Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Gets Some Ink

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is a conservation group for those of us who sometimes feel too "green" among the hook-and-bullet crowd, yet simultaneously are too "blaze orange" for some enviros.

Though not yet large in numbers, BHA has been in the news quite a bit lately. Some samples:

• Co-chairman David Lien backs the Division of Wildlife's proposal to ban killing of denned-up bears.
• Lien also wrote an op-ed piece for the Denver Post supporting Interior Secretary Salazar's decision to consider more BLM wilderness designations.
• A member in Montana wrote a piece on a gun raffle that sounded suspiciously like an invitation to poaching.

To learn more about the group, you may download the Fall 2010 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers newsletter too (PDF, 3.4 megabytes).
