Welcome to the AK Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers
We are a dedicated group of sportsmen and women who highly value quality backcountry experiences. Our mission is to champion Alaska’s wild public lands, defend backcountry opportunities for hunting, fishing, trapping and exploration in primitive settings, and promote ethical and informed land use decisions.
From the tip of the panhandle to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Alaska boasts over 220 million acres of federal public land and nearly 100 million acres of state land. These vast tracts offer unparalleled opportunities for adventure, challenge, and connection with nature. However, they also present unique and diverse challenges for those committed to preserving our outdoor traditions and the backcountry experience.
As a Chapter, we recognize and value Alaska's uniqueness. Our Chapter Board is dedicated to building strong, diverse coalitions across the state's regions and communities. We aim to continually learn from and engage with our members and supporters statewide. We are committed to maintaining a grassroots, volunteer-based organization that stands up for Alaska's wild public lands, waters, and wildlife.
