I wanted to let you know about an important summit Feb 3-4 for those who care about hunting, fishing and conservation.
The summit tackles the issue of wildlife protection and management by exploring "hands on" and proven approaches to conserving, protecting and restoring our watersheds so that future generations may experience America's hunting and fishing heritage.
