Support for bills that would insure no net loss of hunting lands in Florida continues to grow. Now, the Florida Sportsman Communications Network proudly adds its name to list.

“We strongly support the concept of no net loss of hunting lands and an inventory of potentially huntable lands in Florida,” says Florida Sportsman founder, Karl Wickstrom. “Preserving our hunting heritage is an important part of conserving fish and wildlife populations and habitats in this great state.”
