I have seen quite a few examples of BHA doing habitat projects. I have not seen those opposing BHA give examples of what they do. Are they perfect? Probably not, but by golly I think they do a lot of good.


I have been a member of RMEF and the Mule Deer Foundation for 20 years. They do real habitat work.
40+ years with the Minnesota deer hunters association. I have spent many a weekend helping them when asked.
30+ years with DU. I have built and put up over 200 wood duck houses and help with woody camps over the years.
15+ years with the Ruffed Grouse Society. I have volunteered my time helping set up and maintaining a lot of the RGMA's in the state over the years.
What the fug have you done other that be a member of a bullchit group?

BHA is no different than the Sierra Club. In fact most of the crap they post on social media is word for word copied from them.
The PolyMet mine is a perfect example. What BHA posted on social media about it was copy and pasted from the Sierra Club and Friends of the BWCA. Even the ultra leftest Minneapolis Star and Tribune had to call the claims they were making as false. Governor Goofy admitted he hasn't seen any scientific evidence that should stop the mine from opening but he keeps caving to the ultra leftist groups and will not sign off on it.

BHA has never had a good word to say about Secretary Zinke and most of the crap they post is once again copy and pasted from the Sierra Club.
Why haven't they said a word about Secretary Zinke announcing this past Monday a proposal to open more than 248,000 acres to new or expanded hunting and fishing opportunities at 30 national wildlife refuges? One would think that is right up their alley but like all the leftest anti Trump A holes they could never give any credit even when it is rightfully due.





"What the fug have you done other that be a member of a bullchit group?"

Is this directed at me? If so, you want to see my credentials in outdoor volunteer time?

What the "fug" do I do? More than "helping". RMEF member for 22 years. MDHA member for roughly 20 years. PF member for 24 years. PF committee member for 24 years including holding treasurer for 3 years, VP for a number of years, and chapter president for the last 9 years. Cant tell you how many food plots or tree plantings (thousands of trees) I have done, but it is a lot, typically 5+ per year. A couple pollinator plots installed, one on the high school property. Only 1 prescribed burn. Banquet chair for around a dozen or so fundraisers to financially support a ton more projects. Built and put up quite a few woodie houses. Founder and Executive Director of 2 Youth Outdoor Days with the current one drawing over 2,000 kids annually. Board of Directors and Vice President of a local large conservation organization in which I (we) do a ton of habitat, youth, and other conservation projects that are more numerous than i want to list. FSC instructor for 19 years (although that is not exactly conservation, investing in our youth is pretty important). Guest speaker at over 2 dozen audiences (including schools on various conservation issues). Next time you want to call someone out on something and ask them what the "fug" they do, you better make sure you have something on your resume better than they have. "Helping", although nice and I certainly appreciate your efforts, isn't exactly a place to throw stones from.

What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
