By Oregon Sportsmen Association,

People who organize or participate in fishing derbies or hunting competitions could be fined $6,250 and face up to 364 days in jail if a bill introduced in the Oregon State Senate passes.

The extreme bill, backed by the Humane Society of the United States, would end all hunting and fishing tournaments and criminalize participation in any event that involves killing wildlife for prizes or entertainment.

Hunters, anglers, and other Oregon sportsmen who care about maintaining hunting rights are urged to contact their legislators and ask them to vote no on SB 723.  The Sportsmen’s Alliance protects and defends hunting, fishing, and trapping pursuits that raise the money to pay for America’s wildlife conservation programs.
