\n\nThe White House noted that the order erases years of regulatory actions that targeted lead ammo and fishing tackle.
\n\nIt also “directs the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of Commerce to unlock checkerboarded and landlocked parcels through voluntary access easements, land exchanges, and cooperative agreements that respect private property rights.”
\n\nAdditionally, the executive order “directs the Secretary of the Interior to streamline regulations for authorizing seasonal migratory game bird hunting and to encourage States to promote and expand Sunday hunting on State and Federal lands.”
\n\nDue to years of overregulation by other administrations, until President Trump’s actions, accessing hunting had never been more difficult. Hunting opportunities in the United States have declined due to Federal regulatory overreach, confusing and inconsistent policies, and heavy-handed restrictions.
