Let me be the first to say this is amazing. SFW and the Mule Deer foundation just got pushed out of the way by a much bigger, better, and respectable conservation machine. Utah has been under the thumb of SFW for too long and its time that this contract changes to an organization as respectable as the RMEF. Currently SFW/MDF only return 30% of the $5 fees, 100% of those fees would be amazing for wildlife in Utah, and with the membership and much bigger organization that RMEF is, it would be much better for the state of Utah, and the states wildlife. I don't care if SFW/MDF offer the same thing, I want the RMEF to get this.
Here's the blocking card, on the Utah wildlife board their are several former SFW members sitting at the yea, and nea table, that will have to approve this change. So I would say that even anyone who doesn't live in the state, contact the members of the Utah wildlife board and support the change to the RMEF, it would give so much better influence than the two groups sitting at the helm now. They haven't posted the new wildlife board members but I'll post a link to their emails once they've updated it. I didn't plan on attending the expo this year if SFW was still running the operation, if RMEF is running it and they are agreeing to return 100% of the proceeds to wildlife in the state, looks like I'll be spending a lot more money.
I do have a question though, will this be for the 2016 expo? or would they be taking over for the 2017 expo?
