The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) has fired a public relations shot against the anti-hunting group Defenders of Wildlife stating that it is a party to “one of the worst wildlife management disasters since the destruction of bison herds in the 19th Century.” This comes amidst continuing policy battles over the listing of both the Northern Rocky Mountain and the Western Great Lakes wolf populations on the Endangered Species List.
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA), the nation’s leader in defending your rights to hunt, fish and trap, has created a contest to recognize America’s successful turkey hunters. To enter, submit a photo of your turkey taken during the 2010 spring turkey hunting season along with a $5.00 entry fee.

REGIONAL BREAKDOWN OF FIREARM SALES . . . Where you live says a lot about what types of firearms you prefer, the latest data from the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) shows.

For over 30 years the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has been defending sportsmen’s rights and their record of success speaks for itself. But as they always say: “we couldn’t do it without your commitment.” YOU are the reason we win battles against radical animal rights groups like PETA and the Humane Society of the United [...]
