In the end, who or what really suffers when donations to DU are withheld due to one poorly executed decision by those in the organization ???
Here's my response:
1. If leadership can be as easily bought as DU was, then there is no leadership. Not being from Montana, understanding the sanctity of public land out here, recognzing the true culture of this incredible state, and the attempted takeover of my access that I have used in the past...it will probably be hard for you to understand just how outrageous and offensive Cox has been. With no hyperbole, there is very little more he could have done that would be more inflammatory to a Montanan. I could rant forever on this, so I'll stop there.
2. You should really reasearch where your dollars go with DU vs DW. The monies you raise in state for DW, majority stay in state.
3. The projects are different, and as a hunter, the projects of DW are more impactful to my ability to access and see birds.
4. Don Thomas needs to be stood with on this matter, regardless of who said/did what. There is a foudnational truth that if it is eroded will be near impossible to retrieve.
5. My donations did not stop, they shifted to DW.
You are free to continue to support DU. DU is dead to me. There is another standard bearer worthy of respect and support.
