Navigating a Changing Arctic: Understanding Caribou Responses & Backcountry Blues Collab Brew!
with Heather Johnson, USGS
📅 Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025 | ⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM
Join the Alaska Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers for an evening of science, cairbou, and a special BHA Public Lands Cider at Double Shovel Cider Co. as Heather Johnson, wildlife biologist with U.S. Geological Survey, talks about the status of migratory caribou in the Alaskan Arctic, and how the USGS and their partners are conducting research to understand caribou responses to changing habitat conditions. In particular, Heather will talk about research using video camera collars on caribou (say that 10x fast!), and the insights that are being gained from ‘seeing life’ from a caribou’s perspective.
Come early, grab a locally crafted pint special for Public Lands Month-- Blueberry Blues*, and enjoy an informal, informative eveningabout one of Alaska’s most migratory and popular game animals.

This Pint Night is one is a series sponsored nationally by onX Hunt!
As are all of our Pint Nights, this will be a casual, fun way to meet fellow backcountry enthusiats, swap stories and learn about BHA and our mission to conserve wild public lands, waters, and wildlife. BHA members advocate for public hunting and fishing and we work to maintain and improve access to places to hunt and fish. We also speak up for wildlife, guided by the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Finally, we believe in and advocate for fair chase in pursuit of fish and game. If those ideals resonate with you, please come join us to learn more and maybe become part of BHA.
This event is free and open to all. Our friends at onX Hunt will provide a free, one-year Premium One State Membership for the first 15 attendees who initiate or renew a BHA membership at this event.
