in the northern panhandle of West Virginia with PA on one side and OH on the other. I would like to see PF do something close to where I live so I can enjoy hunting season. If I want to hunt birds I need to go to a bird farm so I can find birds to hunt. Why cant PF work with the game commission or dnr to educate them so we to can find wild birds? I think part of the promblem is that some chapters only want people who have a big check book. Being a 30 something guy with 2 kids and a wife the extra money runs alittle tite. By the way I am a board member of a local chapter. I see it time and time again we try to make a motion to do something to recrute new young members and it goes down in flames becuase it something different than what is done in the past. If we do get a new member they are welcomed and maid to feel welcome until people figure out the size of there check book. SO my piont is make sure you welcome people no matter how blue colar they are becuase they really are the future of this organization. It's great reading the comments from everyone. This topic has stirred some interest and your thoughts are all appreciated. As we say in the office, money puts habitat in the ground and helps get kids outdoors, but
