The purpose of this letter is to strongly recommend all senators vote against H.J. Res. 140, to ask you to work with President Trump to seek ways to permanently protect the Boundary Waters, and to send a unified message that America is still a land that relentlessly protects its greatest wilderness terrain.
Even several years after his first spring snow goose hunt, Scott Doheny of New Prague, Minn., takes pleasure in recalling the details.
“We found a huge mass of feeding birds my first morning and set ourselves up to pass-shoot them,” said Doheny, an avid waterfowl hunter. “The fog that morning was thick, with very little breeze. I remember getting out of my truck and hearing them get up and start to peel off from the roost. It was deafening.”

For the better part of 35 years, I attended sport, travel and outdoor shows throughout the northeast from January through April. It was the heyday of these kinds of shows, attracting people from far and wide.
Included among these were nine day shows in Harrisburg (still the biggest of its kind in the country), Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago and Indianapolis. Other shows that stood out for sheer numbers of people were the World Fishing and Outdoor Expo in Suffern, N.Y. and the Pittsburgh Expo in Monroeville. With all this trade show experience, not one could compare to the impressive number of seminars and clinics at the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo in Niagara Falls.

As sweeping changes to the federal Clean Water Act in recent years have weakened protections for wetlands, Illinois has become the first state in the nation to officially recognize a conservation tactic known as rewilding.
