Deer Hunting Affiliations and Associations

There are many good Associations & Affiliations that support whitetail deer hunting and you, the hunter that hunts them. You should join a few of these affiliations and associations. Help them, help you.

2nd Amendment

In my opinion, the first association that hunter’s should all belong to is “The National Rifle Association”, or N.R.A.®; No matter what your view of so called gun control is (for me it is hitting the spot on the target I’m aiming for). In these trying political times, 2010, the second amendment, and “The Constitution of the United States” is under attack where certain politicians and progressive groups would like nothing better than to re-write certain portions of it to match their agendas and political beliefs. Do not fool yourself that they only want to make and keep us safe from each other. If that was the reality of it we wouldn’t be driving cars and trucks. These groups fear the armed citizen. We need to support organizations that defend our right to bear arms.  We need to support those who diligently work to support our God given right to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our personal property.  The National Rifle  Association works to protect our second amendment right to own the firearms we, as hunter’s, use for hunting deer. This great organization also helps protect hunter’s from the so called “Anti-hunting” crowd that want you live as they think you should. The N.R.A.®, through it’s strength in membership numbers and political action committees, works within our nations courts systems to ensure laws are passed to protect the Second Amendment for every law abiding citizen in our great country.  They work with and  apply pressure to the congress of the United States of America to ensure our constitutional rights are protected. If your not a member now; please join. They will send you one of several monthly magazines full of information about firearm’s, deer hunting products, and issues regarding your constitutional rights.  There are over 65 million firearm owners in our country, yet only a few million are members of this great association, The NRA, that protects our rights to own these firearms; that’s pathetic.  Join the NRA today!

Support Deer Hunting

Some other affiliations to consider joining for hunting deer would be; “Whitetails Unlimited, inc.®”. They are dedicated to conservation and the betterment of the white-tailed deer and it’s environment. In Minnesota we have “The Minnesota Deer Hunter’s Association”®. If you are into archery hunting, you may want to also join a shooting league or a archery club. This will help keep your archery shooting technique in good form. The “Boone and Crockett Club” is a good hunting club to join. They advocate the rules of fair chase which are so important to the future of deer hunting in the public’s eyes. The “North American Hunting Club” is another good one. They have great resources and other hunting information.

Local Associations

Here in Minnesota we have “The Minnesota Deer Hunter’s Association”, “The Minnesota Bow Hunter’s Association“, “The Rod & Gun Club“, and others including a lot of great information from the D.N.R. (Department of Natural Resources).

Consider Joining

We need to belong to affiliations and associations that can and will group together to protect our deer hunting rights. All have much more to offer too. Please consider researching and joining some if you are not a member of at least one already. Thank you and good luck in your trophy whitetail deer hunting experiences.
