SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Recreational hunting is an important and traditional recreational activity
in which 14,000,000 Americans 16 years of age and older participate.
(2) Hunters have been and continue to be among the foremost supporters of
sound wildlife management and conservation practices in the United States.
(3) Persons who hunt and organizations related to hunting provide direct as-
sistance to wildlife managers and enforcement officers of Federal, State, and
local governments.
(4) Purchases of hunting licenses, permits, and stamps and excise taxes on
goods used by hunters have generated billions of dollars for wildlife conserva-
tion, research, and management.
(5) Recreational hunting is an essential component of effective wildlife man-
agement, in that it is an important tool for reducing conflicts between people
and wildlife and provides incentives for the conservation of wildlife and habitats
and ecosystems on which wildlife depends.
