Proposed energy bills will be bad for sportsmen. Photo by Dusan Smetana.

Recently introduced House of Representatives legislation would undermine responsible public lands energy development and jeopardize our American sporting traditions. While energy development is a legitimate use of public lands, development must be done in a way that balances energy production with conservation of fish and wildlife habitat and upholds opportunities to hunt and fish.

Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development, a coalition of businesses, organizations and individuals led in part by the TRCP, had a representative testify before the House highlighting flaws in these bills.

Take a moment to contact your members of Congress. Ask them to support sustainable fish and wildlife populations, American sportsmen and our nation’s $821 billion per-year outdoor recreation-based economy by voting NO on these bills.
