Action Alert: Please Call & Message Sen. Baldwin Today!

WBHA Members,

The gray wolf recovery stands as one of the greatest success stories in American conservation history. However, this magnificent animal is now being used as a political pawn, causing harm to wildlife and threatening our hunting lifestyle in many states. The answer to this problem is straightforward: Senator Tammy Baldwin has the power to request that Chuck Schumer pass the wolf delisting bill currently awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.

We need your help today (September 19). It’s time to make our voices heard and protect the balance of our ecosystems and our hunting heritage. We urge you to reach out and demand the immediate delisting of the gray wolf.

Take Action Now (9/19):
Please call and message Senator Baldwin and express your support for the wolf delisting bill:

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (WI): (202) 224-5653 and by web message

Messaging Guide:

"Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen and a hunter from [Your City/State]. I am calling to urge Senator [Tammy Baldwin & Chuck Schumer] to support the immediate delisting of the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act."

"Wolves have had a significant negative impact on our deer hunting and continue slaughtering our livestock and pets, with a growing concern that children could be next."

Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin may ultimately cast the deciding vote. We're asking you to reach out to her and let her know that as a Wisconsin hunter, this is an important issue to you and your family. Let her know that Wisconsin had the lowest gun hunting deer harvest in recorded history, in 2023, due to the unmanaged wolf population. Confirmed wolf kills on livestock and pets were up 40% in 2023. Wisconsin DNR reports within the 2019-2024 period there have been over 600 Depredations (kills) (67% Confirmed Wolf, 90% Likely Wolf) and another 100 Wolf Threats. Over 5,000 animals were negatively impacted by wolves during the last 5 years.

Tell her any negative personal experiences you have had with your livestock, pets or children because of the exploding wolf population. Also, let her know that you are aware she is up for reelection in November and that you will be voting in that election. You can reach her at her Senate office at 202-224-5653 and send her a web message today. Tell her that the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association asked you to call!
