Episode 16 - From the IOTR LIVE Tour: Fighting to Protect Hunting and Fishing Rights Across America

What happens when anti-hunting activists try to criminalize catching a fish or harvesting a deer? This time on Hunt. Fish. Freedom., host Kenia Link sits down with Luke Hilgemann, CEO of the International Order of T. Roosevelt (IOTR), to discuss one of the most critical battles facing outdoorsmen today—the fight to protect the constitutional right to hunt and fish. From the wolf population crisis in Wisconsin to the shocking ballot initiatives in Oregon that could make fishing illegal, this conversation digs deep into the threats to America’s outdoor traditions. Luke shares how his personal lawsuit against the Wisconsin DNR set a precedent for defending hunting rights and how that same framework is being used to push constitutional protection efforts in Ohio, Florida, and beyond. Listeners will learn how legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, and hunter-led conservation can safeguard our way of life for future generations. Whether you’re passionate about waterfowl hunting, big game management, or bass fishing, this episode will remind you why standing in the arena matters. Join the movement to ensure our hunting and fishing heritage is protected—for your kids, and theirs. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app!
