Packrafting with Alpacka's Thor Tingey Presented by Alpacka

Monday, June 1, 6PM MDT

Packrafts are the ultimate access tool for hard to reach wilderness waterways. Whether you’re interested in packraft hunting or want to access new waterways for fishing, packrafts are incredible tools for backcountry missions.

Join Thor Tingey, CEO & Co-Owner of Alpacka Raft, for a discussion on how packrafts are used to help you go further and deeper into the backcountry, accessing places you never thought you could. Whether you’re a solo hunter or angler, or regularly hunt or fish with buddies, packrafts are an extremely-lightweight solution for making backcountry manageable.

In addition to redefining access, Thor will give a demonstration on how to properly pack a big game animal in a packraft for an efficient packout.

Thor Tingey has been packrafting for over 20 years. Growing up Denali Park, Alaska, Thor spent his childhood immersed in the outdoors. In 1996, after meeting Roman Dial, who had become one of Alaska’s most prolific adventurers and an early adopter of the packraft, Thor planned his first packrafting trip, a 160-mile portion of an Alaska Range traverse. This trip was the foundation for the launch of Alpacka Raft. Thor is an avid hunter and angler who has been using packrafts for backcountry access for years.

How Predation Shapes Wild Nature on Public Lands: Lessons from Yellowstone with Dr. Daniel R. Stahler Presented by Stanley

Thursday, June 4, 6PM MDT

Our public wild lands have long been paramount to numerous conservation success stories. Among the most successful, but controversial, has been the recovery of large carnivores in a world increasingly hostile to the survival of all wildlife. We now live in a new era of carnivores on public lands, challenging society to adapt and seek compromise among diverse public lands stakeholders. Paramount to overcoming these challenges is an understanding of the ecology of predation and its implications for coexistence with large carnivores. Twenty-five years ago, wolf recovery to Yellowstone National Park coincided with the continued expansion of a naturally recolonized cougar population, increasing grizzly bear numbers and an abundant elk population shaped by a long history of human management. This seminar will summarize key findings from several decades of scientific research on wolves, cougars, elk and other species in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Topics will include behavioral interactions of predators and their prey, how elk and other species have responded to carnivore recovery and the importance of public lands in preserving natural ecological processes and, ultimately, wild nature. The seminar will discuss lessons from Yellowstone that highlight the value of science to provide accurate information, identify knowledge gaps and dispel myths about controversial issues relating to predators and their prey.

Dr. Daniel R. Stahler is a wildlife biologist for Yellowstone National Park. He’s served as the project biologist for the Yellowstone Wolf Project since 2002, is the project leader for the Yellowstone Cougar Project and co-leads Yellowstone’s elk research program. He also serves as the park’s threatened and endangered species coordinator. Stahler is responsible for coordinating much of Yellowstone’s multi-carnivore and multi-ungulate research programs. He has produced numerous scientific publications on predator-prey dynamics, behavior, genetics and ecology of Yellowstone and is an editor and lead author of the forthcoming book Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park (University of Chicago Press, October 2020) chronicling 25 years of carnivore recovery to Yellowstone National Park. Dan devotes as much time as possible immersed in wilderness as a hunter, fisherman, biologist and explorer. He lives with his wife and son in Gardiner, Montana.

The Wild Harvest Initiative® - Eat Wild & Live Free, with Shane Mahoney Presented by Crispi

Thursday, June 4, 6PM MDT

Many humans feel disconnected from nature and are unfamiliar or out of touch with the origins of their food. Processed and pre-packaged foods, available for sale at supermarkets, department stores and restaurants, now dominate the North American cultural landscape and, for the majority of Americans and Canadians, the traditional relationship between food acquisition and consumption has been drastically altered. Yet not all individuals acquire animal protein from the meat aisle or the frozen fish section. Each year in the U.S. and Canada, more than 50 million people partake in recreational hunting and fishing, harvesting food for themselves and millions of others with whom wild harvested meat and fish are shared.

