Read MoreOregon’s IP28: The Ballot Measure That Would End Hunting
A sweeping ballot measure in Oregon threatens to redefine hunting, fishing, and animal management as criminal acts by removing long-standing legal protections.

Read MoreThe Conservation Funding Crisis: How Fewer Hunters Threatens Wildlife Management
America’s conservation system relies on hunters and anglers, but declining participation is putting that model at risk. While excise taxes still generate strong funding, most now comes from non-hunting shooters, creating both a gap and an opportunity. Fewer hunters mean reduced revenue, weaker wildlife management, and economic strain on rural communities. Sustaining conservation will require strengthening participation, supporting license sales, and turning financial contributors into active hunters to keep the system working.
Read MoreThe Empty Stand: New Projections Show a Crisis in Hunter Replacement
A growing decline in hunter participation signals a serious threat to wildlife management and conservation. Long before aging demographics became the focus, recruitment has failed to keep pace, shrinking hunters’ role nationwide. As numbers fall, so does the ability to manage wildlife populations, leading to increasing ecological and agricultural challenges. This is more than a generational shift—it’s a structural issue. Reversing the trend will require expanding recruitment beyond tradition and actively bringing new participants into the field.

Oregon’s IP28 ballot measure reaches far beyond hunting, targeting farming, fishing, and everyday life by removing key legal protections.
