Missouri Deer
"A bill recently introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives will end up costing the sportsmen of the state and could set a negative precedent on who is responsible for any kinds of damage caused by wildlife...House Bill 2498 requires the Missouri Department of Conservation to pay to the owner of a motor vehicle the first $250 of any damage caused to a vehicle that collides with a deer." Take Action! Missouri sportsmen should contact their state representatives and ask them to oppose HB 2498. To contact your representative, call (573) 751-3659 or use the Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org.
