About WildLife Partners, LLC
WildLife Partners has developed the most innovative conservation program to have ever been implemented. By marrying conservation with a capitalistic approach, we have attracted millions of dollars of investment capital. The investment is directed specifically towards breeding sustainable populations of threatened and endangered wildlife from all over the world. Because these animals have value as living creatures and can easily be sold to other conservation minded people, there is a seeming unending market for them. Breeding these animals can be highly profitable while simultaneously giving participants an emotional gratification that they are protecting wildlife that likely won’t exist in the future without programs like ours.

As President and CEO of Hunter Nation and HN Foundation, Luke helped build and execute a strategic plan to help this new organization grow its membership to nearly 30,000 in one year while simultaneously building a world class team focused on protecting God, Family, Country and our Hunting Heritage. Hunter Nation Foundation was also formed with a vision of activating hunters to vote their values on a more consistent basis. HN Foundation launched the “Hunt the Vote” initiative in early May with the goal of identifying, persuading, and activating 500,000 hunters in priority states who have not voted in the last two election cycles to vote their values and protect our hunting lifestyle in 2020 and beyond. 

A Wisconsin native, Hilgemann has spent his life fighting for limited government and personal freedom. Before joining AFP, he did that work through a number of roles in the Wisconsin legislature, working his way to Chief of Staff for the State Assembly’s Majority Leader. Luke currently resides in Wisconsin with his wife Jayme and their three children. In his spare time, Luke enjoys hunting, fishing, and passing on the outdoor heritage on to his kids.

HOUSTON, TX- Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) applauds the U.S. House of Representatives Passage of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R.3742) as an amendment to the Moving Forward Act.

With passage out of the House of the Moving Forward Act, which includes the bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R.3742), legislation has now moved forward to help create over 33,000 new jobs annually, supporting future economic growth in the outdoor recreation sector through infrastructure improvements, and help fund improvements for imperiled species and their habitats. The $1.4 billion annual investment from the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would lead to an additional $3.36 billion of economic output, a net positive gain of $1.96 billion to the Gross Domestic Product and direct much needed funding towards restoring habitats and species and rebuilding both natural and recreational infrastructure in urban and rural communities.
