Sign up with BHA on the Military Membership HERE.
- It’s $25 for active duty and veterans in North America, all branches welcome.
- Be sure to choose the military membership: accountability in our military membership is important for reporting and our custom Armed Forces Newsletters that we’ll be sending.
Follow our Social Media platforms for daily communications:
- Digital Platforms:
Spread the Word!
- Let’s make some noise and rally the support in for this one. Sign up, share, like, tag – get eyes on this program!
- This is for North America’s active and veteran military members – seasoned backcountry hunters & anglers, adult onset hunters, and anyone in between. Together we’ll uphold the public land and water and wildlife ethics as a unified voice who want to protect our strong hunting and fishing heritage for the generations to come.
Are you well versed and/or trained in BHA efforts and initiatives while matching the ethos of the BHA? Volunteer to be a leader HERE.
- We are looking for current BHA members that are active or veterans to lead localized grassroots community development, engagement, and empowerment at military installations and high-density areas.
Signed up as a leader? We’d love you to consider hosting a small BHA event:
- We’re always looking for volunteers who are willing to help at or coordinate a night at the shooting range to work on rifles, shotguns, and pistols and talk conservation, build a film tour, storytelling night, pint night, wild game cook-off, etc.
- I want to hear your ideas that intersect exceptionally well with the intersection of the military community and BHA.
- Email us to schedule a time to talk ideas: [email protected] or [email protected]

Help us Grow:

Donate:
- All funds contributed will directly go towards the program’s funding needs. Just make sure you select Armed Forces Initiative in the drop down at processing. The more funding we can get our hands on the more military members we can put in the backcountry, the more advocates for public lands we can create.
