Montana Outdoors Fishing River

In 2013, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers had around 1,200 members and two or three staff members. It now has 32 staff members and over 33,000 members.

Aggressive outreach and a campaign aimed a younger generation have helped a Missoula-based sporting and conservation group extend its wings, adding new chapters across the country and thousands of new members.

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, founded 15 years ago around an Oregon campfire, now boasts chapters in 39 states, two Canadian provinces and 30 college campuses. Nearly 70 percent of its members are under the age of 45.
