TSV Roundup Week of July 22nd, 2024

This week's Sportsmen's Voice Roundup covers various topics, including the American Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act, the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC) Executive Council meeting, opposition to wilderness designations in Big Cypress, a computer glitch impacting special hunt permits in Washington State, the importance of recreational shooting to conservation funding, and how to get involved in the legislative process.
 
Takeaways

The American Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act (ACE) is a priority for the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) and reauthorizes important conservation programs and protections for recreational anglers.

The NASC Executive Council is a bipartisan group of state sportsmen legislators who provide advice to CSF on the administration of the NASC program.

The Florida Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus opposes wilderness designations in Big Cypress, as it could limit access for sportsmen and women and hinder natural resource management.

A computer glitch in Washington State resulted in the misallocation of special hunt permits, causing challenges for the Department of Fish and Wildlife in maintaining fairness and herd conservation.

Recreational shooting is a significant contributor to conservation funding and provides opportunities for newcomers to become comfortable with firearms and join outdoor traditions.

Getting involved in the legislative process is crucial for protecting hunting and fishing rights, and understanding the process and timing can be key to making an impact.
