KYBHA Opposes Senate Bill 89 – Surrendering Waters of the Commonwealth

Author: Kentucky BHA
Hunters and Anglers must stop Senate Bill 89 (SB89).

As such, SB89 removes Kentucky’s authority to define what waters are within its jurisdictional boundaries, and removes all protections for wetlands, headwaters, and groundwater. TAKE ACTION NOW!

IN BHA HB 1447 - State Management of State Forests

Author: Indiana BHA
“I have read many definitions of what is a conservationist, and written not a few myself, but I suspect that the best one is written not with a pen, but with an axe. It is a matter of what a man thinks about while chopping, or while deciding what to chop. A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke he is writing his signature on the face of his land.” (Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac) In the past, we have written about the importance of science-based forest ...

Freedom & Fire: A Brief BHA History II

Author: David Lien
“Public lands habitat is the Titanic that keeps hunting afloat, but it’s sinking, which is why BHA was formed around a southern Oregon campfire in March 2004.” Freedom and fire were integral to an Army veteran’s idea for a new hunter-angler conservation organization 20 years ago. The human need for freedom and “wild public lands, waters, and wildlife” is the spark that ignited our first (2004) Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) campfire. Over twenty years later that fire still burns bright ...
