MISSOULA, Mont. – The Access Issue, a special edition of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers’ quarterly magazine, Backcountry Journal, is hitting mailboxes across North America. Here are some of the highlights from an issue that explores the critical link between a healthy habitat and our ability to hunt and fish.

Corners in sight: Sabrina King, Wyoming BHA member and legislative lobbyist, takes a deep dive into the legal battles over the corner turn in the cowboy state, detailing recent fights, critical victories, and insights into the potential ramifications of our ability to legally access public lands in North America.
BHA Chapter Access Earnings: BHA chapters in North America are on the front lines in the battles for access to our public lands and waters.
