U.S. Announces Major Plan for 42 New Hunting Opportunities Nationwide

The United States Department of the Interior announced 42 "new proposed hunting opportunities across more than 87,000 acres within the National Wildlife Refuge System and National Fish Hatchery System."

The news was announced via a May 2, 2025, press release. 

"This proposal would more than triple the number of opportunities and quintuple the number of stations opened or expanded compared to the previous administration, underscoring a strong national commitment to outdoor recreation and conservation," the press release says.