These wild harvesters positively contribute not only to their own food security and general health and well-being but also to the conservation and wellness of wildlife, wild lands and waters and to the economy. While there have been numerous evaluations of the significant economic impact of recreational hunting and angling, little effort has been made to assess the biomass, economic value and food security contributions of the meat and fish that are harvested and consumed. Furthermore, no one has posed the question of what it would cost to replace this food through expansion of existing agricultural, aquacultural and livestock production. The Wild Harvest Initiative® will change this. 

The first serious effort to evaluate the combined economic, conservation and social benefits of recreational wild animal harvests in modern American and Canadian societies, the Wild Harvest Initiative® is not a project but a narrative-changing program. It is not a finite intervention but a relentless innovation. It does not seek to change society; rather, it takes its energy from society’s culture of change.

Shane Patrick Mahoney, president of Conservation Visions and founder of the Wild Harvest Initiative®, is an internationally recognized conservationist and wildlife advocate and a foremost expert on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Shane’s major career focus has been the population ecology of large mammals: moose, black bears, and caribou. 

A strong advocate for communicating wildlife conservation issues to the public, he has also written more than 100 popular magazine articles, penned eight published book chapters, and was the editor and contributing author for two monographs on sustainable wildlife use in North America for the International Journal of Environmental Studies. In 2019, Johns Hopkins University Press launched his latest book project, an edited volume about the North American Conservation Model.

Intensely passionate, highly insightful, and often challenging in his views, Shane is one of those rare individuals who can reach deeply into our own thoughts about wildlife and nature and somehow help us better understand why we feel as we do… and why our conservation mission is so important.

goHUNT Workshop with Trail Kreitzer Presented by goHUNT

Public Land Bird Dogs with Ryan Busse and Tom Healy

Friday, June 5, 6PM MDT

"Birdhunting with pointing dogs would be the last thing on the earth we give up."

Bird hunting tips and advice from two guys who live to do it. Tom and Ryan will provide an overview on how to start in the sport and how experienced bird hunters can hone their craft. Beginning with dogs, this seminar also encompasses bird species, time of year, scouting and gear. Tom and Ryan are also accomplished wild game chefs, and there will be some hints about how to best cook wild birds. They love it all, so bring your questions and love of dogs, food, wild country and long hikes.

Tom Healy grew up in Iowa City and was introduced to bird hunting while cutting class with his high school principal’s son. Soon after guiding his first trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, he bought a solo canoe and explored the Quetico-Superior region at every opportunity. With his wife Meagen and a pack of bird dogs, Tom moved to northwest Montana in 2002 to start a Nordic ski lodge with friends. He continues to work as a timber frame teacher, designer and builder and is committed to sharing his passion for conservation and wild places. An ardent big game and bird hunter, Tom frequently can be found in the forests, prairies and rimrock country of North America’s public lands.

Ryan Busse By the time BHA Board Chair Ryan Busse could walk and carry a lever action, he began exploring the backcountry of the vast unbroken native prairies on the western Kansas ranch where he was raised. In 1995 he moved to northern Montana to run the sales department for Kimber, which at that time was a fledgling firearms company. He soon became vice president of sales where he remains today. Kimber is now a thriving company and one of the top four firearms manufacturers in the United States. Ryan loves to hike small streams with a fly rod, bird hunt behind his prized dogs and pursue big game with rifles he helped design. He spends every available moment in the Western backcountry from Alaska to Arizona but considers the Rocky Mountain Front of Montana his sacred home. His wonderful and active family includes wife Sara and sons Lander and Badge (named after Lander, Wyoming, and the Badger-Two Medicine in Montana).

Boundary Waters Panel 

Saturday, June 6, 2:15PM MDT

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the surrounding watershed is a critically important landscape – not only to hunters and anglers and local communities but to North America as a whole, including our strong and growing outdoor recreation-based economy. The development of a copper-nickel mine within the wilderness area watershed poses an unprecedented threat to the region. Hear from diverse Boundary Waters voices – Spencer Shaver with Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters, Steve Piragis of Piragis Northwoods Company, and Mark Kenyon of MeatEater – about the wild stories of their experiences in America’s No. 1 most visited wilderness.

