Q4 BHA Public Land Policy Update Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined once again by Wisconsin BHA Chapter Chair, Alec Bekkers to discuss all things public lands and public land policy here in Wisconsin! The guys dive into what a lack of funding for the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program would mean for hunters and anglers in Wisconsin, and ways we can still make our voices heard to advocate for its reauthorization. Then they dive into a new proposed bill that would put fees on "non-consumptive" outdoor pursuits such as hiking, biking, XC skiing, and even foraging on state lands. They unpack the common and not-so-common ground between the hunting and other outdoor recreation communities, and the importance of conversations aimed at educating one another rather than taking to social media to rant. Lastly, Alec plugs some upcoming events being hosted by BHA to advocate for public lands and get together with some great folks. All that and more in this week's episode!

Mark your calendars for January 7th and come on down to Madison for "Camo at the Capitol" for a chance to make our voices heard as sportsmen and advocate for public lands in-person with our state representatives!
