I have been considering joining the RMEF for a while now and last week finally made up my mind. I was in Sportsmans Warehouse with my 14 year old son doing some last minute Christmas shopping and met Kevin the volunteer lead for the Utah chapter of RMEF. Being the day after the terrible wildlife board meeting where the UDWR decided to still use SFW proposals, I was a little hot. I commiserated for a minute with him and decided it was definitely time to put my money where my mouth was.
After filling out my enrollment paperwork etc., he proceeded to give me my knife set that came with the enrollment. But prior to this, he ran out to his truck to "get something" for me. Upon returning to the store he said with a smile to my son, "here is your very own knife from the RMEF. Be careful it is really sharp." My son lit up and told him of how he killed his first game animal this past fall, a cow elk. Kevin took time to talk with my boy and he loved it. I was really pleased at how much my son responded to him. My son has a tendency to be quiet and he didn't stop talking the whole trip back home.
Thank you to Kevin and I look forward to participating with a group who stands for something. I may not have done this if I hadn't just listened to Randy's podcast with the founders of the RMEF. Thank you!
