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.

First joined up in the 90's then upgraded to Trophy Life Member in 2004. Haven't received any magazines in years. Product test was a joke. Got sent a spool of brightly colored string to test as a wind indicator. Lol. Did the whole coin collection thing. Member # [protected] James Havlik of WI. At least they could have sent every member a letter saying something about the discontinuation of the magazine and benefits and tried to have made thing right. But, just like most companies...take money away from the little people! And then screw them.

I too have not received a magazine in a while. I knew that they had cut it down to quarterly, but its been longer than that. I figured it was because I moved so was trying to find the website today to update everything. However I can't find anything on the site about the magazine. I did a quick search and found this thread. Good luck. I've been a member since 99, #250090.

I am a life member since 1980s and the same thing, I have not received a magazine or any thing no communications no nothing from them since a few years ago, maybe 5 to 7 years. We should bring a law suit because they reorganized and brought in a bunch of [censored]es that screwed us all. The clown that started it took our money after getting rich and ran.

Good day,
My name is Thomas Smolka from Michigan and I have been a lifetime member since 2000, I don't remember my membership #, but it's been about 5 years since I received anything from this club. I feel that something needs to be done about all the misleading information that each and everyone of us received from such a lame club. I too received the leather coat, plaque, and sticker, along with purchasing books from the club that I never saw. I'm truly pissed off about all this. What can be done? Please e-mail me with any information regarding a class action lawsuit at tk.smolka84@gmail.com

My name is Shane Worke, Life Member #246767. I would like to know what is going with these "clubs" too. I used to buy videos and books and I liked it. Then nothing. Thank you all, thought I was the only one feeling this way.

My Name is Scott Pfromm. I have been a Trophy Life Member ([protected]) since December 1998. I first paid $1000. to become a Life Member then an additional $500.00 to become a Trophy Life Member about five years later. I found this forum by trying to contact NAHC, to no avail. I have not received a magazine nor even one offer and even, oddly, not a single solicitation from them in about three years - until today. If indeed someone starts a class action lawsuit, please include me.
I am also an Endowment Life Member and Golden Eagle Member of the NRA. At least with NRA, they stand behind their words and commitments.

The North American Hunting Club has been sold several times over the years (starting in 1995) and is currently owned by Scout (http://www.scout.com/outdoors/hunting) - Scout is stopping all benefits including the magazine. If you are able to get through to Scout somehow, they will tell you as much. They are going to be internet only, no other benefits at all. Unfortunately there is probably nothing that can be done as it was part of the corporate purchase agreement and legally approved. So no promises will be honored from the previous club owners.

I am a life member. I bought the emblazoned leather jacket, some books, some videos and the member ring. The magazines stopped as did all correspondence from the club several months ago. It's left me wondering what has happened. Has the club gone belly up? Jimmy R. Thomason, 34531 St. Hwy. 75 Oneonta, Al. 35121

Jerry Ennis here, They got me as well. Life Member sense the 90's then paid to be a Trophy Life Member. I haven't gotten a magazine in years. Got the belt buckle and chose to get a pair of bino's instead of the jacket. I did get to be a product tester for awhile. Got some cheap small items. Probably the best thing I tested was a pair of damn socks. Spent $500 in membership dues and that's not counting the years prier that I was just a member paying every year. Yes I think a law suet is in order. If someone wants to run with it, I'm in.
