To take action against Bill S.258 follow the steps below!

https://www.backcountryhunters.org/take_action#/422

1. https://legislature.vermont.gov/people/ all you have to type in your town, and it will tell you both your representative and your senator. Just need your representative at this point. From there you can get their contact information. Send them an email telling them why you are opposed to S.258

2. Use BHA Action Alert. You can find it on the nebha instagram , under the Take Action tab on the BHA website (scroll all the way to the map and click on VT), or the following link:https://www.backcountryhunters.org/take_action#/422 . Same deal, type in the address and it will automatically find your rep and you can send a message from there.

3. Call the statehouse switchboard (after identifying your rep using step 1). (802) 828-2228 and leave a message for your rep that you are a constituent and you are against S.258

Summary of Bill S.258

“The goals of this bill are to remove outdoors people from guidance of how we hunt, fish, and trap and to further reduce coyote hunting. It won’t stop here. Next year it will be more, and then more. For those who don't deal with these matters all the time it's important to know that all the Fish and Wildlife Board has authority over is HOW we are allowed to hunt, fish, and trap for certain species. The antis, in typical fashion continue to conflate the role of the board with the management of all wildlife.
Placing those opposed to the taking of wildlife on a board that only has authority over the taking of wildlife makes about as much sense as placing a barber in charge of pre-flight safety inspections on commercial airplanes. Nothing good will come of it.
-This bill disbands the Fish and Wildlife Board and dismisses all current members. It then creates a new advisory board and gives the authority to appoint 8 of the board members to the legislature, leaving four for the commissioner.
-The same legislature that has decided rural Vermonters and our right to hunt don’t matter would appoint 66% of board members.
-There will only be 12 members, leaving two counties without a representative.
-The law would require appointing “nonconsumptive” users, defined as people who do not hunt, fish, or trap.
-It removes existing language requiring the maintenance of the deer herd as a primary goal of the department.
-Finally, it makes it illegal to hunt coyotes over bait or with hounds.” - Vermont Traditions Coalition

Thanks for joining this week's STAGR Cast. In today's special episode, I sat down with the Sargent Brothers from Waterbury, Vermont. These guys, along with their friends, have been chasing big bucks in the North Maine woods for over 40 years. What makes it unique? They've been doing it out of a wall tent set up in a logging road pull-off.

Get ready for some incredible stories, memories, and wisdom from their decades of hunting adventures. Let's dive in and enjoy the ride with the Sargent Brothers."

Greg and Adam sit down and recap the 2024 Yankee Classic, talk about some new products coming, some funny stories, discussion and more!
