TEXAS SENATE APPROVES RIGHT TO HUNT AND FISH

The Texas State Senate gave its approval last week to a measure that would forever protect hunting and fishing in the Lone Star State. SJR 22 now goes to the House for consideration, where House companion bill HJR 61 was reported out of a committee. SJR 22 and HJR 61 would protect the use of traditional methods and promote wildlife management and conservation. Constitutionally protecting the American heritage of hunting, fishing and trapping for future generations is critically important as radical anti-hunting organizations are pursuing an agenda intended to destroy this heritage and the decades-old, successful model of wildlife conservation in America. Also this week, a Texas House committee considers a number of bills that would create tax-free holidays for gun owners and sportsmen.
