Thanks, Fletcher. I’ve had the privilege to attend half a dozen of these state events so far, and in every case I’ve been “uplifted” by the overall high quality of people and values I encounter. But UBI stands out by its strong commitment to speaking out and working for meaningful hunting ethics and the conservation of wildlife habitat. Too many of our trad organizations — like too many local chapters of my beloved Trout Unlimited — just want to be social clubs and duck their responsibility to give back to the resource that sustains us all. In that respect UBI is a much needed role model. It was my honor to attend. Dave
