The Armed Forces Initiative is the BHA program focused on creating conservationists within the military community. Robert Land is the AFI State Liaison for Oklahoma BHA and is hosting a learn-to-waterfowl hunt event brought to you by veteran-owned G&H decoys.
A Dual Skills camp is a learn-to-hunt event where attendees will be mentored through a hunting experience from the planning phase through the post-harvest meal prep. BHA Mentors will host attendees in the field talking through the ins and outs of waterfowl hunting. After the hunt a regional expert will walk participants through how hunting affects conservation in OK, what is the North American model of conservation, and how participants can use their voice as members of the military community to support BHA's conservation mission. Also included in this event is a tour of the G&H decoy manufacturing plant including decoys for each participant to take home for continued use in the field.
