Congressman Steve Daines introduced legislation on Jan. 29 that guarantees funding for improved hunter access to pre-existing public lands.

With a vote of 73-25, the U.S. Senate has passed the historic Great American Outdoors Act, representing a strong commitment to increasing public access and advancing conservation.

Thanks to the largest land conservation effort in American history, the United Sates Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) made the decision in September not to add the greater sage grouse to the endangered species list.

In the midst of all the executive orders and fast-moving gun-control legislation in Congress, some might be missing out on the fact that President Biden’s nominee for Secretary of the Interior—Rep. Debra Haaland—could be a disaster for hunters.

Continuing the DOI’s efforts to enhance conservation stewardship, the order seeks to improve wildlife management and conservation, increase access to public lands for hunting, shooting and fishing and puts a greater emphasis on promoting outdoor activities among youth, veterans and minority communities.

Training can be boring—and often is. Whether you are a TO responsible for getting a group to a certain level of expertise, or you are an individual working toward sharpening your skills, if the training bores you, it isn’t going to be effective. Training for professional operators and enthusiasts now often includes integrating physical fitness training with shooting.
