A fledgling outdoorsmen’s group has compiled a broad-based sportsmen’s agenda for 2011 to push for federal policies that will improve opportunities for fishing and hunting.
The Denver-based Bull Moose Sportsmen’s Alliance announced its agenda as members visited Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. They met with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Sens. James Risch of Idaho and Jon Tester of Montana, and others.
Alliance founders say their intent is to give various conservation-minded sportsmen’s groups around the country a united voice on issues critical to the future of hunting and fishing. Their agenda centers generally on promoting science-based habitat conservation, access to public land and sportsmen’s Second Amendment rights.
The alliance is just under 2 years old and has about 2,700 members in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Minnesota, Montana and Colorado. The Associated Press
