Founded in 1989, the bipartisan Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus has grown into one of the largest caucuses in the US Congress with nearly 300 members representing almost all 50 states. With bipartisan leadership in both the House and the Senate, the Caucus is the sportsmen’s ally and first line of defense in Washington promoting and protecting the rights of hunters, trappers and anglers. The goal of the caucus is to facilitate communications and information exchange between participating members, developing a resource base for sportsmen policy issues.
