| 1248.1 | there's a parallel law for fishing gear, too | HEFTY::CHARBONND | up creek, no paddle, no PFD | Fri Jan 29 1993 15:31 | 4 |
| Like what? It was passed in the late 1930's, initiated by sportsman,
and has since returned several billion dollars to the states to
be used to purchase conservation lands. I believe it amounts to
a 13 or 14 percent tax on all hunting goods.

From the NRA's sportsman's fact card.....
HUNTING AND CONSERVATION FACTS:
The Sportsmen's Contribution
Through hunting licenses, excise taxes and duck stamps, America's
18 million hunters annually contribute more than $500 million for
wildlife and habitat conservation, hunter education programs and
funding of state fish and wildlife agencies.
To date, American hunters have contributed over $6 billion directly
to wildlife conservation projects. Nearly 4 million acres of wild-
life habitat have been acquired since 1937 through the Pittman-
Robertson excise taxes on guns and ammo alone. Without the hunter
and his guns, today's wildlife management successes would not have
been possible.

| re .2 Yeah there are some people that believe this act has to do with
taxes on property that go to conservation. I jut wanted to point it out
to them that it is the sportsmen that pay these taxes. Thanks.

The Remington calendar that comes out each year is also a good source
of info on this subject and usually the game scene per month has facts
on what has been done to help that species along.
