Pheasants Forever. How long does it take?!?!

[The Yeti]

I joined Pheasants Forever about a month and a half ago. How long does it take to get the materials?

[fishtrap3]

I am also still waiting. Last I heard i had to wait 4 to 6 weeks that was about 4 weeks ago.

I joined in August and e-mailed them in Nov. they said 4-6 weeks from then still nothing. I have received some info from the local chapters about upcoming banquets but thats it.

I got my gift card right away, well within a few weeks, but I haven't gotten anything since.

It also depends on whether you signed up through a chapter or with the corporate office. Through a chapter takes an additional step and could take longer. Also, this time of year is pretty busy for them (state conventions and Pheasant Fest). Have patience, it is a great organization and the more you get involved the more you will get out of it.

I signed up when the gift card offer came out and got my membership card/decal stuff late last week, the gift card came within 2 weeks. So I would guess you guys should see it soon.

FINALLY!!! I got my Pheasants Forever materials in the mail today. I also got a chapter invite to a banquet the other day.

This time of year is nuts for them down there. Be patient. They have alot of things they are getting ready for with the State Conv. last week and Pheasant Fest. coming up and all other Chap. banquets. I was just down there(National) a couple of weeks ago to get stuff for our Chapt. banquet and they said it was crazy. I know they were loading semi's up to take stuff to Nebraska to get ready for Pheasant Fest.

Just got hat and sticker yesterday. Nothing about the banquets or chapters.

Just got my hat & sticker a week ago. Sent my stuff in months ago. The hat looks pretty nice.

If anyone here is interested in going to the Metro Area chapter banquet with Pheasants Forever let me know, I am on the committee here for the metro chapter and the banquet will be on Thursday, March 31st. We will have a number of guns raffled off and many other items up for auction or silent auction. All the money earned goes to projects that are done in counties outside of the metro area. It would be great to have a bunch of fellow FM'ers there at the banquet.

If anyone is in the northern metro, the Anoka County Pheasants Forever banquet is March 12 in Andover. There will be a four wheeler, snowmobile trailer, 20some guns, trips and more. If interested, details are in Outdoor News or on the Anoka PF HSOforum (do a search).

I joined Pheasants Forever last spring at my local banquet here in Buffalo.Spent about $250 that night.

Still have never received anything.

I don't go to banquets to win things and don't join outdoor organizations for perks.I join them because they are good for our sport.

However, I am quite bitter that I did not receive anything in the mail stating that I am a member and thanks for the support.

Will not go this year.

If you received absolutely nothing from the organization stating that you are a member, maybe your name and address did not get sent in by the local chapter. Its worth checking into.

Just my 2 cents

FMF,

I am a longtime committee member for a chapter of PF (not yours). I can tell you that banquet day is a hectic day with a million things going on and it is all done by volunteers. Not one person is paid one dime. inevitably, we lose one or two registrations for some stupid reason. Every year, we try and improve it. I guess what I am asking, is give them a break and call them up and tell them your situation. More than likely, they will correct it for you. I know those guys a little and they are good guys tryin to do the right thing. Believe me, it really is a lot of work. Right now, for our chapter, we meet every thurs nite from 7 til 11, then spend parts of another night or two working on the banquet. Seriously, give them a call and they will take care of you. Oh, you didnt by chance go to the banquet on a comp ticket did you? If so, some times they do not include memberships. I know I can speak for them in that they really appreciate your support in the past and would love to have your support in the future. It goes towards a good cause. Maybe you even want to think about becoming active in the chapter and put your efforts into making sure that what happened to you never happens to anyone else??

Best of luck. If you are interested in coming to the Anoka banquet, let me know. I will gauruntee you, we will not lose your membership.
