Montana HB 763 - Accessing Public Lands Through Block Management

Montana HB 763 - Accessing Public Lands Through Block Management
Author: Thomas Baumeister
Montana is home to millions of acres of public land, yet much remains out of reach for hunters.

KYBHA Opposes Senate Bill 89 – Surrendering Waters of the Commonwealth

KYBHA Opposes Senate Bill 89 – Surrendering Waters of the Commonwealth
Author: Kentucky BHA
Hunters and Anglers must stop Senate Bill 89 (SB89). SB89 abandons Kentucky’s definition of “Waters of the Commonwealth” contained in KRS 244.1-010, replacing it with the federal definition of “navigable waters” under the Clean Water Act (CWA) 33 U.SC. sec 1362. 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! Senate Bill 89 was filed by Kentucky ...
