ADVOCACY

Hunter Nation, is celebrating the efforts of Representatives Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Tom Tiffany (R-WI) for their wildlife management legislation, H.R.764 , known as, the “Trust The Science Act”. The legislation mandates the delisting of the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This delisting would effectively return the management of the gray wolf to state lawmakers and state wildlife officials. The legislation would also prevent judicial review of the legislative action. The bill passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee last week and demonstrates that science can trump politics on this critical conservation issue.

Keith Mark, Hunter Nation’s founder and CEO, had this to say about the legislation: “Hunter Nation salutes Representatives Tiffany and Boebert, as well as the other members on the House Natural Resources Committee who voted in support of this must needed legislation. Each state is far better suited to manage their own wildlife, as opposed to the federal government. However, the best part of the legislation is the provision that would prevent judicial review of the legislative action. For far too long anti-hunting and radical animal rights groups have made millions of dollars challenging wildlife management in court. The time has come to end that money making scam and start managing wildlife based on sound science and protect the long honored American tradition of hunting.”

RESPONSIBLE PREDATOR MANAGEMENT

What is this All About? For too long, Washington bureaucrats have tied our hands in managing our state's out of control wolf population. Attend these town hall meetings to hear about new legislation that will remove wolves from federal protection and prevent activist judges from intervening in the management of these apex predators.

Responsible predator management is an important component in maintaining balanced wildlife numbers. Wolf management must be returned to the states to help control the populations of moose, elk, deer, and other wildlife.

State's Rights

Madison, Wisconsin (January 13, 2021) - This week, Hunter Nation, along with the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, won our lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for ignoring a state law requirement to schedule a wolf hunt this winter.

A Jefferson County Circuit Court found that the Wisconsin DNR violated state law by refusing to schedule a winter 2021 gray wolf hunt when the gray wolf was delisted from the Endangered Species Act on January 4, 2021.

This is a historic victory for Wisconsin hunters and our constitutionally protected right to hunt and manage our wildlife here in Wisconsin!

Chris started as a volunteer for Hunter Nation in 2020 where he conducted market research identifying new opportunities to grow Hunter Nation’s grassroots efforts. This work led to new client partnerships and coalitions fighting for, supporting, and educating our membership and legislators.

As an avid hunter and fisherman and a father to three boys, the interest in Hunter Nation turned to a passion to ensure they have the same rights and opportunities to live our outdoor heritage.

Chris witnessed firsthand the effects Wisconsin’s state government had on our hunting and fishing rights in 2020. During that year in Wisconsin alone, Hunter Nation fought and won cases for holding a wolf hunt, reopening hunters’ safety education courses and opening access for fishing business owners who were not allowed to operate, essentially closing fishing for many Wisconsin residents.

John is an avid hunter, PA Whitetail and Ducks, and Black Bear are my game.

I do enjoy the small game hunt every so often throughout the season.

Good management and food plots on the privet land I hunt is my key to success during the season.
