In this week’s episode of the Sportsman's Voice Roundup, our lead story brings us to Nebraska where 37 million dollars in sportsmen conservation dollars has been SAVED host Fred Bird discusses is joined by Jake Gould to talk about a thwarted effort in the Nebraska Unicam to take ‘surplus’ from sportsman-conservation funds and transfer them to the state’s general fund. Fred then tackles all the news that’s fit to print about wildlife conservation across the country, including the Explore Act, which aims to improve recreational shooting opportunities, a Massachusetts Senate bill that supports discounted or free licenses, a Kentucky bill that prohibits payment card networks from distinguishing firearm retailers, Wisconsin bills related to hunting and wildlife management, a Colorado bill proposing an 11% tax on firearms and ammunition, and the expansion of the Collegiate Sportsmen and Women's Coalition to Clemson and LSU. Takeaways The Explore Act (HR 6492) is a comprehensive outdoor recreation package that includes provisions to improve recreational shooting opportunities. The Massachusetts Senate bill seeks to support discounted or free licenses to prevent the loss of critical conservation funding. The Kentucky bill prohibits payment card networks from distinguishing firearm retailers, which is a tactic being deployed in many states. Wisconsin passed bills related to air guns in big game hunting, muzzleloaders, and wolf management, but also vetoed a bill that would have prohibited hunters from taking antlerless deer in certain areas. Colorado is considering a bill that would impose an 11% tax on firearms and ammunition. The Collegiate Sportsmen and Women's Coalition has expanded to include Clemson and LSU.
