The Alliance
Wyoming Hunters and Anglers Alliance is Wyoming’s local sportsmen’s and women’s advocacy group.
Powered by members, the Alliance promotes the conservation of Wyoming’s wildlife, the protection of sportsmen’s access,
and the defence of public lands that belong to everyone.
Our Issues
Defending our Public Lands
Politicians and private interests are scheming to seize public lands from the federal government and put them under state ownership. Not only would states take over the lands, but they could sell off the lands due to lack of management resources. This is unacceptable – not only do we hunt and fish on public lands, but they are where we grew up and learned the lessons that make us who we are today. Our heritage is not for sale.
Keeping Migrations Open for Wildlife
New research shows that migration corridors are essential for the survival of Wyoming’s mule deer, pronghorn, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep herds. Research can also precisely define the important big game corridors, bottlenecks and stopover areas across the state, providing clear strategies for protecting these big game herds with minimal impacts to development. Wyoming must protect these key corridors and adjacent habitats and fund more research to further identify their locations.
Funding for Game and Fish
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department works tirelessly to apprehend poachers, negotiate sportsmen access, monitor wildlife habitat and health, and conduct research to better understand how to maintain our amazing Wyoming wildlife. Because the department provides us with world-class hunting and fishing opportunities, it’s important that we stand up for them to ensure these opportunities continue.
Protecting Wyoming’s Water
Wyoming’s scarce water resources should be respected by all users. Wyoming should ensure that its water is used efficiently, and that wild and native fisheries have the water they need to preserve their habitat. Landowners should be able to keep their water rights even when they use them to maintain and improve fisheries.
Take Action
It’s no longer enough for corporations to exploit our public lands; now they want to own them. Join us in the fight to keep public lands public, ensure they are well-managed to support wildlife needs, and protect access for everyone. Tell us how you’d best like to make your voice heard by our elected officials, and don’t forget to sign the WYHAA pledge to keep public lands in public hands.
Take the Wyoming Hunters and Anglers Pledge
As a Hunter and Angler in the great state of Wyoming, I pledge the following:
Stand up for public lands and keep them in public hands
Support candidates who say no to the public lands seizure movement
Ensure every Wyomingite, and every American has the right to enter freely upon Wyoming’s public lands and work to increase access for sportsmen and women
