Takeaways

Firearm Pre-Emption Laws: Firearm preemption laws protect the right of sportsmen to legally own firearms in their state without having to worry about overcomplicated regulations created by local, lower-level government as a barrier to entry to hunting. South Dakota legislators recently passed Senate Bill 339, strengthening their firearm preemption laws. 

Non-Resident Hunters In The Great American West: From higher hunting and fishing fees to a bigger financial impact through greater reliance on local businesses from hotels to food and more, nonresident hunters make a valuable contribution to the states in which they hunt. 

Hunting Dog Policy: Fred covers policy initiatives in the Southeast that sporting dog owners should be aware of, including unnecessary proposed tethering requirements in Tennessee, exemptions for sporting dogs in mandatory spay-neuter bills, and more.
