I would rather pull my fingernails out one at a time with a pair of pliers than join the BHA. Why? Because of this current deal with the Oak Mountain hunt. The BHA is using a public hunt on public land, land that is owned by each and every one of us, to increase their membership and finances. And they'll turn around and use this increased power to further their agenda. Whether I agree with that agenda or not is irrelevant, it is the principle that is wrong.
What would be the response on here if the state struck up a deal with the state Democratic party to run WMA hunts, and required you to join the Democratic party if you wanted to hunt on a WMA? What would be the response on here to that? I doubt it would be favorable, though it is the exact same principle. The idea that a private organization is using public lands to further their agenda is not right.
