FROM THE LEADERSHIP
T
he Sportsmen’s Alliance and its Foundation have protected hunting, fishing and trapping
for more than four decades now. We’ve defended the sportsmen’s community from legal,
legislative and ballot-box attacks that would have decimated hunting, public lands, wildlife
management and conservation in the process.
In 2019, we saw more legislative attacks than ever, and they took place in every region of the
country – from the deep South to the far West, few states were spared. Luckily, we were able to stop
most of these attacks before they were enacted – some before they even reached public comment.
Those successes are due to you, our supporters, members and donors. It is you who helps apply
political pressure when legislation threatens to undo 100 years of scientific wildlife management, it is
you who supports our efforts through memberships and donations. Without this support, we wouldn’t
be able to fight in federal and state court or at the ballot box when animal-rights organizations
attempt to mislead the general public about hunting.
As you’ll see in this report, with your backing, we …
• Fight for scientific wildlife management, including predator management in state and federal
court, so that ungulate herds remain healthy and stable
• Rebuffed attempts to stop incentivized hunting of coyotes in multiple states; bills so broadly
written that they would ban canine field trials and even youth squirrel hunts
• Joined forces with our partners to stand strong for the Second Amendment

We did all this, and more, because of YOUR support. Thank you. We take our mission and your
donations seriously, and always strive to be as efficient as possible. You’ll see that more than 80% of
every dollar goes directly to our programming – because that’s where it’s most effective and will do
the best to protect your passions for future generations.
The people and organizations dedicated to ending your way of life, and the most successful model of
conservation in history, are well funded. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to wage
political, legislative, social and media warfare. We will stand in their way and, with your help, we will
repel that vocal minority that misrepresents hunting and wildlife management.
Thank you, again, for your continued support and for supporting scientific wildlife management.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Dan Conner
