You impugn BHA because of its donors, but you have no idea who's behind "Green Decoys."
Dig a little deeper.

I just went and read the “Green Decoy’s” website. They are absolutley right, BHA is about Environmental Activism. As posted above they are active about the two biggest threats to Hunting. 1. Habitat Loss 2. Hunter Access
I am a BHA member and will continue to be, you should too, if you are a hunter.

I’ve tried, but tinfoil just isn’t a good look for me- obviously some don’t mind the look

I’m on the BHA outreach committee in Austin, Tx. I’ve worked in DC and am very aware of how the inside of that process works and have also been a cop now for 10 years (I’m very skeptical about everything). I believe strongly in the mission of BHA-to keep public lands in public hands and to retain access for hunting and fishing. Anyone is welcome to DM me and I would gladly talk about BHA and public land issues.

Green Decoys was done by people working for Berman and Associates, which is frankly pretty opaque, a PR firm for "bad" businesses. But the report itself is all verifiable. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is funded by Big Green, trying to put a "hunter and angler" gloss on the ponytailed urban granola muncher stereotype. And yep, you can have access, just only by hoof or foot. Only. Just like the Greens want the same thing. Money sets the agenda, which comes from the left wing of America's billionaire class.

Ole Dave must be slipping up. This thread was dormant for a month before he commented on it. His bosses must of gotten after him for not staying on top of the fight against public lands!

As long as you only hike or ride horses, they are for you.
Want to ride a bicycle? BHA is not your friend.
Personally, I am for Americans accessing public land. Some folks believe that unless you choose to access their way, you should not have access.

I get it, you are a wilderness advocate. As an American that lives, and recreates, in and around several wilderness areas, I see an elitist attitude displayed.
Only one of us wants to restrict others access.

Only one of us wants to restrict others access. One man's elitist is another man's visionary... thank God for "elitist's" like John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt. In 100 years there will likely be no wilderness left on the planet so we may as well put roads into every nook and cranny so everyone with an atv can access it, because that's worked out so well in Montana. It may come as a surprise, but nature has a value that is independent of our needs and desires, even our existence. It's genuinely hard to fathom someone arguing against wilderness on a backpack hunting forum...
