I read about BHA,,,, They are trying to be active in the UP, and they have some good ideas, however I have not been very impressed by those I have met. I went to the Wis Deer Classic this spring and they had a booth. 3 young men, that all looked the part, but in talking to them, did not seem to be woodsmen, or know much about it.

The concept of BHA is to keep public land open, which I agree with, but they talk politics, and when I questioned them, on their stance on trapping, they acted like they were gut shot,,,,, I mean I got the feeling, they knew little about it, or even agreed with it. They also had little knowledge on bowhunting issues, that are pressing in some places.

If they want members in the UP, they better have guys or gals, that give out a better vibe,,,,, there was something about those guys, that just caused me pause, were they hunters or protectionist,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, not saying I would not join, but I had doubt about the org
