SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Smith and Wesson will again sponsorship the National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHF Day). On this monumental day across the nation, sportsmen and women are recognized for preserving our national heritage. Through their efforts, future generations are able to continue to enjoy the great outdoors and all the hunting and fishing recreation-related opportunities discovered there.NHF Day is set-aside for sportsmen to celebrate the ongoing-and past-conservation efforts. Each year, NHF Day is set to take place on the fourth Saturday in September. This year NHF Day falls on September 24.All hunters contribute to conservation, in the form excise taxes paid on sporting firearms, ammunition and archery equipment, and those contributions benefit every state. Those voluntary excise taxes have generated approximately $5.6 billion for wildlife conservation since 1939. That huge investment deserves to be celebrated and brought to the forefront to show how much sportsmen do for conservation.NHF Day is set-aside for sportsmen to celebrate the ongoing-and past-conservation efforts.
