This video, "Nose to the Ground," showcases SIG SAUER's involvement with tracking dogs in hunting. It highlights the legal practice in 44 states where trained dogs are used to locate wounded game, significantly increasing recovery rates. The film features SIG SAUER Ambassador Scotty Lago, an Olympic Snowboarder and registered dog tracker in New Hampshire, as he and his dog Camo embark on hunts to recover wounded deer and bear. The content emphasizes the dedication involved with late nights and early mornings, celebrating successful recoveries and the bond between tracker, dog, and hunter.

This video from SIG SAUER, in collaboration with Blood Origins, discusses the Pittman-Robertson Act and its critical role in funding wildlife conservation in the United States. It highlights how an 11% excise tax on rifles and 10% on handguns, paid by manufacturers but ultimately by consumers, generates significant revenue for state wildlife agencies. The video argues against the proposed "Return Act" which aims to remove this tax, emphasizing the devastating impact on wildlife populations prior to the legislation and the act's success in sustaining habitats and animal populations for future generations. SIG SAUER advocates for unity behind this tax, recognizing its value for both sportsmen and the broader ecosystem.
