Big news out of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA). Last month, the group welcomed its 10,000th member. Launched in 2007, the USA is a joint venture of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) and 22 unions. The nonpolitical hunting and fishing club is open to union members, retirees and their families.
Martin Reier, a member of Electrical Workers Local 242 from Duluth, Minn., is the USA’s 10,000th member. As a special recognition, Reier received a U.S.-made Beretta 3901 American Citizen shotgun with the USA logo on the receiver. Reier says he learned about the USA at one of his local meetings and was eager to join a club supported by his union.
Once I heard about the USA and all they had to offer, I was ready to sign-up. I think it’s very important for hunters and anglers to belong to organizations, like the USA, that are working to protect their hunting and fishing heritage.
