The OHFA is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit and as such we refrain from activities that involve influencing policy-makers, instead we pursue educational opportunities such as the annual Legislative Shoot and informational materials such as Professor John Reiger's book, "The American Sportsmen and the Origins of Conservation." We feel that providing such educational opportunities helps inform people about the important role hunting, fishing and trapping play in the conservation of Alaska's wild resources so that they may make more informed decisions when considering these age old traditions.
