Support builds in fight to keep school funding for archery, hunter education
The Biden Administration’s recent confirmation of its intent to remove federal funding for hunter education and archery programs in public schools continues to receive criticism from conservation groups and political leaders.
Among them is Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, of New York’s 21st district, and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24). Stefanik co-led a letter alongside Education and Workforce Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) and Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-09) which was sent to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona condemning the decision to withhold Elementary and Secondary Education Act funds from hunting and archery education programs nationwide and requesting a reversal of their action.

Pennsylvania’s Lake Wallenpaupack yields 40-inch inland striped bass
Darren Maria admits he’s not a trophy angler, but rather more of a catch-and-fillet type of fisherman.
But a fish he hooked into last October at Pennsylvania’s Lake Wallenpaupack changed his angling approach. In this case, the big fish turned Maria into a catch-and-mount angler. The Factoryville, Pa., resident landed a 42-inch, 33.85-pound inland striped bass on Oct. 26, 2022, good enough to earn a Trophy Fish Angler Award from the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.
