Map shows states where Trump's hunting order will have most impact
The Trump administration moved to loosen hunting and fishing restrictions, signing two executive orders Thursday that expand access to federal lands and roll back lead-related rules. Speaking to more than 100 hunters, anglers and outdoor leaders in the White House Rose Garden, President Donald Trump announced the measures aimed at “reinvigorating America’s hunting heritage.” One order directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to allow hunting at California’s Castle Mountains National Monument and Idaho’s Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve within 90 days, with limits related to endangered-species protections. It also discusses opening up checkerboard and landlocked parcels. A second order reverses Biden-era restrictions on traditional lead ammunition and tackle, prompting immediate protest from groups including the NRA.
