Same here in Oregon🤬

California banned mountain lion hunting in 1990, but lions are still being killed. More are being lethally removed today than during the regulated hunting era. The difference is who pays. Hunters no longer buy tags that feed conservation funding. Instead, taxpayer-funded systems handle investigations, agency response, and depredation permits. The cost ranges from roughly $10,000 per lion in one county to over $70,000 on the high end in another county.

Same result, dead lions, completely different economics. What used to be hunters voluntarily spending money into tags, travel, and rural economies has shifted toward publicly funded removals. Whether you support lion hunting or not, that contrast is crazy. If lethal removal still happens anyway, was banning regulated hunting really a conservation win?

“No Birds, No Bird Dog!”Just finished another Chukar Season with 49 days of Dogs on Wild Birds. We would’ve had our usual 50+ days but weather of Severe Rain & Fog interrupted three weeks of Hunting. Now for some STF & Force Breaking of my young Daisy GSP…..she’s going to be a real Doozer too🐾

🚨 $132,000 Judgment for Killing a Hunting Dog 🚨

In September 2023, William Gray of Sumter County, SC, gunned down Annabelle, a hound belonging to Ernest “Burt” Causey.

Burt would rather have his dog back than any amount of money—but this month, a South Carolina judge sent a clear message: if you shoot someone’s dog, you will pay the price.

💰 Civil Court Award
• Value of Annabelle (hound): $22,000
• Punitive Damages: $110,000
👉 Total Judgment: $132,000

The judge noted that Gray’s actions showed a clear disregard for the rights and well-being of others.

⚖️ This case is proof that our hounds are not just “property” — courts are recognizing their real value, and they’re holding people accountable.

📢 If you’ve got a problem with a dog, you call law enforcement. You do not take the law into your own hands.

✊ Stand with us. Protect the hounds. Don’t shoot hunting dogs.

And Oregon is close behind……😭😭😭

Wisconsin Impact

In 2000 Wisconsin hunters harvested over 615,293 Whitetail Deer, in 2023 the deer harvest is currently under 300,000.

248 wolves in 2000 have grown to over 1,000 today that is 300%.
The 2023 fi****ms season was the lowest on record, statewide deer harvest was down nearly 20% from 2022.

2000 thru 2008 - 486,274 Avg Deer Harvest
2009 thru 2023 - 325,225 Avg. Deer Harvest

That is an average of 161,045 (33%) fewer Deer Harvested since Since 2008 when the Wolf population exceeded 550.
