About this listen

 The Arena is the official podcast of American Hunters and Anglers--the Front Line in the War on Public Lands and Wildlife. Here we discuss public lands, access, hunting, fishing, clean water... and the policies, plans and politicians who affect them. With decades of combined experience in outdoor traditions, public policy and electoral politics, AHA isn't afraid of the fight, we call it like we see it, we make it easy to understand and we have plenty of fun along the way. "Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood." -Theodore Roosevelt2025 American Anglers and Hunters Political Science Politics & Government

    Big Brother
    Dec 1 2025

    What is U.S. Senator Mike Lee's controversial "Big Brother Bill"? And why is it so dangerous to hunters and anglers across the nation? AHA takes a deep dive into S. 2967, the so-called "Border Lands Conservation Act," which weaponizes federally managed public land within 100 miles of Canada and Mexico.


    In this special episode, recorded at CrookedCon in Washington, D.C., Land, Barrett, Brin and Aaron chat with former U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) for some valuable insight. Plus, why pumpkin spice and dog treats don't mix. And AHA raises a red flag over Trump's 78-year-old nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management (HINT: He has a record of opposing public lands).
