TSV Roundup Week of October 7th, 2024
In this week's episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred is joined once again by CSF Director of Federal Relations Taylor Schmitz to discuss the recent decision by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to close the Bears Ears National Monument to recreational shooting, a move that has raised concerns among the sporting community. Fred and Taylor delve into the implications of legislation such as the Dingell Act, which mandates that federal lands are open unless closed, and how this decision appears to contradict that principle. Taylor emphasizes the need for community action and awareness regarding the management of national monuments and the potential loss of access to recreational activities to sportsmen and women.
