Thoughts on Wilderness from a Logger, Outfitter and Business Owner

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Caitlin Thompson

The following was written by BHA's Washington Coordinator, Matt Scott, a logger, outfitter and small business owner whose family's traditions and inspirations depend on the wilderness escape. Is Wilderness a bad thing? I’ve spent my professional life working my tail off to get the time and money needed to spend as much time in the wilderness as I could. Wilderness has given me much more than the opportunity to hunt and fish, it has given me and my family a place to reflect and get away from ...

BHA Supports the "HUNT Act"

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Tim Brass

Ensuring a future with free, public hunting and fishing access is central to Backcountry Hunters & Anglers work and mission. So we were glad to hear about a recent effort to improve the level of freedom that sportsmen enjoy, by providing access to “locked-up” public lands – lands that are held by the public, but which the public cannot use. “The HUNT Act” (The Hunt Unrestricted on our National Treasures Act) is legislation aimed at opening access to “locked-up” public lands, where private ...

Ice, Sweat and Ducks

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Brad Brooks

By Idaho Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Member, Brad Brooks. Brad lives in Boise Idaho and waterfowl hunts the Snake River Basin when he is not hunting big game. For a masochist like me there is something strangely appealing about waterfowl hunting in cold weather. To me, hunting is about getting away from the crowds and enjoying the peace and solitude of the hunt, which often requires enduring pain and discomfort that others are often unwilling to subject themselves to, for good reason.
