NRA and dozens of other sportsmen's groups are supporting the Hunting Heritage Protection Act, which aims to recognize the heritage of hunting and provide opportunities for continued hunting on federal public land. The act is made up of companion bills, SB 1348, sponsored by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), and HR 3046, sponsored by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.).
“This legislation simply seeks to protect the rights of sportsmen to hunt on federal public lands all across America,” said Chambliss. “Hunting is truly an American tradition and a key component to our conservation and wildlife management practices. By maintaining designated levels of federal land for hunting, we are affording thousands of men, women, boys and girls the opportunity to enjoy this great American pastime.”
