U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday to expand access to federal lands and waterways after hosting more than 100 hunters, anglers and outdoor industry representatives at a Rose Garden dinner.

One order, Reinvigorating America's Hunting Heritage, directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to permit hunting of species not covered by federal endangered species provisions within Castle Mountains National Monument and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve within 90 days.

The hunting order also instructed agencies to propose policy changes that would enable hunters to use traditional lead ammunition and tackle, reversing Biden-era lead-free requirements the Fish and Wildlife Service adopted at several national wildlife refuges.

Trump's second order, Restoring American Saltwater Angling and Recreation, meanwhile, commands Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to shift recreational catch reporting from mail-in surveys to mobile applications and to develop a five-year strategic plan on fisheries economic data within 180 days.

It also directs the commerce, interior and agriculture secretaries to "suspend, revise or rescind regulations that overly burden boaters, anglers and outdoor businesses" within 30 days and evaluate existing permitting authorities within 60 days to transition to multi-year permits with a minimum term of three years and a presumption of renewal.

The new orders coincide with reports that the Fish and Wildlife Service issued a directive on September 14 reinterpreting the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to state that the killing of an endangered animal is only illegal if it was intentionally targeted.

Public lands belong to the American people, and hunters and anglers finally have a president who acts like it. These orders open more than 92 million acres, scrap the Biden-era lead ammo and tackle bans, simplify fishing permits and put veterans and school archery programs first. Access should be the presumption on federal land and waters, not a favor bureaucrats hand out.

For people to hunt and fish, animals and fish have to be readily available. However, the administration's hostile actions, ramping up access and removing protections for endangered species, will have the opposite effect, ensuring wildlife declines and overfishing goes unmanaged. These actions reflect the White House's aggressive stance toward environmental issues.

Reopening federal lands and waters to hunters and anglers restores a birthright that bureaucrats spent years locking behind gates, paperwork and pointless lead ammo bans. Multi-year permits, mobile catch reporting and real data beat mail-in surveys and blanket closures every time. Outdoor recreation drives $1.2 trillion and 5 million jobs, so access is conservation and economic common sense.

There have to be fish in order to go fishing, and stacking access on top of already declining stocks is a recipe for empty water. Better data is welcome, but it means nothing while regulators green-light overfishing and ignore the millions of fish that die after release. Pair that with gutting the Endangered Species Act and this is industry favoritism dressed up as heritage.
