Well stated. I joined early and I've been to their get togethers here when they're in town. I didn't see any tree huggers, just hard core hunters.
Guys like Skinner can't stand BHA because it advocates for roadless and wilderness areas which are anathema to them. BHA doesn't advocate for roadless areas because Patagonia does, we do it because roadless areas are the best places to hunt and fish. Period.
On the face of it one would think that the greenies and hunters would be natural allies, and if it were not for the greeny obsession with the anti-firearm/hunting agenda it would be a comfortable alliance that would produce great benefits for rural communities.
