In recent years, however, an increasingly large loophole has been growing—one that allows direct-to-consumer sales from foreign manufacturers to fly under the radar.To understand the issue, MeatEater spoke with Mike Leonard, Vice President of Government Affairs at the American Sportfishing Association—an organization that has been lobbying for a bill in…
