  • Recent show with Cal

    I sure appreciate all of Cal’s work advocating and opposing public land sales, but why the softball interview questions a month ago with Sheehy?Firefighters see right through him. Every letter I write to the Montana delegation gets a response that starts with public land support and ends with a “we will look into it.” They both voted to slash PBS funding after saying how important it was in Montana, and they will do the same with public land sales…

  • Gila episode

    Great episode and overview of a wonderful place…I have done, and continue to do, lots of trail work in the burn scars there, and one conversation that was missing is that the FS is allowing the trails to completely disappear to the point of disintegrating access. There is a preservationist side of the agency that wants this, and the Gila burn scars will oblige unless dealt with more assertively. Access is disappearing there, and there aren’t near as many trails as the maps show.

An Assault on Public Lands with BHA's Patrick Berry and Kaden McArthur
Q: What should a public land advocate, a hunter, a fisherman in the United States right now, what would you tell them to do?
People should stay educated on public land issues and engage their representatives by making phone calls and using BHA's Action Center to advocate against the selling of public lands.
Fly Fishing Film Culture with RA Beattie
Q: Did you come into it from an unpassionate for fly fishing first?
We grew up in a small valley and fishing was always there, so I turned that interest into a fishing guide career.
Fly Fishing Film Culture with RA Beattie
Q: What was it like to travel the world like that? Are you fishing too?
We don't fish a ton, but we crave those shots, capturing those moments and getting those eats, which sometimes seems harder than catching that fish.
Fly Fishing Film Culture with RA Beattie
Q: Can you tell me where you're coming from?
I'm currently in Bend, Oregon, right in the middle of the state right here in the high desert on the dry side of the Cascades.
Our Common Ground: A History of America’s Public Lands -- Part II with John Leshy
Q: Can you talk about the Property Clause and its implications on federal land management?
The Property Clause grants Congress broad power to regulate federal lands, and there are no strict constitutional limits preventing Congress from managing these resources as they see fit.
