Why We Must Stay Vigilant
Anti-sportsmen groups are actively attending these meetings to influence the future of outdoor traditions. That is why we need a strong showing of orange and camouflage, either in person or online, to ensure the Commission hears from the boots-on-the-ground sportsmen who actually fund the state’s wildlife management.
If we remain silent, others will shape our future. We cannot afford to let that happen. Our presence, whether physical or virtual, is our strongest defense.
Share this email with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen. Urge them to join the fight with you and the Sportsmen’s Alliance. The legacy of hunting, fishing, and trapping depends on our actions today.
The Sportsmen’s Alliance guarantees hunting, fishing, and trapping for the American sportsman now and forever. We’re there when sportsmen need us most. We are the only organization specifically created to protect the individual hunter, angler, and trapper – no matter the threat. We will never compromise when it comes to defending our way of life in the courts, in the legislatures, in the public square and at the ballot box. We make this promise to the American sportsman: we will never give up and never give in while proudly securing our future against those seeking to destroy our values, beliefs, and traditions.
