Summary

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by George Ermert and Alec Bekkers to share an update on the push for a Sandhill Crane Hunt and the continuation of the Knowles-Nelson stewardship program. The guys recap last month's Camo at the Capitol event, and share how conversations went with Wisconsin's lawmakers regarding the introduction of a responsible sandhill crane hunt, and the Knowles-Nelson stewardship fund. George shares his thoughts on the fantastic turnout from the event, and then updates us on the status of both bills sharing how close we really are to advancing them! It's important to note that the hearing of these bills ends on February 19th, and hunters & anglers must contact their state representatives before then if we want to continue pushing these bills forward.
