For too long, sportsmen have been unduly penalized from equitably sharing public land.

The Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus has introduced legislation aimed at protecting federal dollars raised by sportsmen for wildlife protection, and to ensure the use of America's public lands for hunting and fishing.

The Sportsmen's Bill of Rights (SB 751)

This bill ensures that hunting and fishing opportunities are considered in Federal land management decisions, and provides a clear procedure for Federal agencies to follow in their management of our Federal public lands.

America owes our sportsmen a debt of gratitude for their pioneering achievements on behalf of wildlife and habitat conservation.

Over 60 million Americans enthusiastically participate in fishing activities and 14 million citizens are licensed hunters. These recreational activities are a significant boost to many local and State economies, as well as the Nation. Sportsmen spent more than $67.9 billion last year on goods and services supporting an industry that employs more than a million people across the country.

For too long, sportsmen have been unduly penalized from equitably sharing public land. This bill mandates that Federal agencies analyze the effects of potential hunting and fishing limitations prior to enacting new land use policies.
