Hunting
The conservation movement in Tennessee and across the U.S. was started largely by hunters who saw that fish and wildlife in our nation were reaching a breaking point. Today, hunting continues to be the primary way conservation is funded. But hunters’ numbers are falling.
By protecting hunting traditions and Tennesseans’ access to hunting opportunities, we can protect the funding that makes wildlife conservation possible, for game and nongame species.
Take Action on Hunting Issues

Learn About CWD and How to Stop It
CWD is a threat to Tennessee’s deer populations and the conservation funding they generate.

Request Better Conservation Funding
The current funding model has reached its limit. New leadership for adequate conservation funding is needed.

Stop Selling and Transferring Public Lands
Your national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, wildlife management areas, and other public lands are at risk.
