That the company I purchase supplements through (trying this whole working out thing) spends money on conservation. If you buy supplements it might be worth checking them out. MTN OPS

Their rep supplied me with many of their products when I was preparing for a mountain lion hunt in Utah that I wrote about. They are a good company worth giving business to support.

The nutritional supplement market is one of the fastest growing industries in the country. I have a brother that is administratively involved with the production, packaging and distribution for many of the big name brands out there.While brick and mortar stores took a deep hit when everything closed down because of Covid-19, online sales have continued to explode. His company is still hiring and giving voluntary overtime to anyone who wants it and they still cannot meet their demand. Just came back from an Esox hunting trip in the U.P. and everywhere you looked, you saw someone with a "protein" bar in their hand, or drinking a "enhanced" drink of some kind. Lately, even the hunting shows on T.V. show the hunter having to get "enhanced" from a supplement before hitting the blind. Everywhere you look, you see them for sale. Many, like the above, are using donations to causes, for a marketing device as they fight for a share. Beast cancer, Special Olympics, Homeless shelters, and yes, Conservation. Don't fool yourself, they aren't taking that 2% outta their pocket. But if you like their products and it makes you feel good knowing that you are yourself donating to a cause that interests you and you promote.....go for it.

They also claim that for every purchase they buy a meal (through a partner program) for hungry kids. So...idk. I don’t really use this for hunting but as a weight loss supplement so I can get in shape for hunting season. I figure there are probably less expensive ways but, it’s marketing I want to believe in.

Again, if it's a way for you to help causes you feel are relevant, and you are satisfied with the product and it's cost, then it's a good thing.

They openly support hunting when so many companies have run away from it. That is good enough for me in this day and age.
