Fred is joined once again by Chris Horton, CSF Senior Director of Fisheries Policy, for our lead story concerning CSF’s priority bill aimed at closing loopholes that allow foreign manufacturers to evade taxes, which has significant implications for conservation funding. Chris highlights the importance of maintaining a successful conservation funding model and the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders in the hunting and fishing communities. Fred then covers fur farming, trapping, fishing licenses for seniors, hunting access updates, proposed restrictions on baiting for fur bearers, and so much more!
