Governors Sportsmen's Caucus

The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation formed a bipartisan caucus of governors to protect the interest of America's hunters and anglers, and advance sound wildlife management policy as the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus was launched at the National Governor's Association Annual Meeting in Biloxi, Mississippi, on July 17, 2009.

The GSC facilitates communication and information exchange between participating offices in support of policies and regulations that promote and protect hunting and fishing. Guided by a bipartisan leadership team of governors and staffed through the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, the GSC complements and enhances the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC).
