Willy scores each official's public record from 0 to 100 and shows it on a two-sided scale: antlers for records that protect the right (Button Buck to 10-Point), hunting-regulation terms for records that restrict it (Fence Row to Closed Season), and Deer Crossing in the middle. Every vote, bill and official act that counts is listed and linked, so you can check the math yourself.
Each state page covers its U.S. House delegation, U.S. Senators, governor and, over time, its state legislators.
