Help Get Grizzlies Off The Endangered Species List

Judge Donald W. Molloy put grizzlies in Montana on the endangered species list back in 2009 which is now being appealed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This appeal and it’s outcome is very important and may decide how difficult it will be in the future to delist animals once they’re put on the endangered species list.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services have stated that the grizzlies have surpassed their recovery goals but anti-hunting groups are fighting to keep grizzlies on the endangered species list.

The current grizzly population in Yellowstone is at 600. Many biologist believe that the grizzly population is oversaturated. The target recovery goal was 400-500 bears.

Sportsmen Are True Stewards For The Outdoors

Nobody and I mean nobody loves or respects the outdoors and our wildlife more than hunters and sportsmen. There're people out there who will tell you a different story and call us murders and killers but that couldn't be further from the truth. Nobody studies, watches, protects, reintroduces or respects America's wildlife more than hunters. Hunters spend billions of dollars every year to sustain and protect our wildlife through licenses, donations and buying land to protect their habitat.



How much do animal rights groups spend to protect and sustain America's wildlife?....Yeah, we have no idea either.

Theodore Roosevelt was a true sportsmen, a true hunter and a true conservationists. He started by protecting land for our wildlife and reintroducing species into areas that were wiped out because of settlers. Without his efforts it's unimaginable to think where our big game populations and wildlife would be right now. Since him there hasn't really been a president that did as much for our wildlife and sportsmen's rights as Theodore Roosevelt did.



It's up to us sportsmen to protect and preserve our rights and wildlife if we wish to continue hunting, fishing, trapping and enjoying America's beautiful outdoors for generations to come.



I know I want my children to have the same awesome experiences I had with my father and family out hunting and fishing. I cherish those memories more than any other memories from my childhood.



Hunting and fishing is much more than a hobby for sportsmen. It's a lifestyle, it's a way of life, it's a religion.



Everyone needs to become more aware of the problems sportsmen are facing everyday.



We wish everyone a great hunting season. Be safe and the best of succes.

Wolf Petition -

We will call on Congress to:

We will call on the Western States to:
1. Immediately reduce wolf numbers to the levels that were originally agreed upon in reintroduction areas.

California Sportsmen- Tell Your Senator to Vote NO on Gun Registry Bill

“A gun registry bill in California is dangerously close to passage.

Assembly Bill 1810, sponsored by Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D- LA), would require the state to keep registration information for all firearm transfers, including from transfers of commonly used hunting rifles and shotguns.

Current California law requires the state to keep a database containing information acquired from handgun transfers only. The information kept by the state includes the owner’s name and address as well as a description and serial number of the handgun. Under AB 1810, this same information would be kept for all firearms transfers.

“It’s bad enough that the state keeps personal information from handgun transfers,” said Jeremy Rine, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance associate director of state services. “There is no compelling reason for Californians’ Second Amendment rights being further infringed through this legislation.”

Earlier this year, AB 1810 passed the California Assembly and, on August 12, the bill passed out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill could now be voted on by the full Senate at any time.

Take Action! California sportsmen should immediately contact their state senators and urge them to oppose AB 1810. Tell them there is no justification for expanding the state’s registry to include all firearms transfers by law abiding gun owners.”

The Idaho Fish and Game Is Requesting Public Comments For Answers To The Wolf Problem

“The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking public comments on a proposal to reduce the wolf population in part of the Clearwater drainage.

The proposal calls for reducing the population of wolves in two big game management units that make up the Lolo elk management zone to address unacceptable impacts of wolf predation.

Once public comments have been reviewed, the proposal will be submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approval.”

Kristy Lee Cook Stands Up To PETA

Kristy Lee Cook is the host of ‘Goin Country’ which airs on the Versus network. Recently she went on some hunting adventures with her friends and family on the show and this got PETA in an uproar.

PETA slammed Kristy on their blog stating that, “It sounds like she must have had those tired old defenses of hunting hammered into her as a kid, because she isn’t embarrassed to float the incredibly old saw that hunters somehow help animals…”

Rather than cowering down like some celebrities do when an animal rights group attacks them Kristy being the strong, cool headed sportsmen she is let PETA have it by saying this, “I join the ranks of millions of American hunters who celebrate our heritage and who conserve millions of acres of wild lands,” Cook said. “These same people support more than 600,000 jobs across the country and provide a critical voice to encourage more investment in American conservation.”

