Maryland Governor O'Malley Receives "Sportsmen's Best Friend" Award

Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley was honored with the prestigious Sportsmen's Best Friend of the Year Award by the Maryland Legislative Sportsmen's Foundation at its 7^th Annual Banquet & Auction in Annapolis, Maryland.  It is the highest honor annually awarded by the Foundation - an affiliate, non-profit organization of the bi-partisan Maryland Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus within the Maryland General Assembly.

The Governor was honored in recognition of his extraordinary leadership on the issues critical to the time-honored traditions of fishing, hunting and trapping, as well as his support of legislation that impacts Maryland's sportsmen and women.  

Jeff Crane, President of CSF said, "America's and Maryland's first conservationists are hunters and anglers. The leadership of the Maryland Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus understands this and always keeps the sportsmen's best interests in mind. We salute this caucus and its partnership with the Foundation as a standard bearer for state caucuses to emulate."
