We are fortunate to have extensive hunting acreage and typically supportive local government. Nonetheless, on occasion the winds blow in a direction unfavorable to local sportsmen. The EHSA’s status as an alliance of respected and respectful local sportsmen provides a unified voice. EHSA members sit on a number of official town committees and have been a force in public debates when circumstances require it.
In 2023 EHSA defeated the Town’s stated intent to ban the new state-wide spring turkey hunting season.
For the 2023 local town board election, ESHA hosted a non partisan EH Town Board ‘Meet the Candidates’ night.
From 2022 on, EHSA has participated in advocacy and support for the Maidstone Gun Club. Ongoing.
In 2019 , EHSA defended Deer Hunting (again): EHSA defeated another initiative to ban weekend deer hunting.
In 2016 EHSA defended Deer Hunting: EHSA defeated a well-organized initiative to ban weekend deer hunting.
Cooperation with local government: Presence on the Town’s Wildlife, Nature Preserve and Trails Advisory Committees.
Environmental/Anti-Litter Activism: In cooperation with the EH Litter Action Committee.
