Inside the Spring Issue of BHA’s Backcountry Journal

By Ammoland Editor Joe Evans

MISSOULA, Mont. -(Ammoland.com)- The spring 2017 issue of Backcountry Journal is arriving in BHA members’ mailboxes this week.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll find inside:

• Missouri River on the Fly: Renowned author E. Donnall Thomas Jr. and his wife Lori retraced the steps of the Lewis and Clark Expedition through Montana’s Missouri River Breaks, one of the areas least changed since the Corps of Discovery’s visit. They sought walleye on the fly but instead found goldeye and channel catfish – a fine substitute.
• Low and Slow: An Early Spring Float for Chrome Steelhead: We took a page from artist Ed Anderson’s journal and featured it as our centerfold. The story tells itself: If there are any universals to steelheading, they are that the weather probably won’t cooperate … but the payoff can be huge.
• A Conversation with Shane Mahoney: Part scientist, part historian, part philosopher, Mahoney is one of the world’s foremost authorities on wildlife conservation. In this interview, he offers his unique take on the issues – public lands, habitat conservation and opportunities to access great hunting and fishing – that BHA members care about most.
• Our Heritage of Desert: …Read the Rest
