Overview

Mission

The most important part of our ability to enjoy hunting is the promotion, preservation and the continuing relationship with our landowners and the forest preserve

What it reported doing in 2025

Sponsors drag hunt sporting events; sponsors equestrian competitions

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
