Dan Gates with Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, Charles Whitwam, and Mike Costello with HOWL for Wildlife link up with the Big Hunt Guys while attending the Western Hunt Expo to discuss conservation and the threats to hunting, fishing, and trapping. Over the past few years, there has been an unprecedented rise in anti-hunting sentiment, manifested in unfounded legislation, poor wildlife management policy, and hypocritical leadership. Anti-hunters want hunting to end forever. The group discusses the need for groups like CRWM and HOWL and why they were established. They also discuss the current campaign by animal rights activists to eliminate mountain lion and bobcat hunting in Colorado and how sportsmen can aid in the fight to preserve the traditions and right to hunt and fish. HOWL and CRWM contribute to amplifying that voice of the hunting community! This is a must-listen; becoming aware of the issues and learning how to contribute is more critical than ever. As part of our commitment to support these organizations and the good they contribute, GOHUNT will donate $200 for every member using the CRWM promo code when purchasing an Insider membership.
