Nebraska Governor Stands Up For Sportsmen, Veto’s Hunting Ban

Today, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman vetoed a bill that would have banned Mountain lion hunting in Nebraska. The measure, LB 671, sought to remove the authority of the state’s wildlife management professionals in favor of legislative ban on mountain lion hunting.

In his veto message, Governor Heineman stated “Nebraskans expect responsible wildlife management. LB 671 eliminates an important tool used to accomplish it. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission should retain the ability to determine those management actions which are necessary to protect both the health and safety of our citizens and the wildlife in our state. Removing the agency’s authority to manage mountain lions through hunting at this time is poor public policy.” Read more

At their annual convention on March 22 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, the Michigan Bear Hunters Association once again stepped up financially to defend hunting rights by announcing a $100,000 donation to Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management (CPWM).
