lexior1992, When I became LM, the leather coat(I found one exactly like it, but without the NAHC embroidered logo at Burlington Coat Factory) was worth more than what I paid for the membership($350.00). Couple that with the nice wooden plaque, belt buckle and the gun cleaning mat, and the magazines actually are free!!!! |

I got the same thing RT. Actually, I somehow ended up with two jackets. Still have 'em somewhere even though they don't fit. Still have the buckle too, never even used. Not quite sure what happened to the plaque. Wonder if the jackets and buckle would bring anything in a HHH auction.... |

mwalton, Buckmasters isn't connected to the NAHC in any way. I'm also a LM of Buckmasters and receive both of the mags you named, and also "Gunhunter". Their LM package included a very nice camo jacket with my name embroidered on it, a rifle sling, knife, decal, membership certificate and a vehicle tag. They also have a forum on their site, but normally it doesn't see a lot of action 'til deer season. |

Dear Web Master,
Thank you for clearing that up but if our dues as a regular member are $1 a month and the longest anyone can live is at most is 120 what is so great about the life time member that it cost an extra $249?
Am I missing something in the math? At a buck a month your payback would be slightly less than 21 years, assuming the cost of membership does not increase during that time. By my calculations most folks in their teens, twenties, thirties, or forties would surely get the payback even without figuring in the "freebees". |

Every once in a while, out of the blue I'll get a BM mag delivered. Not sure why as I'm not a member. $500 for a LM seemed a bit steep, for me anyhow. I wouldn't worry about it mwalton. |

At 2 months in nahc I received the letter of thousands of you wanting me to be a life member. My question is heck I don't know thousands of you. So line up so I can count for myself. This is the third time I received letter like this , at 67 I guess life isn't that long LOL |

Steve, since I had been a 5 year member of BM, my LM was only $300.00. I paid $700.00 for NRA LM, $350.00 for NAHC LM, and $300.00 for BM, I can't afford a LM in DU or the NWTF, and when I did the LM with the NRA and the NAHC, I was working and making some good money. |

Buckmaster's is a joke and they were caught signing folks up after calling and being told no. How do I know this ? They did it to me that's how. They were investigated by the Alabama AG's office and told to stop with the unwanted callings and signing folk up after being told no. I do remember some years back when this was happening Jackie whatever his last name is came on here and posted a lengthy reply about how the dept doing it had been doing it without his knowledge and the personnel in that dept had all been replaced. He went on to say it would never happen again and for me it has never happened again. Their dues are way to high IMO ! The do have a great charity for kids and the disabled and sponsor and pay for those selected each year to come and stay and hunt for free. I remember that at one time the picked hunters were totally outfitted with everything needed to include a new rifle. But again that was a good many years ago. |

They still have several of those contests, each year. They also have a weekly drawing for prizes and an end of the year drawing for a new Yamaha Rhino 700. I get a call about once per quarter just checking to make sure that my magazines are arriving and to update me on my contest entries' and they usually add some extra entries at the same time. I even have two of their reps who call, just to check in and see how my season is going. We've become telephone buddies! |

I belonged to buckmasters for years. Notice that I said belonged. past tense. Then they started to call me constantly. Wanting me to renew my membership, and offering things to do it. I did it one time. For five years. It was maybe 6 months later. I started getting calls wanting me to extend for another 5 years. I told not at this time. I would renew when I was ready. A week later I got 2 more calls. The same answer was given to them. The same senario happened about every 3 to 4 weeks. My wife got transfered to Dallas. So,I told them about the situation. We were looking for a house. I would contact them when I was ready. We were living in an rv park looking for a house. The calls intensified. Once or twice a week. I told them not to call any more. It kept up. I finally told them to cancel my membership. And, I emailed Jackie Bushman about it. The calls then started offering thing to not cancel, And to renew. I let the membership expire. Still more calls. The calls finally did stop after 6 months went by. I emailed Jackie another time to say wouldn't ever belong to buckmaters again because of the harrassment. I didn't get anything backfor an opology sp? from anybody at buckmasters. To bad. I really did like the mags. |

At least Buckmasters, unlike the NAHC, acknowledges that you exist................ |

rthomas; Thats funny. Really.  But your right. They did do that. In an aggravating way. But, they did recognize I was around. I didn't want to have to go to that. Going to the A G , or the BBB. I was being pushed in that direction by them. It takes a bit for me to do something like that. Luckily, I didn't have to. It's possible that someone else did at the same period of time. |

That was probably 6 years or so ago. After about 6 months of me repeatedly telling them to NOT call or write me and them still constantly calling, I'd had enough. H3ll of it was, I even TOLD 'em I was going to gt those two involved if they didn't stop. They didn't, so I did, and then they did... ;-) Haven't heard a peep since. |

Back then, a lot of the calls that came from Buckmasters were actually from a magazine subscription service. The calls I get these days from my "phone buddies" are actually from company reps. One in particular that I talk to most often, actually lives in Charleston which is about 75 miles away. We have some common acquaintances in this area.
I get subscription services calling me all of the time about my Playboy subscription, funny thing is that there are at least three different services that call. I always cut them off by telling them they are liars since my subscription is directly through PEI. Also get calls claiming to represent the SC Highway Patrol, soliciting donations. Since I happen to know quite a few patrolmen, I know that they don't solicit donations over the telephone.......I also cut those callers off by calling them liars and SOBs!!!!!!
