Podcasts about BHA

The Northeast is the most densely populated part of our country, and is rich in opportunities for hunting, fishing, hiking and camping, due to an extensive network of public lands and the massively successful wildlife restorations and legislation to clean up rivers and reclaim the industrial and mining mishaps of the past. None of our outdoor pursuits exist here by accident or by luck. The hunting and fishing, the habitat, the access that they depend upon, is the result of work inspired by a passion for making sure that something wonderful can go on and on, in the face of ever increasing challenges. Join us for a conversation with two BHA guys on the front lines, Lake Champlain's Brian Bird, rural New York-state native, PhD in geology, hunter, angler, and professional meatcutter, and Chris Borgatti, Eastern Policy and Conservation director, based in coastal Massachusetts on the Great Marsh, teacher, hunter, fisherman, surfer and endurance athlete. Let's talk brook trout, biodiversity, public lands and state agencies, family, hunting, and making sure that it goes on. ---- The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

Kyle Lybarger, a native of Hartselle, Alabama, is a botanist and restoration ecologist and the founder of the Native Habitat Project. He's also a father, a conservationist, a lifelong whitetail and turkey hunter, sauger and bass fisherman. Kyle is a man on a mission: to save or restore as much of the South's native plants, grasslands, savannahs, limestone glades and open woodlands as he possibly can, and to start a movement of motivated Southerners to do the same, anywhere possible and on any scale, from a tiny corner in a suburban front yard or replacing the sterile turf around a new factory, to reintroducing controlled burns to thousands of acres. He's racing against time, indifference and outright opposition, working tirelessly as a sprawling development boom overwhelms one of the most biodiverse and rare ecosystems in the world, demolishing not only the wildlife and plants but the history of Native peoples and a whole Southern culture built upon a relationship with wildlife, land, and water. Follow Kyle's highly informative and brilliant Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/nativehabitatproject/ and enjoy this interview, recorded at Hal's homeplace in Alabama, after some adventures identifying rare plants, and a 14 hour day with a controlled burn that got a little, well, over enthusiastic.     The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

Remember when Mike Lee's 3.3 million-acre land sales were making headlines, what felt like every few seconds? It was all over social media; every conservation organization was talking about it, and even friends of mine who had never been very civically involved gathered the gumption to call their senators. Well, despite the fact that as a collective, we rallied together to defeat all three of Mike Lee's most recent attempts to sell public lands, Trump's Big “Ugly” Bill passed in the Senate, and within the hundreds of pages of legislation, many public lands attacks remained. While I do my best to cover most public lands news every Friday on this podcast, hearing from others in the outdoor advocacy community can shed light on things we may not have considered and help foster conversations needed to continue this fight. That's why I am excited to introduce Land Tawney to episode 189 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast. Land is co-chair of American Hunters & Anglers, an energetic, media-based organization built on holding policy makers accountable through fast-paced grassroots advocacy. Tawney is a nationally renowned advocate of public land and wildlife. For a decade, he was president and CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, where under his leadership, BHA grew exponentially, expanding to 48 states and into Canada, garnering 40,000 members, and building an army of public land defenders. Land has testified before Congress on behalf of the Boundary Waters and has served on numerous federal advisory councils in support of hunting, fishing and conservation. He has held roles with the National Wildlife Federation, where he launched their Vanishing Paradise campaign in support of the Gulf Coast, and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. His 25 years of experience as an advocate, leader and sportsman make him just as comfortable in the duck blind and trout stream as he is on Capitol Hill.

The thrilling Coral-Eclipse, a champion jockey in court and British racing's latest showdown with government all come under the microscope in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Peter Scargill and James Stevens analyse how Delacroix stole Sandown's premier Flat race from hot favourite Ombudsman before considering what the future might hold for Aidan O'Brien's latest Eclipse hero. The panel also reflects on the future of Oisin Murphy after one of the sport's most talented but controversial figures pleaded guilty to drink driving in a court appearance that ended with him being fined £70,000 and banned from driving. Murphy's offence has caused problems for British racing's governing body but the BHA faces an even starker dilemma in its efforts to persuade government against a tax-raising measure that could cost the sport upwards of £66 million. In a packed programme, Lee, Peter and James debate that and other stories, including Kia Joorabchian's latest personnel change at Amo Racing.

