Laramy "Sasquatch" Miller: Intimate and Traditional

An insightful and inspiring conversation with Laramy! Listen in to get the backstory of his "Sasquatch" nickname... it goes beyond his incredible 6'7" frame and 270# mass.  He's a traditional hunter with the heart and soul of an 1800s mountain man. For Laramy, traditional hunting provides an intimate experience that requires a deep connection to the woods, ecosystem and wildlife. Laramy's approach to hunting completely destroys the anti-hunting propaganda... which we dig into.  Laramy is committed to supporting hunting and the opportunity for all of us to get into the woods where critters thrive and ecosystems stay balanced and healthy, because we hunt!

Iron Will Bill: History of Bowhunting, and Saving the Hunt in Colorado

While wandering the Outdoorsman's Days expo area here in Florence CO today, the shiny single bevel broadheads from IRON WILL caught my attention, and then the "history of bowhunting" t-shirt & related backstory is what really pulled me in. This shirt is easy to love as it simply and elegantly conveys the true story that from days of antiquity to current modernity... hunting has been an intrinsically human activity. 
Listen in to this quick conversation with Iron Will Outfitters founder and innovator, Bill Vanderheyden, then jump over to IronWillOutfitters.com to grab yourself one of these t-shirts. You'll love the shirt, and the message it carries will convey a very important pro-hunting message to people who see it. Lastly, you'll be supporting CRWM and SAVETHEHUNTCOLORADO, which is critically needed to win against threats of ballot-box biology!

Hunting the Ocean at Risk? Preservationists & special interests threaten coastal harvest.

Imagine having 40% of the public land in your state closed to hunt/harvest of ALL species, regardless of wildlife abundance and ecosystem health!!  Proposals on par with this are being considered and promoted for California's coastal waters.
"Hunting the Ocean" can mean many things... pier fishing, spear fishing, free diving for spiny lobster, crabbing, shore fishing, angling from a boat or kayak, and many more things!  One thing is certain... even with the most regulated coastal fisheries in the world, the opportunity for individuals to access and enjoy the hunt in coastal California waters is under attack. 
Listen in to this episode of Matt Bond (allwaters.org) and Devin O'dea (Backcountry Hunters and Anglers) explain the convoluted path and petition process which could disenfranchise subsistence anglers, eliminate adaptive management in complex ecosystems. You'll hear the connection between these closures and billion $$ organizations that will continue to have priority access for their use and purpose, while individuals are pushed out. 
Tap into the links and resources below to continue following, and take action by using the HOWL for Wildlife Letter to the Editor tool, send comments to the Fish & Game Commission (email).  Join HOWL to stay informed and ready when we deploy our Action Center and pull the Hunting and Angling communities together in this fight.

Wyoming, Wolves and New Laws: leading from the front with Wyoming Wildlife Federation

Let's grow the HOWL Pack... Please share.
Go to HOWL for Wildlife Action Center to read and sign on to our HOWL Pack letter regarding the unacceptable behavior this podcast focuses on. 
Hunters and the hunting community, via the Wyoming Wildlife Federation, are playing a key role in guiding new legislation in WY which will (1) identify (2) punish and (3) deter the wildly cruel and bizarre conduct that all of us were offended by.  
This incident has directly, negatively impacted the entire hunting community in North America this year.  The anti-hunting  industry made this behavior it's front page leading story when talking about hunting, including completely unrelated and highly regulated, legal and ethical mtn lion hunting in CO.  
Listen in to this conversation as Jess Johnson (Wy Wildlife Fed.) unpacks the process and progress taking place in WY, with bi-partisan efforts to finely tune the laws there, while absolutely ensuring protection and support for hunting, predator mgmt., trapping, and conservation.

Pro-active and non-toxic w/ Micah Dungey @ Institute for Wildlife Studies

Was the non-lead ammo movement hatched by hunters, for wildlife... and is this still a controversial topic? 
In this call Micah Dungey (Institute for Wildlife Studies) gives us a light but informative background on the non-lead ammo movement. Why were California condors at the center of the non-lead ammo movement? We get into some of the controversy, the science and the opportunity for hunters to be the leading voices, and to be the market movers when it comes to wildlife and ecosystem issues. 
This conversation helped up our level of knowledge on the non-lead topic, and really drives home the idea that as hunters we have the opportunity to leaders with proactive work. Enjoy the chat, soak up some new information and let's rally to set the tone, define the path for protecting hunting, trapping and angling opportunity.

