BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 128: Alabama Herpetologist Jimmy Stiles

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Thomas Plank

Prepping for Your First Western Hunt

Author: Garrett Golding

Lessons learned the hard way By Garrett Golding The temperature began to plummet as we parked at the trailhead. By the time we settled at the base of a small fir tree, the north wind was casting waves of snow over the meadow that lay before us. The setting could not have been more perfect, like a painting of what a Colorado elk hunt should look like. I fought back visions of a mature bull stomping out of the tree line ahead of us. And then that’s exactly what happened. How did we get ...

CA Bill SB865 to Increase Junior Hunting License Eligibility

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: California BHA

A junior hunting license offers young people the opportunity to participate in numerous high quality “apprentice” hunting activities offered by DFW and nonprofit wildlife conservation groups. By increasing the age eligibility of a junior license, SB 865 would allow youth to take advantage of these exciting outdoor opportunities for two more years – significantly increasing the likelihood they will become lifelong participants in hunting activities. In addition, by increasing the junior ...

Take Action to Recover and Protect Atlantic Striped Bass

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Chris Borgatti

In early May the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) will convene for their spring meeting, at which time we’re expected to see their Atlantic Striped Bass Board finalize Amendment 7 to the Striped Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Under the current management plan, which was approved in 2003, we’ve observed a historically abundant stock degrade to overfished levels, and little has been done to curb overfishing or reverse this declining trend. To put it simply – management ...

Spring Bear is only the Beginning

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Dan Wilson

Stemming from the appointment of three new commissioners in recent weeks, the Fish and Wildlife Commission voted on March 19 against the Washington spring black bear hunt in a 5-4 decision. The spring bear hunt became an early national flashpoint of anti-hunters opposing fair chase hunting opportunities across the West in 2021. Commissioner justifications for their votes indicate that opportunity and management principles are imperiled under the current commission leadership. The Washington ...

Braised Lynx with Barbeque Sauce

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Jacob Mannix

Lynx are probably most well known for their quality fur, but they also make good table fare. Not many places allow lynx harvest, but if you happen to live in an area where you can (Alaska does ... always check the regs first, of course), I’d encourage you to keep the meat. It’s very mild flavor makes it suitable for many dishes: roasts, stews, sausages or, in this case, braised. This recipe allows works well with mountain lion and a variety of other wild game. I like braised meat because ...

Full Circle

Author: Nicole Bealer

Collegiate club scholarship recipient goes from beginner hunter to mentor for others through BHA’s R3 work. By Nicole Bealer I grew up in the suburbs of north Houston, far away from the Montana culture of field-to-table harvest in which I am now immersed. Though I loved wildlife and the outdoors, I did not come from a hunting family and was never exposed to the idea of fair-chase hunting on public lands. A burgeoning career in wildlife biology brought me to the Rockies, studying ...
