 * Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act:** also know as the **Pittman-Robertson Act**

The act was first approved on september 2nd of 1937 and became effective july 1st 1938. The first amendment to this act was made in 1939 and there have been 15 since. This is a national legislation however it works individually with each states fishing and game department. The goal of the law is to rebuilt populations and protect their environments. It was amended to include funding for proper training of future hunters and developed public shooting ranges. In the early nineteen hundreds deer were so scares it was a notable event to see a white tail deer. Animals were constantly in trouble because humans were encroaching into their habitats. This law was created to collect funding so that we could maintain and manage wildlife. Funding is collected by the incorporation of an 11 percent tax on all hunting sports good such as guns ammunition and archery equipment. This law has been very effective, in the last 75 years tax on hunting good has provided nearly 5 billion dollars towards conservation efforts. **http://tinyurl.com/63hhnf7**