From the hills of central Massachusetts Steve Piragis found nature at an early age. His dad took him out fishing the brooks around the Quabbin Reservoir as a kid and on summer vacation on the ocean off the Cape for stripers and blues. He took up birding in junior high because of a most amazing science teacher. All this lead to a degree in zoology and a job in Ely, Minnesota, doing zooplankton research for the EPA in 1975. Life seemed ideal in this small town at the end of the road at the edge of true wilderness. The Boundary Waters became his family's source of income and spiritual renewal. Since 1979 Steve and Nancy, and now their daughter Elli, have dedicated their lives to build an outfitter and retailer to the paddlers and wilderness advocates for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It's been a good life. (Check out Hal Herring's interview with Steve on BHA's Podcast & Blast.)     

Spencer Shaver, a 6th generation Minnesotan, lifelong hunter and angler, has guided canoe trips in the BWCA since 2014. A graduate of the University of Minnesota’s environmental science, policy and management program, Spencer also led trips for the University’s Center for Outdoor Adventure. Spencer works with hunters and anglers across the country to permanently protect the Boundary Waters from proposed copper mining upstream.

Mark Kenyon, the author of That Wild Country: An Epic Journey through the Past, Present, and Future of America's Public Lands, is a lifelong outdoorsman, a nationally published outdoor writer, and one of the hunting and fishing community’s most prominent voices through his podcast, Wired to Hunt. He has appeared on the Netflix Original Series, MeatEater, and been featured in USA Today, The Hill, Outdoor Life, Outside, and more. He is a contributor to MeatEater, Inc., an outdoor lifestyle company founded with the belief that a deeper understanding of the natural world enriches all of our lives.

Bristol Bay Panel

Saturday, June 6, 2:15PM MDT

Sportsmen and women from across the world dream of fishing Bristol Bay’s wild rivers, which support the world’s largest remaining wild salmon fishery, 35 fish species (including all five species of Pacific salmon) and nearly half of wild sockeye populations. Located in southwest Alaska, Bristol Bay also attracts hunters from around the globe eager to explore the undisturbed lands that provide wildlife habitat for moose, caribou, bear and large populations of migratory waterfowl.

For generations, this wild watershed has fostered both a sustainable food source and a sustainable workforce for more than 14,000 people who are currently supported by Bristol Bay’s renowned sportfishing, hunting and outdoor recreation economy. The rich natural resources found here sustain Alaskans and Americans for generations to come, thus multiplying their worth indefinitely.

Unfortunately, Bristol Bay is threatened by a proposal to develop one of the largest gold, copper and molybdenum mines in the world. The mineral deposit sits in the heart of salmon country, in the headwaters of the famed Kvichak and Nushagak Rivers. One natural disaster could cause catastrophic damage to the watershed and livelihoods of thousands.

For more than a decade, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers has been working alongside Alaskans, indigenous communities and more than 1 million American hunters, anglers and businesses to oppose development of the Pebble Mine. Please join us to hear important perspectives from three expert women leading the conservation charge and fighting for our traditions and values in Alaska. We’ll cover the current policy and political dynamics around Pebble Mine, the social values that ground important traditions in Alaska, the irreplaceable fish and wildlife resources, and hear from the people who make a living hunting and fishing the unique lands and waters of Bristol Bay.

Rachel James, SalmonState's Bristol Bay Campaign Coordinator, was born and raised in Palmer, Alaska, has worked with rural Alaskans from Barrow to Yakutat and in the field of environmental policy at the local, state, federal, and international levels. After spending nearly a decade in Patagonia eating farmed salmon, she has returned home to focus on protecting wild Alaskan salmon habitat so her eight-year-old son can enjoy a lifetime of eating healthy, wild fish and wild Alaskan game. 

Kat Carscallen is a lifelong resident of Bristol Bay, raised in a generational fishing family. She captains a commercial drift fishing boat, the F/V Sea Hawk, making a living as part of the longest lasting sustainable salmon fishery in the world.  She currently serves as Executive Director of Commercial Fishermen for Bristol Bay, a national coalition of fishermen dedicated to protecting Alaska’s greatest wild salmon fishery and the land and waters that sustain it.
