By Hunter Nation | March 20, 2026 |

These opportunities play a vital role in wildlife management, habitat protection, and conservation funding. By working alongside state agencies and enforcing strict guidelines, the National Park Service ensures responsible access—proving that conservation and hunting can successfully coexist on our nation’s public lands.

What we are hearing from Hunters about CWD & EHD

By Hunter Nation | January 12, 2026 |

Chronic wasting disease is changing how deer are managed, but hunters are the ones living with its effects every season. From pulling samples to watching herd health firsthand, hunters see the difference between headline-driven fear and what’s actually happening in the woods. Many are concerned about CWD, but they are not united—nor are they walking away from the hunt. At Hunter Nation, we believe effective CWD policy starts with listening to hunters, grounding decisions in honest science, and keeping traditions alive. Hunters are ready to help manage this disease—if they’re treated as partners, not the problem.

2025 Federal Public Land Sale that Hunter Nation Shut Down

By Hunter Nation | July 1, 2025 |

In June 2025, a little-known provision in a massive federal bill put millions of acres of public land at risk of being sold. Hunters, led by Hunter Nation, refused to stay quiet. Through grassroots action, social media pressure, and direct meetings in Washington, D.C., they forced national attention on the issue and pushed lawmakers to respond. When Senator Mike Lee publicly revised—and ultimately withdrew—the land-sale language, it proved a powerful point: organized hunters can stop bad policy before it becomes law. This fight wasn’t about politics; it was about protecting access, heritage, and America’s public lands.

Texas Republican Files Bill to Eliminate Texas Parks and Wildlife. What This Means for Hunting in Texas.

By Hunter Nation | March 28, 2025 |

A newly filed bill in the Texas House is igniting debate across the Lone Star State. House Bill 4938, introduced by Rep. Pat Curry of Waco, would abolish the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and redistribute its responsibilities among three separate agencies. Supporters argue the move could streamline government and ease regulatory burdens on landowners and small businesses, while critics warn it could create confusion and weaken conservation efforts. For Texas hunters, the stakes are high. How wildlife is managed, enforced, and protected could change dramatically, making this proposal one that demands close attention, thoughtful debate, and strong engagement from the sporting community.
