Walz shaped as outdoorsman in Congress and beyond
In Washington, Tim Walz rose from a trap shooter among Minnesota Democrats to a national outdoors advocate. He led conservation efforts, backed hunting and fishing funding, and earned NRA A ratings while guiding wildlife and habitat policies. His tenure, though, drew deer hunters and livestock owners over wolf management and timber harvests, amid mixed reception of his gun control stance.
