Maintain the Existing Makeup of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board
TAKE ACTIONVermont Wildlife Management (SB 258)
SB 258, if enacted, would change the requirements, structure and authority of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board, allowing for individuals who are philosophically opposed to hunting, angling and/or trapping to get a seat on the Board. The Board is the critically important regulatory body that decides on regulatory frameworks and other issues governing the access and harvest of wildlife in Vermont.
There is absolutely nothing positive in this bill for you as one of Vermont’s dedicated hunter-conservationists. This is an ill-advised attempt to dilute the voice of sportsman regarding future wildlife management and regulatory issues involving hunting, fishing and trapping in Vermont.
Deer hunting has a long-standing tradition, is a highly valued commodity, and is a strong economic driver for Vermont and the outdoor recreation industry. We are keenly interested in maintaining strong hunting, fishing and trapping constituencies in Vermont, and we strongly oppose efforts serving to greatly diminish Vermont’s traditional sporting seasons.
