Trump signs orders loosening hunting restrictions, teases Outdoors Act ‘2.0’
The orders direct agencies to expand access, reverse some Biden-era limits and modernize fishing data, with outdoor recreation generating $1.2 trillion a year.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders at the White House Rose Garden to expand hunting and fishing access on federal lands and waters.
- The "Reinvigorating America's Hunting Heritage" and "Restoring American Saltwater Angling and Recreation" orders aim to reverse restricted access to federal lands, addressing a national decline in hunting the White House cited.
- These measures reverse a Biden administration rule prohibiting lead ammunition on certain refuges, while calling on federal agencies to adopt a "presumption of accessibility" for public lands.
- National Shooting Sports Foundation President and CEO Joe Bartozzi called the orders a "tremendous victory," noting outdoor recreation generates $1.2 trillion annually and supports 5 million jobs.
- Officials have 180 days to propose new policies, with specific deadlines ranging between 60 and 365 days as agencies devise programs to cultivate hunting for veterans and young people.
