Question for anyone from Penn Fed

Rumor has it, that Penn Fed. of sportsmen clubs has or is considering joining "the camo coalition" that is being put together by "Penn Future" and "the wildlife federation".

I find that interesting as both are enviro extreme groups that are hardly hunters friends, and clearly now want to have "hunters" join them to strengthen their own voice and political gains. Penn Fed has already been entrenched with the "wildlife federation" a short while back, and supposedly cut ties due to their extremism, which while upper honchos didnt mind at pennfed, did not help Penn Fed one bit with their membership and was danaging to them politically. I find it hard to believe that they would turn around and rejoin them, now just because theyve cloaked themselves with a new hunter friendly sounding nickname..

I personally cannot believe any "sportsmen group" who knows who these people are actually would get involved with them at all. Hoping this is just a rumor, and no truth to it at all.

Anyone know the details here?

I agree dpms. There is nothing wrong with working productively but separately on issues when necessary. And lets not forget, we arent talking about sportsmen groups working together here. We are talking about sportsmen groups & environmentalists being taken in under one umbrella by nonhunting groups to further their own agendas. Pennfuture is not a "hunting" group, nor is the "wildlife federation". But those are the two coordinators and creators of the "camo coalition".

As for the Penn Fed, rumor has it that Penn Fed didnt jump on board immediately because the "camo coalition" hadnt yet "organized itself", and there were too many "loose ends". That part of the rumor also is in agreement with same statement made over at the woodpile. But supposedly that has since been addressed by Pennfuture & Wildlife Fed? While i dont know the validity of the camo coalition support from pennfed, it seems to be a moot point since they support the very organization that is founding the group the wildlife federation! If not, then what on earth is THIS doing on Penn Feds website; "on target", Nov. Dec. 2010 issue???? I think i may have posed that question before....maybe even had a reply from Doc on it. Cant recall specifics though.

Also just noticed they have a representative by the name of "Pa camocoalition" on hpa that is trying to drum up membership on the boards. Apparently with the encouragement and support of the board judging by statement made by admin. "bluetick" not long ago. Although im not surprised given the reputation for their enviromentalist ideals of those who run the boards. Bad ju-ju.
