In a recent episode, Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host, touched upon a topic close to his heart: wildlife conservation.
Known for his straightforward manner, Rogan expressed a compelling viewpoint, arguing that individuals who express concern for wildlife should match the financial contributions made by hunters.
Hunters consistently fund conservation more than any other group, Rogan explained. He added how hunting licenses and fees provide critical financial support for conservation efforts, contrasting this with the often insufficient funding from those claiming to care about wildlife.
Rogan also highlighted the importance of the Pittman-Robertson Act. This law, passed in 1937, imposed an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. Revenues from this tax go directly toward wildlife conservation and restoration projects across the United States.
Rogan extolled the virtues of the Act, stating, “Wildlife conservation and the preservation of public land for recreational use, hunting, fishing, and camping, is one of the greatest things this country has pioneered.”

His guest, author and former Navy Seal Jack Carr, echoed Rogan’s sentiments. Carr expressed his respect for hunters who, by purchasing licenses and paying excise taxes on hunting equipment, contribute significantly to wildlife preservation.
Rogan’s conversation with Carr reminds us that wildlife conservation is not just about protecting species. It’s about safeguarding our shared public lands and ensuring they remain accessible for a variety of outdoor activities.
By promoting the pivotal role of hunters in wildlife conservation and the significance of the Pittman-Robertson Act, Rogan continues to challenge popular perceptions. His open and engaging discussion highlights the urgent need to secure our wildlife and public lands for future generations.
