Engaged hunters and anglers showed up in Green Bay to discuss the power the outdoor community has at the ballot box. We want hunters voting their values! We need to keep the pressure on our elected officials and NEVER miss an election.
HUNT THE VOTE
- Before Hunter Nation – 50% of licensed hunters did not vote
- Wisconsin has a hunting base of 855,000 (56% Conservative and 44% Liberal)
- Since 2016 Hunter Nation has reached over 12 million hunters in all 50 states
- In Wisconsin, Hunter Nation was directly responsible for getting 475,498 licensed hunters out to vote in the 2024 election
- Out of the 475,498 voters:
- 20,259 had not voted in the last 16 years
- 82,429 had only voted once in the last 16 years
- 15,307 were first time voters
WISCONSIN ADVOCACY
- Hunter Nation supports H.R. 845 Pet and Livestock Protection Act (Federal gray wolf delisting AND removes judicial review)
- Hunter Nation is fighting for a wolf numeric population goal vs a vague adaptive management plan
- Wolf populations need to be guided by science and not social pressure
- Currently the Wisconsin DNR states that Wisconsin has an estimated wolf population of 1,226 – This is somehow 102 less than last year!?
- Hold the DNR accountable for their lack of spending on programs that primarily benefit hunters and anglers – Less than 50% in FY 2023-24
