Hunter Nation Wisconsin State Director, Chris Vaughan, testified

Hunter Nation Wisconsin State Director, Chris Vaughan, testified before the Wisconsin Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Sporting Heritage, arguing for a science-based wolf

management plan rather than an unchecked protection policy.

  • Testimony in opposition to CR 23-047 called for a statewide wolf population goal and a defined harvest quota to ensure responsible conservation.
  • Despite anticipated legislative approval, Governor Tony Evers is expected to veto any pro-hunting amendments, making continued advocacy critical.

 

In recent legislative hearings, anti-hunting activists dominated the discussion, highlighting the need for more hunter involvement. By standing against this flawed proposal, Hunter Nation aimed to protect Wisconsin’s wildlife management practices from being dictated by political influence rather than sound conservation principles.
