DSC Welcomes New Great Lakes Regional Chapter

(March 3, 2021 – DALLAS) — DSC is excited to announce its new Great Lakes Regional Chapter. Based out of Michigan, this chapter will serve the Great Lakes states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. This group has years of experience under its belt and will be a powerhouse chapter in its region.

Chapters play an influential role in achieving DSC’s vision of a society that values wildlife, engages in its conservation and understands and supports the role of well-regulated hunting in the sustainable use of wild resources.

The DSC Great Lakes Regional Chapter plans to focus predominantly on youth education and wildlife conservation in its region. It already has several ongoing projects dedicated to these areas.

Dr. Mike Wilmot, president of the DSC Great Lakes Regional Chapter, said he’s excited about the new chapter’s potential.

“The affiliation with Dallas Safari Club ensures that projects like the Chapter’s Wish Hunt program (designed specifically for disabled and/or critically ill youth wishing to hunt) and the Chapter’s Heroes Program (recognizing active-duty military and first responders by providing all-expenses paid big game hunting experiences) will prove to be remarkably successful.” Read more

NSSF Applauds Sen. Cramer’s ‘Fair Access to Banking Act’

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The NSSF®, the firearm industry’s trade association, applauded U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer’s (R-N.D.) introduction of the Fair Access to Banking Act. The much-needed legislation will pick up where the Fair Access to Financial Services Banking Rule left off, which was proposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency until the Biden administration “paused” publication of the finalized rule.

The bill was introduced with 26 cosponsors and expands upon the work begun in the last Congress by Sen. Cramer’s introduction of S. 821, Freedom Financing Act. The Fair Access to Banking Act would require banks to provide access to services, capital, and credit based on the objective risk assessment of individual customers, rather than subjective broad-based decisions affecting whole categories or classes of customers.

The Fair Access to Banking Act would stop corporate banks from picking winners and losers based on executives’ personal politics. It also protects banks from outside pressure by special interest groups seeking to use the banks as a political weapon to advance their agenda. Read more

Arizona: More Than 100 Captive Desert Tortoises Need Forever Homes

Prepare now to welcome home new pet

PHOENIX — For some, a dog or cat will do just fine. But for others who are considering adopting something truly unique to Arizona, say hello to your next family member:

A Sonoran desert tortoise.

“Many people don’t even consider opening up their homes to desert tortoises, but they make fantastic and personable pets,” said Tegan Wolf, desert tortoise adoption program coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD).

“It’s rewarding to hear stories from those who have adopted a captive tortoise and made them part of the family, because they’re a unique alternative to traditional family pets. They offer many of the same life lessons to children, and they can provide just as much companionship and personality as a dog or cat.”

Due primarily to illegal breeding, AZGFD has more than 100 tortoises of various ages and sizes available for adoption. Captive tortoises grow up to about 14 inches long and can live upward of 100 years. They cannot be released back into the wild, however, because they could spread diseases that harm wild populations.