We applaud you Kristy for standing up in what you believe in and not backing down.

Another Setback In Our Fight Against The Canadian Gray Wolf

By MATT VOLZ , Associated Press

Last update: August 5, 2010 – 5:01 PM

“HELENA, Mont. – A federal judge has ordered endangered species protections reinstated for the gray wolf in Montana and Idaho.

The federal government last year removed protections for wolves in those two states but not in Wyoming. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy says in his ruling Thursday the government’s decision was a political solution and does not comply with the federal Endangered Species Act.

Molloy says the entire Rocky Mountain wolf population must be either listed or removed as an endangered species, but the protections can’t be separated by state.”

This is definitely a set back in our fight against the Canadian Gray Wolf and the anti-hunting organizations.

Rest assured Hunters Against PETA will never stop fighting this serious threat to our big game herds and our hunting rights. We urge everyone to send us your opinions and also send your opinions to Secretary Salazar. The way we’re going to win this battle is by strength in numbers.

Here is Secretary Salazar’s contact email and website: feedback@ios.doi.gov – http://www.doi.gov/public/contact-us.cfm

Thank you for your support.

Hunters Against PETA and Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar

It was great meeting Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar at the “public listening sessions” today, Aug 3rd. He was decked out in blue jeans, maroon cowboy boots and a bolo neck tie. He talked about about many issues regarding Utah’s environment such as oil and land leases, ATV’s – off road vehicles and how we’re going to preserve our land (open and close roads and trails). Also in attendance were Bob Abbey (Director, Bureau of Land Management), Nancy Sutley (Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality), Ralph Becker (Salt Lake City’s Mayor), Gary Herbert (Governor of Utah).

There were also many different organizations from many different parts of Utah and America in attendance. There were several hundred people in attendance.

We were able to meet Secretary Salazar face to face and we were given a limited amount of time to speak with him so we chose to ask a question regarding a pressing issue here in the west.

Here is the question we asked Secretary Salazar:

“What is the federal government doing to stop the Canadian Gray Wolf from wiping out our elk and deer herds here in the western states? We know some wolf hunts have been established but what other steps is the government doing to protect our elk and deer herds?”

Unfortunately because he was asked 35 questions by 35 different people/organizations he was unable to answer our question. However, he promised that our question will be answered in a report that will be released in September.

After we asked our question and stepped down it was great to hear the support for us from other fellow hunters and sportsmen in the room. We could tell by listening to the applause and shouts that this is an important issue with sportsmen not only in Utah but here in the west.

During the 2 hour meeting they talked several times about protecting our lands for hunting and fishing. We were actually pleasantly surprised how pro hunting and fishing the meeting was. They also talked about preserving our heritage which obviously is very important to almost all sportsmen across America.

Salt Lake City Mayor Becker was quoted as saying “Having land for us and our children to hunt and fish.”

They also talked about how our youth are losing touch with the outdoors and how we can educate our youth about the outdoors so they’ll love going hunting, fishing, camping and hiking.

We want to thank everyone who emailed us with questions to ask Secretary Salazar, we gave your questions to him and he took them from us and again stated that “all questions will be answered in a report that will be released in September.” We will post the full report on our site as soon as it comes out.

Secretary Salazar also stated that he does read and check the emails he receives from people. If you ever have an issue please send your opinion or idea to him. We will keep his email address permanently posted on our site.

Group Joins Animal Rights Group To Spread Wolves Across America

The (CBD) Center for Biological Diversity is throwing their hat into the wolf ring and asking for wolves to be put back on the Endangered Species List and to be introduced into every state in America. Just last week the group asked the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to make a plan to introduce wolves nationwide.

Their petition was sent to the FWS asking them for a nationwide “recovery” plan for the wolves.

Here’s what the CBD had to say “existing recovery plans for wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains and upper Midwest are out of date and apply to a small fraction of the wolf’s historic range” and that wolf populations be established in “suitable habitat in the Pacific Northwest, California, Great Basin, southern Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and New England.”

They’re essentially wanting wolves to be in every corner of America.

As most hunters know and those who have been following the wolf problem here in the west have witnessed first hand the mass destruction of our elk herds in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

The wolves that were introduced back into Yellowstone are not native to America and are much bigger and more aggressive than the wolves that were previously here.

We at Hunters Against PETA will do whatever we can to stop this from happening.
