White House Reviews Expanding Hunting And Fishing In Wildlife Refuges [1]

"The Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed opening 14 refuges to new hunting or sport fishing access."

"A proposal to expand hunting and fishing access within wildlife refuges advanced this week to the White House review stage.

Put forward in May, the proposal would open or expand hunting and fishing in 32 states, including by opening 14 national wildlife refuges to new hunting or sport fishing access.

The proposal from the Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday entered a review by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget."
