Meetings are still at the forefront for the UHF officers, Jim and Casey are attending the Quota and deer Management meetings, We all try an attend the FWC meetings around the state, Casey is working on the SWIFTMUD to develop some type of relationship there, Myself, I attend the SJRWMD both South and Central meetings, all these meetings cost money to attend, the fuel alone is out of our Own pockets!

Your membership is very important, it keeps us going, it shows the general public there are people out there who CARE about their heritage, we're all feeling the crunch today, the UHF is no different we feel it to, but we can't stop, we're making very good headway, every year we gain we ensure our Hunting will be that much better the next year, it ensures there is someone out there watching out for you, watching out for your children, your way of Life, we need to GROW, we need to be heard, Deer hunters need to be seen as conservationist and good stuarts of our land and the Animals!

Help us out, help keep Deer Hunting alive in Florida, we can't do it alone, there's so much happening today in this arena, Remember, United Hunters can't be beat we can only grow!