Nick is joined by Mirror journalist David Yates to discuss the biggest stories in racing today. They begin with a review of the Oisin Murphy case, heard at Reading Magistrates Court yesterday. They also ask whether the BHA has some questions to answer over licensing and conditions. Also on today's show, Wertheimer Bros. Racing Manager P-Y Bureau on Sosie's Eclipse bid, plus trainers Harry Charlton (seeking Group One glory with Cosmic Year) and William Knight, who fields two popular old timers at Sandown this weekend.

Chris Jordan has some unwelcome news for the watershed and fisheries restoration movement. Restoring robust populations of salmonids and other fish species in degraded rivers and wetlands is much more complex than we could have ever imagined, and we've been doing it wrong for decades. Most of us, even those of us who view our fishing and our rivers as a kind of religion, don't even know what a truly healthy river looks like. But Chris also has some welcome news, though, and it's the subject of today's podcast: we know how to restore functioning watersheds for coldwater fisheries now, and it's imminently achievable. Real watershed restoration that can last and bring back healthy cold water fisheries – it's called “process-based restoration” – is the future. It's not just about removing archaic dams and putting curves and woody debris back into broken and degraded creeks. It's about beavers, muck and mire and willow thickets, floodplains and aquifers, wildfire and wetlands, gravity and shade. It is, as Chris has studied and implemented successfully for the past few decades, about “helping rivers do their jobs with a lighter hand and a larger scope” and recognizing that the messiest natural systems are the very best at producing the strongest and healthiest fisheries. Join us- 100% guaranteed, you'll see your favorite rivers and creeks in an entirely new light.   The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

The news keeps getting worse: over 250 million acres of our public lands potentially up for sale and 3 million or more likely carved out.  While this has been a goal, and a dream, of many radical politicians for the past fifty years, until now it has only been whispered, dog-whistled, lied about, and obscured. Now, their plan is out in the open. The line is drawn in the sand. The gauntlet has been thrown down. The land grabbers have made their play. How will we respond? How do we, the Americans who know and love and depend upon these lands, stop this utterly shameless theft of our national assets? MeatEater Director of Conservation and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers North American Board Chair Ryan Callaghan joins Hal as they discuss what is happening, what's at stake, and how we – all of us American patriots together -- are going to stop this vandalism and theft of the treasures of our nation.

“At first the Euroamerican settlers could not fathom the tallgrass prairie. Stepping into it from cropland-speckled woodlands to the east, they entered a land of sky and horizon, wind and light, flower and scent, a surging sea of grasses that staggered the imagination. The prairie grasslands seemed to stretch on forever, a landscape that promised no enclosure, only intensity and exposure…” So writes Cornelia (Connie) Mutel in her book, The Emerald Horizon: The History of Nature in Iowa, a modern classic of natural history. Mutel has spent her life chronicling the fantastic and beleaguered landscape of her home state, and the place that she knows and loves like no other. Her life's work- seven books written or edited, all on different aspects of Iowa's natural history- could be viewed as a requiem: only 0.1% of the native tallgrass prairies remain in Iowa, over 97% of its' once wildly biodiverse landscapes have been converted to human use, agricultural runoff and toxic spills have poisoned over half of the state's waterways and thousands of its residents' wells, the draining of wetlands causes massive, budget-breaking floods, topsoil loss is at crisis level. The current model of Iowa's agriculture does not work for anyone, and there seems to be no political will to change it. But Connie Mutel, a writer steeped in the understanding of time, nature, and change, does not believe in requiems. We discuss her latest and perhaps most important work, Tending Iowa's Land: Pathways to a Sustainable Future, where she brings together a diverse selection of expert voices from across Iowa, all focused on the very possible and very practical goal of fixing that which is broken, and restoring the miracle that is Iowa.   --- The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.

