Jeffrey Frischkorn: Local rod, gun clubs are a time-honored tradition

Featured, Fishing, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, Ohio, Opinion /

Members of Ohio’s conservation/sportsmen/rod and gun clubs are often viewed by politicians and pro-fish and wildlife management groups as shock troops. Yet, such a view blurs the bottom line for belonging to a club.
