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. This is an episode not to be missed for any hunter, angler or outdoor recreationalist. Thanks for tuning in.
Tell your elected officials that you value your public lands and waters.
