In a letter to Senator Jeff Bingaman, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and Senator Lisa Murkowski, that committee's ranking member, 40 national sportsmen's organizations--including the Pope and Young Club--urged Congress to pass legislation to protect hunting and fishing on public lands.

 

The Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act will protect recreational hunting, fishing and shooting on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.
