Behind the scenes: BHA's youngest recruit Dylan Snyder

Author: Lj Dawson
Dylan Snyder, born in Montana, hasn't missed a chance to go hunting and fishing since he could walk. He grew up following his older sister and father up the nearest mountain to hunt. He likes to say he's been involved in the fight for public lands for a mere cup of coffee compared to his older compatriots.  He stuck to his own personal sporting adventures until a year ago when the attacks on public lands and waters pushed him to go beyond his own recreation and get involved in the fight. He ...
