We call on Congress to support state management authority, to allow regulation of wolf populations in current wolf states, and in order to protect wildlife populations in adjacent states as wolf populations spread

We call on states to ensure balanced wolf management to maintain and protect wildlife herds.

"Don Peay and the dedicated activists at SFW are doing God's work to restore sanity in the otherwise out of control bureaucracies of government game agencies. I salute them all. The delisting of the wolf is critical for the recovery and safeguarding of our precious big game assets in America."

Don Peay

"It is a travesty to our American system of Government, and the American people, that just ONE, Federal judge, who has never been elected by the people, can overturn ten years of data, tens of millions of dollars in research, the decision by President Bush, the decision of President Obama, the decision by the best wildlife managers in the world, and the bi-partisan decisions made by 4 western states governors, two democrats, Frudenthal of Wyoming and Sweitzer of Montana, and two republicans, Huntsman of Utah and Otter of Idaho. The system is broken. Congress must step in and change effects of the Endangered Species Act, and give the states the right to protect their wildlife and their people. Congress must act now."

"The people of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana don't try and tell the people of Boston and New York how to live their lives or mange their cities. Similarly, the people in big cities in America should not dictate how westerners manage their lands and the wildlife. Every sportsmen I talk to dreams of hunting big game in the west. Without the ability of the western states to manage wolves, our great game herds are disappearing at an alarming rate, and along that disappears the dreams of millions of American Sportsmen. Please join our effort, today."

Winning the ‘Wolf War’ is our only option, if we want to preserve what remains of a decimated population of elk, mule deer, and moose in the Greater Yellowstone Basin and beyond. It must be won in the hearts and minds of the American hunter and in the Halls of Congress…Soon!

It is my hope that every sportsman will join Big Game Forever today, and dig deeply and support the effort with a donation, or in the ongoing email and public opinion battles with the Animal Rights Extremists."

"This is such an important issue to our hunting industry, and to protect our wildlife and our hunting heritage, that we have written a $100,000 check to SFW to allow states to manage wolves and take away the anti-management agenda. SFW is made up of winners, they have accomplished the impossible, time and time again. Failure to manage wolves will cause the loss of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in conservation dollars. We encourage every sportsman to donate today, to save our western game herds and our hunting heritage. SFW has in just one week obtained more than $300,000 in matching funds. We need millions of dollars to win this war."

"My MacMillan River Adventure partner Keith Mark and I are extremely proud of our relationship with Big Game Forever because they are the one organization that recognized the damage that was occurring and the potential total devastation that would occur to our precious wildlife if the wolf issue was not addressed. Then, they had the courage to take the lead in the war to protect and preserve our wildlife and, with the help of sportsmen like me and you, have gained huge victories in Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Wyoming by getting the grey wolf delisted from the Endangered Species List and getting their management back to the state level where it belongs. However, the war is not over. If you are not already in this critical fight, I implore you to join me and thousands of your fellow hunters and sportsmen, by joining Big Game Forever and help us finish the fight in other critical states like Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon and my home state of Texas! Together, we will not be defeated!"

Garth Carter

"At this point in history, proper wolf management is the biggest factor we as sportsmen are dealing with in regards to maintaining healthy big game populations in the West. It is time for us to unite and demand from wildlife agencies and politicians that wolves be properly managed in the states they currently reside in. Decades of intense big game management in the West will be wasted if we do not manage wolf populations. This is literally a “do or die” situation."

"The Western States make up one of the most beautiful and diverse places in the United States with an incredible variety of Wildlife such as Rocky Mountain Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Whitetail Deer, Antelope, American Bison, and Wild Turkeys. Over the past 100 years conservationist and sportsmen have worked together to improve and increase Wildlife diversity in the West with outstanding success. Recently the poor management of wolves in the west and the political limitations imposed that specifically restrict our western state governments ability to manage wildlife is a serious threat that will destroy the vast majority of our past efforts. Anti-hunting efforts remains a strong concern for all wildlife and conservationists, but far more devastating is the un-managed imported Canadian Grey Wolf. Un-managed wolves increase in populations exponentially and destroy other wildlife at an even faster pace. It is vitally important to our western heritage to manage wolves and protect western wildlife diversity and abundance. Please join Big Game Forever and help protect the west from the devastating impact of un-managed Canadian Grey Wolves."
