Making it Worse

Dear Supporter,

In the last 15 years, over 50% of the elk have disappeared from Idaho’s Wilderness areas. Montana and Wyoming are seeing similar trends. Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota are also experiencing major impacts from wolves.  One fact has become clear, unregulated wolf populations are very destructive to America’s wildlife.

US Fish and Wildlife Service should be finding every way possible to help these states protect and recover wildlife herds. After all, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming hold 35% of America’s elk.

Instead, the White House is trying to spread destruction of wildlife to many more states.   New plans by US Fish and Wildlife Service would spread unregulated wolves to 97.5% of America’s elk, based on official documents obtained by Big Game Forever.  One anti-hunting group is promising its members 1,000 wolves in Colorado alone.

We cannot let this happen.  With critical deadlines fast approaching on these dangerous plans, we need your help.

Simply let 10 of you friends know about this and ask them to sign the petition at http://biggameforever.org. Not only is this a petition, but it allows sportsmen to answer the call to protect America's wildlife when our help is needed.  If you haven’t already signed the petition, please do so now by visiting http://biggameforever.org. It only takes 30 seconds.  Our goal is 100,000 sportsmen who have signed the petition. With over 12,000 signatures so far, at 10 referrals each, we could get there in short order. 

We are just scratching the surface. With 65 million American sportsmen, we can win the fight to protect America’s wildlife.

Thank You,

Ryan Benson

Founder, Big Game Forever
