While acknowledging the hard work by Congress, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers reiterated the need for LWCF legislation that permanently reauthorizes and fully funds the highly successful conservation program.

I shot my second deer with one of those and the issue peep sights when I was 14. My father was deadly on running deer in...
