Help Us Stop the Spread of Wolves Before Our Big Game Herds and Hunting Heritage is Gone

To all Sportsmen,

As you know there’s been a lot of talk and controversy surrounding the wolf issue lately. Wolves are a very serious threat to the future of our big game herds and hunting here in the west and soon to be many states in America. We must fight this problem tooth and nail and we must make our senators and congressmen fight this serious problem as well.

Recently there’s been a few anti-wolf bills that have been submitted by a few senators that will stop wolves from spreading through the western states and wiping out our big game herds.

We’re urging everyone to contact your state’s senators and congressman by PHONE or EMAIL and tell them to get behind these bills that I’m going to discuss below.

House bill (6028) was submitted by Texas Senator. Chet Edwards and would make it impossible for the federal government to protect wolves by taking them off of the Endangered Species List and keeping them off.

Another bill (3919) that was submitted by Utah Senator. Orrin Hatch would also take wolves off of the endangered species list and keep them off.

I had the pleasure of listening to Utah Senator. Orrin Hatch and Utah Congressman. Jim Matheson on Monday, Oct 11th regarding this issue and these men are going to do whatever it takes to protect our big game herds and heritage in America.

Here’s some disturbing numbers and the negative impact wolves have had on our big game herds here in the west:
