Last year Hike to Hunt was such a thrill for me, I hiked 170 miles and raised over $1,500 for BHA. This year I am going at it even harder! I joined BHA 2 years ago and it has quickly become one of my strongest passions. As an organization, we fight to protect public lands, and the access to those special places where we can adventure. 

Last year, a few buddies and I hiked New Hampshire's presidential traverse in the final weekend of Hike to Hunt. This year, we aim to do all 24 miles in a single day!

Friends and Family,


During these times of the COVID-19 a lot of us have taken to the outdoors to relieve the stresses of the lock down. Whether you've hiked or camped in the Spring Mountain Range, swam, boated, or fished in Lake Mead/Lake Mohave, or ridden ATVs on BLM land you were doing such on public land. So, for the next few weeks I will hiking to fund raise on behalf of Back Country Hunters and Anglers in support of maintaining these lands and waters for all to enjoy for generations to come.

Thank you,

Father of two, Husband, Hunter, Army Vet, Hockey Fan GO KNIGHTS GO!

When I first moved to southern Ohio I moved 12 hours away from my Fiancee and 5 hours away from friends and family. My favorite activity to quell the homesick loneliness was hiking in East Fork State Park. This is a park that has many challenges as people do not treat this park with the utmost respect, as they should. This is often the case with public lands. I know however, for every one bad public land participant there are 10 good ones. BHA has shown me that. 

I am an avid outdoors man that just purchased his first piece of land, I love going to state and federal lands to hike, fish and hunt and I love fighting for those lands as well as the access to them.

I'm fundraising for BHA's Hike To Hunt Challenge 2020 to raise money and awareness for our federally managed public lands & waters, and a vital non-profit organization, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, who work hard to keep these lands and waters in the hands of all American citizens.  I took 2nd place in the first Hike to Hunt Challenge in 2017, when it was just a fundraising challenge.  Got me a sweet Kifaru pack out of it, but the gear is not the point at all.  I've got all the gear I need (not all that I want, but what I need to get the job done)  I'm just glad to be able to raise some coin for BHA and bring awareness of the public land issues in this country to my friends, relatives, coworkers and acquaintances.

Garrett is the Eastern Field manager for the AFI. He grew up in the rural farm country of southern Pennsylvania where he developed his deep passion for all things outdoors. Whether it be hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, etc, he wanted to be involved. After high school, he joined the Marine Corps where he served 26 years as an enlisted Marine and retired as a Master Gunnery Sergeant. He currently lives in Northern Virginia and works as an operations analyst for Katmai Government Services. The outdoors is his passion and enjoys hunting all over the country. Getting into the backcountry is where he feels most at home and loves nothing more than introducing others to the amazing opportunities that await anyone willing to walk the trail into our wild public lands and waters.  

Born and raised in southern York County, Pennsylvania, I participated in hunting in fishing throughout the state with my family on both public and private land. To this day the memories of growing up in a family where everyone hunted are some of the best

This year, I'm dedicating my hikes to my sister, Leah Wilsey, and her daughters, Kaleigh and Paige. Last year, my sister passed away after a long battle with brain cancer leaving my two beautiful nieces in the care of our family. Through these times, my escape into the wild and the times I've spent with my nieces on public lands and waters has been the most helpful and therapeutic way to deal with our family's massive loss. 

Our public lands and waterways are some of the greatest gifts bestowed upon us as Americans and we must continue to protect them for future generations of hunters, anglers, hikers and outdoor adventurers to come. As Doug Duren says, "It's not ours, it's just our turn." My hope is that these places remain for my nieces and their families and generations to come.

BHA has lead the way in the continuing fight to protect these treasures and has brought together people from all walks of life in a common goal: To keep public lands in public hands and the protect them in perpetuity. 

I'm pledging to hike 200 miles with a $1,500 fundraising goal. I also challenge others to get out there and hike! Enjoy the lands and waterways and all of the amazing experiences they provide.

Take the time to explore our public lands. Keep it clean and keep it public.

Conserving our nation's public lands and wildlife is a deeply personal issue for me. I've taken advantage of millions of acres of our public land system, starting at a very young age, through a variety of non-motorized recreational activities. The wildlife present on those lands (from insects to birds to elk) makes the land itself come to life and enriches the experience of anyone fortunate enough venture off the beaten path. Hunters in general and BHA specifically contribute in substantive, meaningful ways to the canservation of wildlife and our public land system, and "Hike to Hunt" is one way in which BHA increases awareness of these issues while raising the much-needed funds to fight for them.

I was fortunate enough to grow up in Northern Nevada and California, where I spent much of my time in the outdoors with my family. Through this, I was able to to create strong bonds with those that I love, while also learning the respect and importance of our wild lands.

After leaving home for the better part of a decade, I returned to find that much of the land in which I grew up hunting had been made private, or had been choked off to public access by private investors, all

of which has resulted in lost opportunities for myself, and thousands of other fathers to bond with and teach their children the importance of our wildlife and ecosystems.

 

Backcountry Hunters Association exists to provide hunters, fishermen and women, and general outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy our public lands with their loved ones.

Obviously, as a member, my primary concern is wildlife conservation. I live in a city where there isn't much hunting activity or opportunities, so I rely on our public lands elsewhere to enjoy that freedom. However, I also live in a region where hiking and general outdoorsing is in abundance, and a common thing for me, is an awesome chance to add a few extra dollars to a Great cause!

Our land is one of the most valuable resources we have and it is under constant threat of being sold to private parties for development. The best way to preserve these resources to guarantee the livelihood of the animals and plants that depend on this habitat is to prevent its destruction in the first place. These lands belong to the public so get out there, enjoy being outdoors, and rediscover what its like to be part of nature!

