Whether or not you think it's a scam, or you think conservation groups are worth helping, you have a choice. I've made the choice to never donate to them ever again.
A significant portion of my licenses every year go to the state DNR fund so every time I participate, they receive revenue.

Break it down then. Show us where the scam is.

Yep, if you're going to say something, back it up. It's not very insightful when people say it's a scam or they won't donate again. I've seen complaints about the quality of public lands (PF posted lands or not) but imagine not having those lands to hunt in the first place. And, before people complain, volunteer on a habitat day. If we care about hunting, let's care for the land and do what we can.
I don't get the hate. Sure, their might be specific properties that people have access issues with or what not.I haven't seen that but people should reach out and confirm what the deal is. PF's motto is literally "the habitat organization". They fight for habitat, our interests, and public lands. Win, win, win.

Some pheasant forever projects get turned into private hunting ranches that charge money.

I am not familiar with pheasants forever, but I have been a member of ducks unlimited since I was 12.

PF does hire biologists to work with NRCS to write CRP plans, all on private lands.
Also provide lobbying efforts in Washington DC to influence congress to implement habitat friendly farm bills which benefit all wildlife and consumptive/nonconsumptive users.
You might want to give the organization some quarter. Better to have with us than against us, as many organizations are not in favor of hunting.

Please share some examples.
DU ... well, well, well ... I was a Greenwing and a member for over 40 years ... that ended several years ago ...
DU has a record of having acquired properties that are optimized for habitat and then sold off. I do not see that PF is doing this also.
DU is the organization that offers free hunts to high end donors and DU state leaders at exclusive clubs.
DU is the organization that moved away from nesting habitat as their primary if not sole priority and moved to supporting moist soil management in the mid-states ... these properties are manipulated to hold ducks and are most often private and hunted !
