Backcountry Hunters and Anglers announced to a surprised national conservation community on Wednesday, July 19, that Land Tawney, the group’s president and CEO, would be leaving the organization. The change is effective the end of the month.
Tawney told Outdoor News his departure came after wanting to spend more time with his family, missing time afield, and wanting a fresher perspective for the BHA position where he served for 10 years.

More to fear on CWD? A look at the tick-and-deer connection

It’s common to read that CWD is spread by animal-to-animal interactions or by contacting a contaminated environment.

Delta Waterfowl workshop in southeastern Minnesota on July 22 seeks to hook new duck hunters

Featured, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

Scott Threinen had his moment. He remembers it in vivid detail.

He was doing chores on his family dairy farm outside of Rochester, Minn., when he was 10 years old. A skein of nine giant Canada geese – in all their honking glory – flew over the barn and landed in a nearby field.

“The thing that sticks with me is that they made the coolest sound … and those whistling wings,” said Threinen, a three-time world champion goose caller and founder of Molt Gear, a business that caters to waterfowl hunters. “That was the start of it for me. For Christmas that year, I asked for a goose call and I was off. It’s still my passion today.”