Aidan O'Brien's 11th Derby triumph is the main focus of this week's edition of The Front Page, which also examines why so few people went to Epsom. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd reflect on Classic victories for Ballydoyle and Coolmore with Lambourn and Minnie Hauk, digging deep into the quality of this year's Derby and Oaks. The team also debates why the Derby day attendance has dropped so dramatically and asks what the crowd crisis means for the racecourse and Jockey Club. Away from Epsom, this week's show covers other major stories, including how British racing's stakeholders responded to Racing Post questions about incoming BHA chair Charles Allen's concerns over the sport's governance structure and Jim Mullen's first comments as Jockey Club group chief executive.

Field Of Gold and Lake Victoria produced devastating performances to become Irish Guineas champions over the weekend. Not surprisingly, they are the first main talking points in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Liam Headd look back at all the top weekend action and debate whether either of the two Classic winners is worth backing now to follow up at Royal Ascot. The panel also asks why the Curragh looked so quiet for the Guineas festival and assess how Los Angeles, Anmaat, Kalpana, White Birch and Sosie fared in Group 1 prizes that whet the appetite for the months ahead. Following the launch of British racing's new national marketing campaign, Maddy, Liam and Lee give their views on what they have seen so far and then wrap up last week's other major news stories, including the BHA's threat to block racecourses from staging fixtures.

This week on the Meatgistics podcast, Jon and Austin dive into a wild mix of headlines and personal misadventures. They discuss the new BHA bill that could impact the future of public lands and access for hunters and outdoorsmen. Things get bizarre with the story of a Wisconsin cow that was impaled by a 2x4, and Jon shares his own streak of bad luck—including a treadmill accident and the devastating loss of all the meat in his deep freezer. To wrap things up, the guys marvel at a man who built a nearly indestructible, bear-proof suit. It's an episode full of advocacy, absurdity, and a few bruises along the way!

“[David Joy]is a man who sees his homeplace clearly and who writes like his hand was touched by God.” — The New York Times Novelist and essayist David Joy is a tall, lean and red-bearded denizen of the hollers, mountain tops and ridges of Jackson County, North Carolina. He is an obsessive turkey, deer and squirrel hunter, a fisherman who wrote his first published book on fly fishing but who is equally at home running live baits for big flathead catfish on Piedmont rivers. He is on the very short list of great American fiction writers and essayists who hunt and fish and speak for public lands and conservation as naturally as they breathe or write. This podcast was recorded at David's cabin near Little Canada, North Carolina, after a long hike in the Pisgah National Forest to scout new hunting country, in the good company of David's little feist dog, Edie Munster. Listeners who love David's stark and hyper-realistic style of writing, and his oft-times harrowing and unsettling novels, will love when Hal and David talk writing and story after a deep dive on turkey calls and turkey hunting.

Public lands and waters have risen to the forefront of hunter-angler issues in 2025, from Utah's attempted steal of 18.5 million acres of land owned by us all and managed by the Bureau of Land Management to divestment and sale of public lands being floated in Congress and the shrinking of the Federal workforce charged with overseeing the health of our shared resources. The daily flow of information has been a constant -- one that's hard to keep up with. In this special episode of the Podcast & Blast, Hal sits down with BHA President and CEO Patrick Berry and Director of Government Relations Kaden McArthur to sort through the maze and learn what's really going on. And most importantly, we learn of BHA's critical work in advocating for our shared lands and waters and the role we all play as citizens of the United States in deciding the future of our public lands.

When Mandela Leola Van Eeden was a child roaming the South African outback, her father would run a flag up a tall pole above their cabin so that she and her dog would be able to find their way back home. Her mother is from Valier, on Montana's Hi-Line, and Mandela grew up mostly in Billings, steeped as much in the Montana outdoors culture as she was in her father's native South African farming and ranching world. She is a hunter and an angler, an international whitewater rafting guide and explorer,  musician, Ashtanga yoga teacher, and host and producer of the hugely popular podcast The Trail Less Travelled. The foundation of her life and her work is the beauty and power of the natural world, conserving it, honoring it, being a part of it. Mandela serves on the board of the Montana Wildlife Federation, and is a critical voice in African conservation efforts, from the Zambezi River to watersheds in the Atlas Mountains.
