How bipartisan state leaders quietly protect hunting, fishing access, and outdoor traditions nationwide.
The NASC Summit isn’t just another legislative conference—it’s where policy concepts and strategies to shape the future of hunting, fishing, and outdoor access are developed. In this episode of The Sportsmen’s Voice, host Fred Bird takes listeners inside the 2025 NASC Summit in Memphis, Tennessee, a first-of-its-kind joint effort between the Tennessee and Mississippi Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucuses.
You’ll hear candid conversations with state legislators, conservation leaders, and partners like Ducks Unlimited and the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation about how collaboration at the state level drives meaningful wins for sportsmen. From defending access to public lands and protecting waterfowl hunting traditions to navigating debates over lead ammunition bans and Sunday hunting laws, this episode reveals how policy battles are won—or lost—long before they ever reach Washington.
Whether you’re passionate about waterfowl hunting, fisheries management, or protecting the future of outdoor access, this episode offers an insider’s look at how leadership, collaboration, and boots-on-the-ground knowledge are keeping America’s sporting heritage strong.
