Texas
Texas ranks 2nd nationwide in number of sportsmen, 4th in spending, and 3rd sportsmen-related jobs. The Lone Star State's 2.71 million hunters and anglers spend $4.1 billion annually and support 65,993 jobs. Working with the CSF in a coordinated effort to protect and promote the sportsmen’s traditions in Texas are members of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus.

Recently, Virginia has proposed legislation that would make the punishment for poaching, in their state, a 1-5 year prison sentence through HB-449.
