ASA Release: Increased Access to Public Lands

The American Sport Fishing Association put a release out on September 6, 2011 applauding the Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act which was introduced by Representatives Dan Benishek (R-MI) and Dan Boren (D-OK). The Act will ensure that recreational fishing, hunting and shooting sports are supported as public activities on federal lands. There are over 35 million acres of inaccessible land that could be opened up with this act, though it doesn't directly open the land for access.
