Hunter Nation denounces the Biden administration and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for their decision to make no change to the gray wolf’s status under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced their decision to make no change in the wolf’s status, at least until September 2025, they stated their decision was based, in part, by the fact that the debate over the management of wolves has included more than two decades of litigation where courts have invalidated five out of six rules finalized by the USFWS on the gray wolf status.

“The time has come to stand up to the well-funded, bully, animal rights groups who have used the courts to keep the gray wolf on the Endangered Species List even though their populations have long since and far exceeded every population goal that was previously agreed upon to trigger delisting. Instead of celebrating the wolf recovery as the tremendous conservation success that has occurred, these anti-hunting groups have used the courts to turn the wolf into a judicial pawn in their game to end all forms of hunting. They know that they could never ban hunting in a fair fight, so their plan is to eliminate all the deer, elk, moose, and other game animals, which would, in turn, end hunting and make the American hunter extinct.” Mark went on to say, “Hunters are fortunate to have a champion like Representative Tom Tiffany in the halls of congress, and Hunter Nation will support him and his efforts to delist the gray wolf and return its management back to each state, where it belongs. Hunters need to realize that elections have consequences and if this isn’t a wakeup call to get hunters to vote in numbers that they have historically failed to do, then we have no one else to blame if our lifestyle becomes extinct.”
