Dear Cabela’s Customer:

Occasionally, an issue of such importance arises we feel it necessary to contact our loyal customers. With our fishing rights at stake, this is such an issue.

On August 23, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was petitioned by the Center for Biological Diversity and others to ban lead from ammunition and fishing tackle, including sinkers, jigs, weighted fly lines and components containing lead, such as brass and ballast in lures, spinners, stick baits and other fishing products.

On August 27, the EPA denied the petition regarding ammunition, but let stand the petition to ban lead in fishing tackle and has opened a short period for taking public comment.

Such a ban would cause prices of fishing products to skyrocket. Alternative metals can cost from six to 15 times more than lead, and most do not perform as well. For many, fishing would no longer be the affordable sport it is now.

Please join Cabela’s and Keep America Fishing in opposing this ban by submitting your comments to the EPA no later than September 15, 2010. You can easily do so by clicking here:

It is a fast and easy way to assure your opinion is heard.

Cabela’s is working in conjunction with the American Sportfishing Association and Keep America Fishing to protect our tradition and heritage of fishing.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

We are urging everyone who reads this to please take action and to tell everyone you know to also take action. Our rights are in serious threat right now and we must stand up against the anti’s and take action and let our voices be heard.

Judge Donald W. Molloy put grizzlies in Montana on the endangered species list back in 2009 which is now being appealed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This appeal and it’s outcome is very important and may decide how difficult it will be in the future to delist animals once they’re put on the endangered species list.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services have stated that the grizzlies have surpassed their recovery goals but anti-hunting groups are fighting to keep grizzlies on the endangered species list.

The current grizzly population in Yellowstone is at 600. Many biologist believe that the grizzly population is oversaturated. The target recovery goal was 400-500 bears.

Wolf Petition -

We will call on Congress to:
1. Immediately and permanently delist wolves in America.
2. Place a stop on further wolf reintroductions.

We will call on the Western States to:
1. Immediately reduce wolf numbers to the levels that were originally agreed upon in reintroduction areas.
2. Manage wolves in states that were never supposed to have wolves reintroduced into them and address the serious threat and disappearance of our big game animals.
