Hunting organizations and sportsman's clubs should be natural allies in the fight to get Constitutional Carry. However many of them seem to have the sightsighted attitude "why should I care, I don't have a handgun."
Shortsighted because 11% of the cost of firearms, including handguns and handgun ammo helps them out through the Pittman-Robertson Act. That's $55 on a $500 handgun, $5 on a couple boxes of handgun ammo.

Constitutional Carry, by creating tens of thousands, if not several hundred thousands of concerned gun owners, will strengthen the fight against restrictions on firearms, including those commonly used for hunting.
As Attorney General Doyle in 2001 tried to limit Wisconsin citizens to essentially a single shot firearms. This was AFTER the Wisconsin Constitution was amended in 1998 giving citizens the “right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation and any other lawful purpose.” All it would have taken to get it in effect is passage through a legislature controlled by a governor who dispises the right to bear firearms and a supreme court that agrees that the law is "reasonable" as a way to stop terriorists.

btw: The DNR now can limit hunters to single shot firearms by regulation. Scenario: "Due to depletion of the deer herd only muzzle loaders without scopes will be permitted for this year's deer hunt ....er.. harvest."
