National Hunting and Fishing Day
_______________________________________________________________________
Congress established National Hunting and Fishing Day to recognize hunters and anglers for their leadership in fish and wildlife conservation. Since launching in 1971, each fourth Saturday in September is set aside as NHF Day. This year’s NHF Day is set for September 23 with NASCAR legend Richard Childress serving as honorary chairman.
Across the state of Alabama, outdoor retailers, shooting ranges, private and public lakes, state parks and other parks across Alabama are offering discounts on various services or waiving admission fees to celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day. Additional participants will be added in the coming days.