Spending time outside hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping has given me a new appreciation for the ecosystem we live in. I want to work to ensure that others can share the same experience for generations to come.

Descendant of coal miners, fur trappers, ice fishermen and schoolteachers from Pennsylvania, Katie McKalip grew up with a front row seat to the politicking of Washington, D.C., thanks to her military upbringing. After college in Virginia, she landed in western Montana, where she spends a lot of time outdoors and engages in policy making from a distance. Katie joined the BHA team following a seven-year stint with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, where she led the TRCP’s media outreach and other communications work. She also helped realize founder Jim Range’s vision of the TRCP as an influencer of sportsmen-driven conservation policy and a center point in the outdoors and hunting and angling constituencies. She is actively involved with the boards of the Outdoor Writers Association of America, where she directed communications before moving to the TRCP, and Conservation Hawks, which levies sportsmen’s political muscle to advance effective approaches to climate change. She has an M.S. from the University of Montana and a B.A. from The College of William & Mary. For her master’s thesis, she wrote a manuscript on the history of mining – camps, communities and colorful characters – in the area now known as Rocky Mountain National Park. Married to a Montanan who’s hunted since he was 12, Katie especially enjoys upland hunting with good friends and great dogs, cross country skiing Montana’s hills and river bottoms, and summertime paddles in sun dappled mountain streams, ideally with her two kids in tow.

I support BHA because I feel our public lands are an important part of what makes the US and Canada different from the rest of the world.   My dog and I are either hiking, fly fishing, scouting or hunting on some form of public land almost daily and I am blessed to be surrounded by so much of it.

Well first of all, I like to hike and hunt. But additionally, Americans' public lands are one of our greatest gifts. The right to equal access to these beautiful outdoor spaces should not be taken lightly or thrown away. And as we all know in our bones, and scientific evidence backs up, everybody is better and healthier with nature in their lives!

Also, my toddler sure throws fewer tantrums when we're outside, and that's a benefit for everyone, ha!

Some of you may know that the outdoors is my connection to the world and when I need to clear my mind, I feel at peace outside. I am fundraising in support of public land conservation to ensure that the hunting, trapping, and fishing heritage can be enjoyed for years to come.

J.R. Young was raised in Bellevue Washington. He enjoyed his weekends and summer at a cabin in Central Washington where he started hunting and fishing at an early age. He spent countless days exploring Wenatchee National Forest as well as the Mt. Baker/Snoqualmie National Forest closer to Bellevue. He truly fell in love with the outdoors.

Currently living in The Santa Cruz Mountains in Los Gatos California with his wife, son, dog and chickens, he continues to enjoy the outdoors on a regular basis. At J.R.’s house, most activities surround food, preparing for food, canning food, foraging for food hunting for food and most importantly sharing the experience of food with friends and sometimes complete strangers. J.R. is a man that loves life, and he encourages people to explore that natural world and enjoy what is theirs to enjoy. He holds his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Washington and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Fairfield University in Connecticut. After spending eleven years as a tax accountant he has joined his wife in her Naturopathic Medical Clinic.

I went on an Elk hunt with my son who is a U.S. Marine. The Hardest Greatest thing I have ever done. He started whitetail hunting with me when he was 5 yrs old. Well, as you can imagine now,  I just could not keep up with him. We are planning another trip. This fundraiser is not only for a great cause but also a tool to help me get in better shape. My goal is not to keep up with him but to not make him wait on me quite so much.

Since moving to the western part of the United States two years ago, I have been able to connect with nature in a way that promotes both mental and physical strength.  I can always trust that a trail is going to teach me a lesson, keep me humble and remind me of how small I truly am.  In the world we live in today, I think it is important to have a place where we can feel most at peace and disconnect from the rest of humanity.  Unfortunately, the places that grant me sanity, are being threatened.  Through the Hike to Hunt platform, I hope to do my part in contributing to protecting the wild places I love.  Happy trails!

Howdy folks, my name is Breanne and I reside in the beautiful state of Utah! By day I grow sugarbeets but by night, I live for moments in the backcountry.

As I get older, I have to actually prepare for hunting season or my knees pay the price, especially on those downhill game pack outs! I also worry increasingly about the health of our public lands, from water to soil to habitat to trail maintenance. This cause supports both....saving the knees and supporting public lands! I plan to both hike and run hills to achieve this goal.

I love to hike, hunt, pack, ride, run....as long as it's outside! Even better if any of these things are done with family or friends.

When I first saw BHA's Hike to Hunt I knew it was something I wanted to get behind. Each day our public lands and access to our nations public lands are under attack. BHA's stands with sportsmen and women to protect this amazing asset that each and every American has access to use and enjoy.

I'm fundraising the Hike to Hunt Challenge because I believe in the availability and accessibility of public lands. Federally designated Wilderness areas are as remote as they are beautiful, and make up just a fraction of our public lands. They represent the wildest and untrammeled lands we have left, and should be protected to the fullest extent possible while allowing visitors on foot or stock.

I'm an IT Security guy for the DoD who spends most of his time while not at work in the outdoors. From chasing trout to grouse to foraging I'm in love with it all.

I'm fundraising for this cause because I've had so many opportunities in life made possible by public lands.  Growing up, my family wasn't wealthy so I spent a lot of time hunting PA State Game Lands, state park lands, and private farmland.  As farmland availability diminishes, the need for healthy, publicly accessible land is more important than ever, and this is one way I can do my part so that future generations have the same opportunities to enjoy nature.
