TSV Roundup Week of October 28th, 2024

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 • Duration 01:15:47

In this special episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, the LAST one before the election, host Fred Bird discusses the importance of voting in the upcoming elections, particularly for hunters, anglers, target shooters, trappers and other sportsmen and women in key conservation battleground states like Colorado and Florida. Hear from Travis Thompson and Mark Lance who discuss Florida’s Amendment 2 RTHF Amendment and Dan Gates who speaks about Colorado’s Proposition 127 and emphasizes the need for informed voting and civic responsibility, urging listeners to get OUT of the tree stand or OFF the water for Election Day and participate actively in the electoral process. Takeaways Vote NO On Colorado Proposition 127: Proposition 127 poses significant risks to wildlife management in Colorado. The vote will come down to getting out the vote and rely on community engagement in educating voters about Prop 127, meanwhile, voter fatigue is a risk. Vote YES On Florida Amendment 2: Amendment 2 aims to establish the right to hunt and fish in Florida, and the odds look great with recent polling showing strong public support nearly 67%. Myths surrounding Amendment 2 include impacts on private property rights, which are unfounded.
