions for fear of rocking the boat. I know that Randy isn't afraid to rock the boat if it needs rocking. Obviously he's only one person but maybe a different perspective at times on certain issues will help break the lemming cycle.

Hopefully we can now get the perspective from the RMEF on the issues and maybe wake up the top dogs at RMEF!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good job Randy.

Besides the best hunter I know, you're also the busiest. Thanks for for all you do to promote our favorite sport.

Can't imagine a better asset to the RMEF team.

I'd think this outfit would pitch in if Randy gets too carried away and buy him a life preserver/vest. That boat needs some rocking - Good luck Randy.

Good to see you on the committee, Big Fin. It's going to be interesting to keep up to date with everything that is going on with the RMEF and reading your threads on here concerning specific topics.
