This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 came across a file marked North American Hunting Club about two years ago while changing out file cabinets. I had completely forgotten about the lifetime membership that I purchased in the early 2000's. I received a gun cleaning pad, some stickers, a plaque and possibly a vest . I did get magazines for a while but not in a long time. When I found the file I contacted huntingclub.com and they sent me a magazine (Fall 2014) that was oversized and awkward. It was 160 pages which was over 62 full page advertisements, not to mention the numerous half and quarter page ads. They also started sending emails that were nothing but advertisements. Then again nothing. I am an older and wiser person now but can't believe I would have paid for a lifetime membership that expired before I did. Nothing about this membership is as described. I sent another email to huntingclub.com today asking for a clear and concise explanation of benefits and am waiting for a response. I will not be happy with the answer though because it will be nothing more than another brush off. My number is [protected] and my email address is ronaldjf14@gmail.com. I would be interested in becoming involved in a class action suite because like any other red blooded american I cannot stand being ripped off and cannot sit idle while others are ripped off. At some point, the people that take advantage of others should be held accountable. Count me in on the law suite.

Sounds like a bunch of the same story. I joined as a "trophy" lifetime member in 2013 purely hoping to take advantage of the benefits like product testing and the map program. I did receive a small, soft rifle case, the gun cleaning pad and a blaze orange vest along with the magazine for while. Too bad as soon as i joined and started exploring the website they made the move to scout.com and all the benefits I signed up for disappeared. Email after email and error messages everywhere continued to promise everything will be worked out and it never happened. Count me in
