This week's roundup lead story covers the East Coast legislative sportsmen's caucuses' efforts to address the vessel strike rule on North Atlantic Right Whales. Fred and CSF’s own Conner Barker report on the potential economic impact of the vessel strike reduction rule, as well as the safety concerns for boaters, along with the rule's inconsistency with states’ approved plans. 

Fred then covers all the news updates related to wildlife management and hunting around the nation, including the No-Net-Loss policy and dove hunting seasons. The No-Net-Loss policy aims to limit the loss of access to hunting and fishing opportunities by establishing a minimum acreage of publicly owned areas open to sportsmen and women. Several states have implemented this policy, while others are still working through legislative options. And, with fall in the air, dove hunting seasons - which are the first fall hunting opportunity for many hunters - are coming along with your pumpkin spice lattes. Fred highlights that dove hunting is an approachable entry point for those interested in the outdoors and provides a recruitment opportunity for new hunters. Fred ends the roundup with a report on a successful event in California where a key water quality bill was passed.
