Summary

Trey Curtiss, a native son of Montana, is BHA’s Strategic Partnerships and Conservation Programs Manager. Trey is also among a very small group of public lands’ elk hunters who have successfully filled a bull tag now for over ten years in a row. Ponder that, for a moment: for any of us who have hunted bulls in the backcountry and think we know exactly what that entails. Do we know, really? What are we missing? What does it take, really, in time, gear, commitment, preparation? Join us for one of the most in-depth talks on public lands elk hunting that you will ever encounter.

Before the diving into the nitty gritty from one of the best elk hunters you’re yet to hear of, Trey and Hal ponder the future of hunting, conservation, and the wild places we rely on for sustenance and spirit – and BHA’s critical role in it all – in this not-to-be-missed episode of BHA’s Podcast & Blast.

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.

0:43.5	things about BHA, and not to say that other organizations don't have this, but the bulk of
0:48.3	our membership, the bulk of our supporters do tend to lean much younger than other folks within the hook and bullet space.
