A century ago many of our nation’s iconic game and sport fish species populations were severely depleted and we faced a fish and wildlife conservation crisis.
Hunters, the shooting sports industry and other conservationists banded together with state fish and wildlife agencies to create a trust fund for the restoration of game species. Later, anglers and the fishing and boating industries did the same for sport fish.
Today, our fish and wildlife agencies are challenged with inadequate funding, staff and resources due to ever-increasing demands on funding sources.
