Welcome to all that visit us here at UWF. You will find that we are some of the most dedicated waterfowlers around.
We love ducks hunting and most anything remotely related to it.
During the off season, you will find us at numerous meetings working to open and maintain hunting areas that the public (such as yourself) may enjoy. Our members travel the entire state working with county, state, federal agencies and numeorus private organizations on conservation projects, water levels, habitat issues, public access policies, along with rule decisions and future regulations all in the benefit of the public as well as the members here.
We are not a hunting club as some would like think. We are hard working, fun loving, sports men and women. We donate to charitable causes, volunteer efforts for numerous wildlife species, provide educational opportunites when asked. Each year we host and co-host two youth hunts for the future hunters coming up in this world.
We offer our support to many hunting and several non hunting orgainzations. We have and do sit on most of the Boards concerning the Everglades restoration efforts. The SFWMD and the FFWCC have asked some of our members to sit or chair boards and committees for them.
You see, we are serious about what we do. None of us are paid for these things that we feel so important to us.
Our organization prints three Newsletters each year. Within these, you find regional reports ,as wellsome great information on hunting ducks here in Florida. We raffle two premium quality shotguns each year to raise money for our newsletter and projects as needed. We do not solicit funds from you at any other time.
We host a major meeting each fall when we all gather during the hunting season to set the schedule for the upcoming off season.
If by now, you haven't determined what we are and what we do, I would be suprised.
Let me mention some of the great benefits of being a member. You will receive the 3 Newsletters, you will have access to a top rated website with some of the most diverse waterfowl forums on line. A quality window sticker for your vehicle to proudly display.
You will have direct access to the Board of Directors, Regional Directors and all of the members and their points of contact and personal information.
Our website remains high amongst waterfowl websites.
Some examples of things you could be reading about inside.
This week many of our members hunted alligators, some for the first time, some seasoned hunters. Members helped members make some memorable hunts. The pictures are fantastic.
We have a running forum on fishing during the off season. The stories range from "well maybe" to "that should be on TV". Bass, Grouper, Bonefish, Tarpon and Snook are shown, page after page after page. Here again, helpful hints and instruction to those that ask.
We had a great thread during the Spring Turkey season. Birds galore.
The political season is upon us. Talks of concerns and desires are there in a thread by themselves for those who wish to contribute. We have a fine classified forum for your sales and buying needs.
So the next time you stop by to visit, remember behind the members only side there are tons of things going on. Membership has its priviledges and we love them. All this for $25.00 dollars a year.
Come on in.
