Backcountry Hunters & Anglers

Backcountry Hunters and Anglers was shaped around a campfire in the foothills of Oregon’s southern Cascades during the late winter of 2004. Seven thought-leaders came together to address the management inadequacies of our nation’s wild public lands heritage and set out to create a grassroots organization focused not on protecting one specific species, landscape, or outdoor pursuit but rather on ecosystem-wide conservation across the continent. They wanted to create an influential voice for the silent wilderness. With over 350,000 members and supporters and chapters in 45 states, two Canadian provinces, one Canadian territory and Washington, D.C., BHA is the fastest growing hunting and fishing organization in the world and represents a dynamic and diverse set of young and passionate public land and water advocates. As the voice for our wild public lands, waters and wildlife, BHA seeks to ensure North America’s outdoor heritage of hunting and fishing in a natural setting through education and work on behalf of fish, wildlife and wild places. We represent the challenge, solitude and adventure that only the backcountry can provide. We take pride in representing the next generation.
