The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF)’s 2019 sportsmen’s policy issues briefs are now available online.
Each year, CSF’s policy team compiles a series of issue briefs that cover a wide range of policy issues affecting the sportsmen’s conservation community. The 2019 collection includes 76 individual state issue briefs and 14 federal issue briefs that provide background on legislative, regulatory, and other policy updates of interest to hunters, anglers, recreational shooters, and trappers throughout the country.
