We’re there when sportsmen need us most. We are the only organization specifically created to protect the individual hunter, angler and trapper – no matter the threat. We will never compromise when it comes to defending our way of life in the courts, in the legislatures, in the public square, and at the ballot box. We make this promise to the American sportsman: we will never give up and never give in while proudly securing our future against those seeking to destroy our values, beliefs, and traditions.
How We Fight for You
ADVOCACY
We work tirelessly to provide the most complete legal and legislative defense of hunting, fishing, trapping and recreational shooting possible. We do more than just protect your passions in all 50 states, at the ballot box, and in federal and state court, we push to expand and advance them to ensure future generations can enjoy this heritage, too!
RESEARCH
Keeping political leaders, the hunting and firearms industry, and the general public informed of the facts is paramount to protecting our heritage. Whether it’s polling data to defeat an anti-hunting ballot initiative or an economic impact study, we engage in the research necessary to protect sportsmen and successful wildlife management nationwide.
EDUCATION
We educate all sectors of the public and industry on everything from current threats and wildlife management decisions to recruitment and retention of sportsmen. We’ve expanded our reach into schools to educate young Americans on how the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation works and why it’s critical to the future of wildlife and wild places.
