Hunting Season may be over but Legislative season is just starting!

The North American conservation model is the bedrock of all hunting and fishing tradtions in the United States. A critical part of this concept is that we, the people, own the land and the resources, which is managed through scientific management through the state wildlife agencies and legislation supported by scientific data from these agencies.  Now, this is very much the best-case scenario: a state legislator sitting in the State Communittee that overseas fishing and game notices that the Turkey population has been decreasing. A member then uses that scientific data from the state agency, to  propose a bill that would limit the season so they can in the long term help try to recover the population.  It’s pretty cut and dry, but unfortunately, that’s not always what happens.
