History of National Hunting and Fishing Day
In the 1960s, hunters and anglers embraced the heightened environmental awareness, but were discouraged that many people didn't understand the important role that sportsmen play in the conservation movement. Ira Joffe, a gun shop owner in Darby, PA, was the first to suggest an official day to thank sportsmen. In 1970, Pennsylvania Governor Raymond Shafer adopted Joffe's idea and created "Outdoor Sportsman's Day" throughout the state.
With the determination of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the concept of a national day for sportsmen soon emerged on the U.S. Senate floor. In June of 1971, Senator Thomas McIntyre of New Hampshire introduced Joint Resolution 117 authorizing National Hunting and Fishing Day on the 4th Saturday each September. Representative Bob Sikes of Florida, introduced an identical measure in the House. In early 1972, Congress unanimously passed both bills. On May 2, 1972, President Nixon signed the first proclamation of National Hunting and Fishing Day. By late summer, all 50 governors and over 600 mayors had joined in by proclaiming state and local versions of National Hunting and Fishing Day!
