YOUNGGUNZ Report post Posted January 22, 2013 This Saturday and Sunday was the 2013 winter Hunting and Angling Heritage Work Group (HAHWG) meeting. This year it was held in Tucson at the SCI International Wildlife Museum. It was a great time visiting with old friends and meeting some new ones. Some of the this year’s agenda items covered were past and future conservation, youth and adult events, new hunter recruitment and methods on how to retain them, how the different conservation groups, hunting clubs and individuals can partner up with each other as well as Industry (retail) partners to aid in making future events more productive and efficient as well as possible steps that Game and Fish are taking to simplify the licensing process. A very hot topic that was brought up and a considerable amount of time spent was on the closure of the Big Boquillas Ranch. I would highly recommend all of you that visit and hunt on the Boquillas to read up on the changes that are coming. They are substantial to say the least. Another alarming but not very surprising trend that was discussed was the shrinking number of people spending time in the outdoors. With just a little effort we could all make such a difference in so many peoples’ lives. Please visit the AZGFD website and click on the Outdoor Skills tab to find out how you can help pass on the tradition and heritage that we all cherish. A huge thank you to Arizona Elk Society and the Tucson Sportsmans Warehouse for the wonderful food and hospitality. Team Young Gunz can not wait for the Womens Javelina Hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
