“January was my gulp of air, the blinding light; the reset button. For five days I, along with a couple of friends, had the opportunity to chase through Colorado's wide empty spaces searching for silence, solitude and winter trout"—Words by #PublicLandOwner @allencr8r & 📸 by @geoffshirleyphotographer
Can’t wait to get back in the mountains and chase around some big bulls with the stick and string. Even if you don’t find the elk, you still get the best seat in the house to some of the most beautiful places out there ⛰ #publiclandowner
Found what was making me uncomfortable. I was sitting on this old empty shell. Kinda cool to find something like that and know that you could be sitting in the spot where someone hit/missed a buck of a lifetime. Maybe it was a kid taking his or her first deer. Or it could be just a good ole boy putting meat on the table. Whatever it was, I hope it was a good memory for the shooter. #publiclandowner#deerhunting#7mmremmag#bankheadnationalforest#exercisedominion#keepitpublic#southerngroundhunting

Forever Wild is Under Threat -- Take Action Now!
What is Forever Wild?
Forever Wild Land Trust has “secured more than 255,000 acres of land in Alabama for public use…[and] has also created more than 220 miles of recreational trails within 22 new recreation areas and nature preserves, while providing additions to 10 State Parks and 16 Wildlife Management Areas.” How is Forever Wild Funded?
Funding for the Forever Wild Land Trust is generated by the interest earned from offshore natural gas royalties deposited into the Alabama Trust Fund. The FWLT receives 10 percent of the distributed interest, capped at $15 million for any given year. Visit the State Treasurer’s website for information on the Alabama Trust Fund.
Misconceptions: Does Forever Wild seize land owner’s property?
NO! Forever Wild has never seized land, nor do they have the ability to do so. Forever Wild has only acquired land from willing sellers, as a willing buyer.
What is the threat?
HB362 is a bill designed to tax all properties acquired by the Forever Wild Land Trust even though these properties are ultimately State land. Though this might seem innocuous, the concern is that because the tax pulls from the principle of the fund it will quickly drain the fund and ultimately prevent the future sustainability of the organization and its ability to add future public lands for sportsmen to recreate on.
Representative Tuggle, the man responsible for the bill in its current form, argues some counties need the tax revenue. Unfortunately Rep. Tuggle has not considered two important facts. First, the dollar amount generated by his tax plan would be inconsequential, in many cases amounting to less than $20,000 annually per county. Second, according to a recent study by the Trust for Public Land to understand Forever Wild’s economic impact, “tourists and residents generate $7.5 billion in consumer spending related to outdoor recreation annually. This spending generates $494 million in tax revenues, supports 86,000 jobs, and provides $2 billion in wages.” Tuggle’s Bill directly threatens this productive economic engine. What Can I Do?

A classic moment from the @backcountryhunters #Rende2018 . On Sunday, BHA hosted a free day at the archery range with demos and a few fun challenges. These 2 brothers, ages 13 & 15, competed against each other in an archery biathlon. @idahobha and @firstlitehunting offered a special edition First Lite poster to the winner. The best part is @olcal406 signed the poster and chatted with the kids. You couldn't wipe the smile off anyone within 20 feet. Let's hope these kind of experiences foster motivation for these boys to be involved in conservation the rest of their lives.
