“national wildlife refuge”

For the first time since its inception, America’s first National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), the Klamath Basin, is dry. Despite being established for waterfowl conservation purposes by Theodore Roosevelt, millions of migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and other essential wildlife species will not have anywhere there or at neighboring Tule Lake NWR to rest, refuel and prepare for their migration.

Continuing his efforts to increase access to public lands, Secretary Zinke will open more than more 251,000 acres to new or expanded hunting and fishing opportunities across 30 national wildlife refuges just in time for the 2018-19 hunting seasons.

Continuing its effort to improve public land access for hunters, the USFWS has announced that it will open or expand hunting and fishing opportunities on 60,000 acres across 10 national wildlife refuges.

U.S. Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt announces the historic opening and expansion of over 850 hunting and fishing opportunities across more than 2.3 million acres.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has condemned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Proposed Rule that would ban lead ammunition on 48 new distinct hunting opportunities across approximately 3,000 acres of National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). 

The NRA-ILA has partnered with SCI, Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation, and RMEF and filed motions to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the USFWS decision to expand hunting and fishing opportunities.

The new 2018-19 Federal Duck Stamp is now available for purchase online, at many sporting goods and retail stores, and some post offices and national wildlife refuges.

Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced a new rule to expand access to hunting and fishing opportunities on more than 1.4 million acres of public lands across the country.

Folks, this may be the dumbest poacher I've ever seen. His alleged actions are so unfathomably stupid that I wouldn't even believe them to be possible if not for the photographic evidence.
