**
Details - 8am, Friday April 11th, AZGFD Headquarters, 5000 W Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ - agenda here
Item for action - The Commission will consider 2 petitions from Center for Biological Diversity and other activist organizations seeking to 1) remove a pursuit only season for bears, lions, and raccoons from the list of tools that the Commission and Department can use, and 2) remove dogs as an allowed method of take for beard, lions, rabbits, tree squirrels, predators, and fur-bearers
NOTE: The petitions being on the agenda do not reflect support for them by the Department or the Commission.
What You Can Do -
Show the Commission that we support their reliance on science the the Department’s professionals in managing wildlife for us.
Show the anti-hunting crowd that we are watching them and we are ready for their fight
Show that regardless of the anti-hunting attacks on specific areas of hunting, all types of hunters will come to the fight. Although many of us don’t hunt with hounds, we are all willing to stand up to defend this type of pursuit.
Turnout to: Speak to the commission with a brief 1 minute statement thanking them for what they do, and supporting their inevitable decision not to alter our current hunting regulations.

Call for Wolf Mgmt Plan Updates - It's time to lead!
Monday Mar 24, 2025
Monday Mar 24, 2025
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/cawolfplan
HOWL with us. HOWL as one. When we HOWL - our voices are amplified, our message is heard and we can be effective. When we HOWL we can lead dialogue and create positive outcomes that value entire ecosystems, human communities, and wildlife.
Sign on to the HOWL letter today. Take Action here --> https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action
Complaining isn't working. It's time to lead... It is time to call upon the California Dept of Fish & Wildlife, and the Fish & Game Commission to refresh the 10-year old Wolf Mgmt. Plan, establish a practical and sustainable roadmap to delisting and long-term management of wolves. It is time to identify the risks that subsidized wolves present to human communities, the economy of California and all taxpayers, and to ecosystems wherever wolves live. It is time for the CDFW to present a realistic report on the health of our mule deer, elk and antelope herds in CA, and how do those herds support 3 unmanaged apex predators sustainably?
Sign on to the HOWL letter today. Take Action. Call upon the Commission and CDFW to proactively lead California out of this crisis. https://www.howlforwildlife.org/cawolfplan

Bold Nationwide Call: bringing hounds to the bear woods of California!
Tuesday Mar 11, 2025
Tuesday Mar 11, 2025
AB1038 brings hounds back to the bear woods in CA, and it gives the Commission and Dept the tools needed for effective black bear management, increased harvest where warranted and more effective conflict reduction.
This is a nationwide call to action - because a win in California is a win for everyone! Time to step in and help here... this will be a long campaign where we are approaching the 2nd gate, of about 7 if we are to take this all the way.
Every inch of progress is a win, and gets us closer to the next steps for improved wildlife management in California.

Amplify our messaging, make advocacy work - Take Action with HOWL. https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action
Shelina Moreda rallied a community of farmers, ranchers and local food advocates to beat Measure J in Sonoma County. She helped develop the messaging, the values statements and the strategy to steer this Northern California community away from a terrible anti-livestock, anti-ranching initiative. We dig in to find that the attacks on ranchers, land stewards and hunters are frequently very similar, possibly coming from the same socially disruptive NGOs.
Food & Family Farms - IG @ https://www.instagram.com/foodandfamilyfarms
Food & Family Farms - Online @ https://foodandfamilyfarms.com
It's time for hunters, conservationists, ranchers and land stewards to reject the ideological and extreme attacks on our connection to the land, and our contribution to wildlife and ecosystems. Hunting is human, humans are nature.

(RELOAD) The HOWL Vision & Strategy, with Jana Waller and John Bair
Friday Feb 28, 2025
Friday Feb 28, 2025
The HOWL PACK is calling... Join us! https://www.howlforwildlife.org/
Jana Waller & John Bair are as deeply connected to hunting, conservation and wildlife policy as anybody we know. They've both served on the state level wildlife boards or commissions, they produce incredible hunting stories and help raise MILLION$ for habitat, conservation and wildlife.
John & Jana were major boosters during the fight to protect mountain lion hunting in Colorado in 2024, and they share a love of bears (and bear hunting) that we have here at HOWL for Wildlife. They amplify the messages that land well with non-hunters and appear to love their role as ambassadors and leaders.
Look Jana & John up, give them a follow... and join them as part of the HOWL PACK.
Lastly - to learn more about the vision and strategy that HOWL is investing in... watch our "TED Talk"

End Colorado Wolf Reintroduction, with Smart Wolf Policy
Saturday Feb 22, 2025
Saturday Feb 22, 2025
Put an expiration date on the Wolf Reintroduction in Colorado: https://www.smartwolfpolicyco.com/
Can you love wolves, and still seek to end the forced importation of wolves to CO? Yes.
Can you be pro-livestock, and still acknowledge that wolves (living w/in wild ecosystems) can have a place on the landscape? Yes.
Wolf "reintroduction" was a charismatic but fictional vision that compelled Colorado voters to narrowly choose to forcibly import wolves from 1000s of miles away. These wolves could not be relocated to Federal land, deep in the National Forests where you might expect. Instead, the relocations landed wolves (with a pre-existing record of preying on livestock) into habitat very close to the heart of Colorado's cattle rangelands.
The result of this voter-approved experiment: social tension, tremendous cost overruns, and wolves, livestock and food producers being treated terribly.
How to help??

The Time is now
We can no longer sit idly by and hope for things to change. The time to invest, conserve, protect and restore our nation’s landscapes and wildlife is now. Hunters and anglers who appreciate and participate in outdoor activities must make a commitment to be active and not let it be destroyed or taken away. It is critical for ardent conservationists, hunters, anglers, and outdoor lovers to express their concerns to their elected officials about government actions that affect fish, animals, and their habitat.
