BHA's Jason Meekhof of Michigan, Chris Hennessey of Pennsylvania and Josh Kaywood of Tennessee talk Eastern hunting and fishing, the explosive growth of BHA west of the Mississippi River, and the many challenges, threats and issues facing sportsmen in the eastern United States, including loss of access, dwindling numbers of hunters speaking out for wild places, and the role of public lands and waters in an increasingly privatized landscape. The conversation explores a history of triumphs in restoring fish, game and habitats and the extraordinary beauties of Eastern forests and wetlands (Kaywood is a passionate public lands waterfowl hunter in the Mississippi Delta), whitetails in the wild Adirondacks, and the powerful, centuries-deep Pennsylvania hunting culture.
