Andrew Monaghan, Magnolia Springs, AL

I am drawn to BHA’s commitment to public land advocacy, outdoor traditions, and intelligent use. Furthermore, I believe BHA will be an effective and powerful voice for public lands in the Southeast.


 

Gunner Hall, Savannah, GA

Gunner is a lifelong outdoor enthusiast. Starting at an early age by “camping” out in his parent’s back yard with friends and backpacking the Colorado Rockies in his late teens.

His love of the outdoors remains today with hunting birds and big game mainly in the woods and swamps of Georgia’s Low Country and fishing in Georgia’s Atlantic Coastal Waterways. He is a strong advocate for conservation efforts and is committed to helping preserve public hunting land for future generations to enjoy. Gunner is a member of multiple organizations dedicated to conservation such as: Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Ruffed Grouse Society  and The Ogeechee Riverkeeper.

Andrew's youth was steeped in the rich outdoor traditions of the Deep South. From fishing in the Lowcountry of Georgia to hunting the ridges of the Appalachians, he experienced the greatest landscapes the Southeast had to offer. After graduating from the University of Georgia, he began a career in landscape architecture, and his passion for wildlife habitats, native plants, and diverse ecosystems continued to grow. He believes public land provides people the opportunity to embark on adventures, harvest sustainable game, and steward treasured natural resources.

American sportsmen have laid claim to many of the nation’s past conservation victories. His desire is for hunters and anglers to uphold this legacy and champion the preservation of wildlife and wild places. For this reason, he is a proud member of BHA.

 


MichaelO.jpgMichael Osborne

Michael grew up in the suburbs of Northern Kentucky, where urban sprawl collided with horses and tobacco farms. He always preferred the latter. In high school, he did some deer hunting, always feeling a strong pull toward the woods and creeks. His passion for public lands was ignited several years later when he was stationed in New Mexico with the Air Force and drew his first elk tag. That hunt and the landscape of the Gila National Forest opened his eyes to the incredible adventure available to all Americans. He has moved states a few times since that hunt, but public lands have remained a foundational part of life for him and his family.

As he learned more about public land issues, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers was a constant presence, educating and organizing the public. He was drawn to the grassroots-style organization of BHA and the work they did. He signed up and has been a proud member ever since.
