Hey Levi welcome to AO. Great to see someone who wants to get involved.

However, there are some things you should know about the Alberta version of BHA: several of their board members are heavily involved in Y2Y and were involved in getting the grizzly hunt cancelled. Kevin V.T. is banned from this site for numerous anti hunting rants. They also publicly sided with the GOA during the recent castle park creation, more or less saying they are fine with an eventual hunting closure as long as ATVs got banned. In fact, they have not done a single thing nor issued a single statement to support hunting in backcountry areas. All of their work has centered around supporting access restrictions. So they aren't real popular here, to say the least.

Unfortunately, these Canmore granolas are using the BHA name and all the hard work Land has done to further their own agenda. A lot of the folks who are signing up don't understand that each chapter is independent and how the people running it here have acted and are acting. When questioned, they continue to refer to habitat concerns, with no guarantee that they support continued foot access to the habitat for hunting purposes.

Many of us had high hopes for ABHA as a hunting advocacy group with a clean start, but things have not gone that way. Feel free to post here or PM if you have any questions. All the best with your future endeavors.
