Regulation and legislation season is here, and your elected leaders need to know your values. Now is the time for all hunters to HOWL as ONE PACK. Now is the time to make our collective voices heard. As hunters, anglers, and wildlife advocates, we have a deep personal connection to the land and a passion for safeguarding the wild resources that fuel our way of life. Let’s translate that passion into action by reaching out to our elected leaders and urging them to reform critical policies—the Antiquities Act, the Endangered Species Act, and regulations concerning species like the North American gray wolf—so they better reflect the realities on the ground.
Send a strong, clear message that:
Hunting, fishing, and trapping are not just traditions but proven, science-backed mechanisms for thriving wildlife and habitat.
Local and state management plans, built on collaboration and sound biology, are the most effective way to balance both species recovery and human-wildlife coexistence.
Federal public lands must remain intact and accessible under a multiple-use mandate, ensuring every American has a stake in their future.
Reforms to the Antiquities Act should incorporate the voices of states and local stakeholders, striking a fair balance between national preservation and local needs.
Updates to the Endangered Species Act must emphasize actual recovery, streamline delisting processes, and reduce the legal gridlock that stalls conservation efforts.
Your personal story as a steward of the land carries weight: lawmakers listen when constituents speak from the heart. Use the email narrative below to show how you honor the animals you harvest, invest in habitat, and fight for the next generation’s right to enjoy healthy ecosystems. By coming together and calling on our representatives to prioritize hunting, sustainable harvests, wildlife, and fair management policies, we can secure a future where hunting, fishing, and conservation continue to thrive side by side.
