WASHINGTON -- Several dozen fishing, hunting and outdoors organizations and companies opposed to the proposed Pebble gold mine in Alaska are hoping to get presidential candidates on the record about it. 

Those of us who enjoy to hunt and fish should want to know where the presidential candidates stand on issues related to the natural resources that make possible the sports we love. One issue that's key in understanding the ideals of anglers and hunters is the debate surrounding the proposed Pebble Mine, in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska.
