Two pieces of federal legislation will enhance hunting, fishing and recreational activities on federally managed land.

On July 30, the U.S. House of Representatives passed, by an overwhelming 404-1 vote, a pro-sportsmen amendment to House Resolution 3534. HR 3534 is a massive energy bill that opens the door to additional access for a variety of outdoor activities and deals with numerous energy and land management issues.
