Sportsmen's Alliance VS Union Sportsman's Alliance

[MeepDog]

Is there a major difference between the Sportsmen's Alliance and the Union Sportsman's Alliance? Are they the same organization? I know on their website is says it only union members, but I'd like to hear people experience with them. With such similar names I wonder if theyre tied at the hip.

It doesn’t look like they are remotely the same. One is an organization based on union membership in the AFL-CIO that have a common interest of hunting and fishing while the sportsman’s alliance is an organization fighting in the courts to preserve what hunting heritage we have left in Washington, for example suing our game commission for not following their legal mandate.
