Do Hunters Really Pay For Wildlife?
Do Hunters Really Pay For Wildlife?
Do Hunters Really Pay for Wildlife? If you spend any time in the hunting policy world, you’ve probably heard two totally different claims: “Hunters pay for wildlife. Hunting is conservation.” vs. “Hunters only pay 6%. Ninety-four percent of wildlife funding comes from non-hunters.” The second line comes from a 2014/2015 paper by Mark Smith and Donald Molde that anti-hunting groups now quote constantly. They use it to “prove” that hunters are basically irrelevant to conservation and that the slogan “hunting is conservation” is a myth. The problem is not just the math. It’s the question they’re answering—and how that answer is being weaponized to argue for an end to hunting. This article is about three things: How wildlife funding actually works What the “94% from non-hunters” study really did Why it’s misleading to use that study to claim hunters “barely” fund wildlife or that hunting isn’t a conservation tool
Why Washington Shouldn’t Send Wolves to Colorado - EVER
Why Washington Shouldn’t Send Wolves to Colorado - EVER
Washington shouldn’t send wolves to Colorado. Ever. Not this year, not “once recovery is done,” not “if we have a few extra.” Because the core problem isn’t biology—it’s how Colorado’s wolf program was created: at the ballot box, driven by politics, not by a clear management need. When Washington even entertains shipping wolves to Colorado, we’re not just moving animals. We’re lending our credibility to a model of ballot-box biology that undermines science-based wildlife management across the West. This matters a lot if you live, hunt, ranch, or recreate in Washington.

A King County Superior Court commissioner granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Oct. 14, 2025, blocking WDFW’s lethal-removal authorization for the Sherman Pack in Ferry County. WDFW documented six confirmed depredations in ten months despite extensive non-lethal deterrents and acted under the Wolf-Livestock Interaction Protocol, which allows lethal removal after 3 depredations in 30 days or 4 in 10 months (with non-lethal efforts documented). A preliminary-injunction hearing is set for Oct. 28, 2025.

Act Now: Keep Science in Bear Management—Stop H.R. 4422
Act Now: Keep Science in Bear Management—Stop H.R. 4422
H.R. 4422 (“Don’t Feed the Bears Act”) in a Nutshell The bill would force every federal land-managing agency to ban “the intentional feeding of bears … to be hunted, a practice known as bear baiting.” Its findings claim bait stations pile “hundreds of pounds of human-scented foods,” make bears more numerous and bolder around people, and are no different from garbage-can attractants in campgrounds. At first glance the language may sound reasonable to some—after all, nobody wants bears rifling through coolers or tearing down tents—but the bill conflates two very different things:

Why California Needs Better Bear Management—And How AB 1038 Can Help
Why California Needs Better Bear Management—And How AB 1038 Can Help
California’s black bears are thriving. In fact, they’re thriving so well that recent estimates by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) show their population may sit between 65,000 and 80,000—nearly double the previously reported figure of 35,000. On paper, this is a conservation success story. But the reality is more complicated. Large, stable wildlife populations only remain healthy when managed within the carrying capacity of their habitats. Right now, California faces a growing imbalance that not only impacts our bears but the broader ecosystem, too.