Colorado Update - OUR PATH to Victory against the Anti-Hunting Initiative!

In this conversation (7/8/24) Dan Gates from Coloradan's for Responsible Wildlife Management gives us the straight scoop on anti-hunting Initiative 91 in Colorado. Petitions have been submitted to the Sec. of State and the anti-hunting extremists believe they might have enough signatures validated to put this on the ballot in November. 
As hunters and wildlife advocates - we MUST prevail. Balanced ecosystems and diverse populations of critters rely on regulated hunting, including the sustainable harvest of mountain lions in Colorado.  
We must prevail, and we can prevail. Funding SAVE-THE-HUNT-COLORADO is the number 1 thing we can do to prioritize and protect science based wildlife mgmt. and the right to hunt abundant populations of wildlife.
Finally... membership makes the world go round and we're excited to reward a HOWL PACK member with a uniquely awesome MEATEATER Experience! On Aug. 10th HOWL and MEATEATER will pick one of our members to go on a Louisiana fishing excursion. You have to be a member for a chance to win... Click through to HOWL and put your name in the hat for this incredible opportunity! 
Finally... expand the reach of CRWM, HOWL and the messages that support hunting by sharing the stories and images that help everyone understand the value of hunting. "Like, comment and share" are truly powerful actions you can take to inform and educate the non-hunting voters in every community.

Max Fennell, discovering ancestral roots, hunting heritage and Diesel the Donkey!

"Anti-hunting is colonialism" Max Fennell said this back in 2021, and more people are saying it now. 
Max is an "adult onset hunter" here in California, who is discovering and connecting with his ancestry while also getting closer to the land, nature and sustenance through wild game. He's an entrepreneur, former professional triathlete. Max exemplifies the diversity of age, experience, ethnicity, inspiration and ancestry that can be found throughout North America... and his stories and experiences highlight the fact that Hunting Is Human.

Silencer Central - ATF Approval Speed and Millions $$$ for Conservation?

Brandon Maddox (CEO @ Silencer Central) breaks down the why, the how, and the "what's next" of silencers (suppressors) here in the US.  Silencer Central has created value for all hunters and gun owners by introducing processes that make ATF silencer approvals faster than ever imagined. They're also generous with donations to the conservation orgs that do so much for hunting and wildlife nationwide. 
What's amazing though?? The work that Silencer Central is leading could inject millions $$ into conservation and wildlife funding via Pittman Robertson!  Listen and get ready to throw YOUR support behind this massive infusion of new funding that we can all get behind.

Colorado Hunting Ban - 5 Minutes with Dan / CRWM Update

SAVE THE HUNT COLORADO - Donate today!  
SAVE THE HUNT COLORADO - Buy the official commemorative Dan Gates t-shirt! 
The long & short of it... funding for CRWM from the grassroots hunting community is 100% the most necessary component to SAVETHEHUNTCOLORADO!  We are all Colorado hunters ~ in spirit, past, present and future. 
If the hunting ban in CO is successful in the November election, ALL HUNTERS in the US will feel a negative impact.  If the hunting ban in CO is successful in the next 5 weeks and gets the signatures needed to go on the ballot, the costs to fight this will be several times more $$ than ever raised for a defense of hunting. 
Bottom line: we are in the final stretch of this battle where we have the chance to PREVENT the attack on hunting in CO from getting on the ballot. Funding today does 3 things. (1) we fuel the "decline to sign" campaign and (2) we fund the fight to win in November.  3rd... we fund CRWM for the continuing and necessary defense of the North American Model of Conservation in CO! 
Spread the word... share this call to action. 
Follow CRWM... stay informed and stay in the fight. 
Follow HOWL for Wildlife... to take action, support hunters and hunting.
