Has anyone started a class action suit to address this companies inexplicable refusal to honor their legal commitments regarding membership benefits? I am collecting names, membership numbers, and grievances for the purpose of initiating same and do not wish to duplicate efforts. I too have been the victim of this clubs illegal actions. Life member, paid in full at joining, and received the plaque, jacket, patch, and magazine subscription, all back in the mid 90's. I stopped receiving the magazine in 2000 and have had only brief unproductive responses from the company since then. After a nine year overseas deployment, i'm back and I have a long memory.

Yeah. I became a lifetime member in 2007 or 2008. I realized a couple weeks ago that I hadn't received any correspondence or even heard from them in a while. Sucks cause they got me to give them money for nothing. Got the plaque somewhere here.

Started my life membership back in 2004 after being a regular member for several years. Paid good money for the title and after a few years they dropped from the face of the earth, take your $$and run!

Think may still have leather jacket. I do still have the tuff-pak that I purchased and sure have put it through the mill.

I was a life member and then they offered some other membership I joined. I only became interested because I came across a book. I had a house fire about 10 or 12 years ago and as I couldn't save them or anything from them I called and it became Scout? They said I was not a member as I gave them my member number from a magazine they said they do not do magazines amd they test gear. So I was like wth I've paid them hundreds for books and collectable and that's all I get. Hell yea I want my name in.

Also a Life Member.. Paid in full in 2011, received a few welcome items (Certificate plaque, vest, gun cleaning pad, a cheap knife set, and a cheap flashlight) magazines for a 2-3 years then they stopped coming. 2014 I believe was the big transition period where they started to transfer magazines to online, oke no big deal, but then you had to make an account through the new NAHC/scout website.. Turning into a mess. As a member I like to be active and participate in product reviews to review some cool items and help my fellow hunters to not fall into buying cheap gear which would break after one seasons use. You had to build points in order to try out more expensive gear by giving reviews, and I gave three reviews before the NAHC fell off the map. At the end of the day $333.00 down and disappointed in the hunting organization for taking advantage of hard working American hunters money and time. Wish there was accountability in the world today.

God speed,

I took a Life membership with them in 05/95 and having gotten anything from them in years. I tried back in 2007 to update my address and start getting my benefits and magazines again and basically was told that the magazine was online only and that the club was pretty much dissolved. Yeah, just like everyone else, I paid for something and didn't get what I was promised.

Stumbled across this by accident, but I feel scammed just like the rest. Joined back in 90's as life member with little interaction or response since early 2000. They were always quick to send books and videos I had no interest in and want payment promptly but do not respond to attempts to contact.

Just like many other here. Joined in the 90s. Got my jacket and wood plague and patches
Had a few items sent to review with a couple magazines and then it all stopped with no explanation. I agree it was a waste of money and would love to be paid back for this rip off of a club!

I have not heard from them in several years I'm in several years a few years ago I get distracted by a stroke now my only Relief is reading about it. I was recently in my cabin and realized After looking at the certificate on the wall. I have not heard anything, So I looked online. They were sold twice around 2000 they stopped printing their magazine... Fahunters the magazine is great for when you're in your stand you're in your stand and killing time or whatever you're doing but reading on A-line is kinda hard or unless you're gonna take a tab with you in the woods. But needless to say they didn't save a few bucks take more money from us. But the company is now called scouch ouch again haven't heard from them and they're not too Doing what they promised us. I think A lawsuit is justified, A long with damages How long with damages. Where do we sign up or is it suddenly too late

Add me to the list. I don't remember when I paid for the lifetime membership but I have the plaque, belt buckle, gun case, and vest to prove. I had seen my vest hanging in the closet and thought I would look them up, since I have not seen anything from them in a while. brandon_harris1379@yahoo.com

Joined Life Membership in the mid 2000s. They kept sending me books and I with the bill and for some reason I thought that I had to pay for them. Young and stupid. I haven't received anything from them in years. Sign me up for the lawsuit. aaron73hwt@gmail.com
