When we learned that author and hunter Linden Loren had mentioned HOWL for Wildlife into his new book (released 2023), we knew a conversation was needed. HOWL was barely out of the gate with a growing base of support in the US, but this kind of callout set a high bar for trust and belief in our mission. Keep in mind...no author wants their work outdated or obsolete because an organ...

March 2024 - The battle to protect hunting and wildlife management in Colorado continues. The anti-hunting industry is rallying around deceptive slogans and flat-out lies about the hunting community and the success of conservation, while at the same time these politically supported activists are working to plant agenda driven Commissioners who can steer policy in the coming years.

Nearly 150 MILLION Americans live within 2 hours of an ocean... so the concept of "hunting the coastal waters" is something that we all need to be aware of and support. Just like hunting, angling opportunity is part of the basic human experience, and as a community we need to be concerned about habitat quality, access and opportunity. 

Nearly 1200 pages of petitions have recently been submitted to the Calif. F&G Commission, mos...

With a potential ballot initiative in Colorado that would outlaw hunting of mtn lions and bobcats, and also establish statutory (legal) language defining "trophy hunting", the 250k-300k non-resident hunters who want to chase big-game in Colorado have A LOT riding on the Nov. vote. 

There is a path to victory - and we have a call to action!  Colo...

Even as the Covid-19 outbreak drove more people into America's forests, waterways, and shooting ranges, the support for hunting, fishing, trapping, and recreational shooting has declined over the past three years, according to a recent poll of Americans' sentiments toward these activities. After almost 30 years of rising public support, there has been a decline in support for legal field sports. This decline may be due to a broader...

Essentially - hunters and other public land users need the 4D rule in place, to mai...

It is becoming more & more apparent that a majority of the current WA state F&W Commission has a bias against hunters, and hunting. The threats are directed at bear and cougar hunting, with indirect impacts which will be felt across all species in Washington and likely will impact hunters and wildlife nationwide. The threats here are perpetrated by the same anti-hunting industry players we see in Colorado, California, Arizo...
