What
Did you know that there is an important vote coming up in November that concerns your right to fish, hunt, and wildlife conservation in the State of South Carolina?
When
The South Carolina Camo Coalition represents a conglomerate of outdoor organizations and is asking you to get active and vote this coming November 2nd. The SC legislators will vote on an amendment to write into the constitution of South Carolina that the citizens of South Carolina, by law, have the right to hunt and fish.
Why
It's important that we make it to the polls this November and get this ammendment written into the constitution before any opposition to our rights to hunt, fish, and conserve arises. If you enjoy the outdoors and want your children, grandchildren, and future family members to continue the tradition, then it's time to take action!
