Brad Rowse Memorial Wildlife Policy Fellowship
In December 2004, the sportsmen's-conservation community lost a rising star with the death of Brad Rowse, CSF's State Caucus Manager. To develop future wildlife professionals and to carry on the passion that Brad Rowse brought to sportsmen's policy, CSF and The Wildlife Society have partnered together to create the Brad Rowse Memorial Wildlife Policy Fellowship. Application information is now available.

Anti-Hunting Advocates Targeting State Legislatures; Emphasizes Need for State Caucuses to Work Together on Behalf of Sportsmen
In December, the Human Society of the United States and Fund for Animals announced that they would take animal rights advocacy to a whole new level by merging and launching a powerful new lobbying arm called the Humane Society Legislative Fund with a mission to ban all forms of hunting, fishing and trapping. Keeping their promise during the 2005 state legislative sessions, HSUS targeted states from Maine to California to ban or more strictly regulate how Americans take to the fields and woods.
