UNITED WATERFOWLERS OF FL. Board of Directors has voted to support HJR 1157 and SJR 1234.  These bills would set up a vote on the next ballot, 2024, to add a RIGHT TO FISH AND HUNT to the Florida State Constitution.  When these bills pass the State Legislature, UW-F will be working to build a positive vote by the public to the proposed  amendment.

The 1.3 million looks like a big mistake to me. Data from 2011 on FWC site states that hunters in Florida spent 1.6 billion. Here's the link.............Economics | FWC (myfwc.com)

This is funny

Wildlife Viewing*

$4.9 billion

in economic contributions and 44,623

 jobs


This data is consistent with only 150 cougars remaining.

OGBO.....organizations have rules....and Board Votes are required before we go out with an OFFICIAL POSITION on any subject related to laws or government regulations.   Even obvious ones.

Bohicky, I think the point is that a group of people worked together to help hunting, instead of just being on a forum pizzing and moaning all the time.
