Bipartisan legislation introduced in Sacramento would ensure millions of dollars generated by hunters are reinvested directly into California’s state wildlife areas for habitat management and hunting access.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has issued a new order directing federal land agencies to expand hunting and fishing access while cutting back unnecessary regulations. The move reinforces hunting as a priority use of public lands and could open the door to more seasons, clearer rules, and fewer access restrictions for sportsmen.
By refusing to hear the appeal, the Supreme Court left standing a 10th Circuit ruling that permits corner crossing across six states. For hunters, the decision keeps large blocks of public land legally accessible in areas dominated by checkerboard ownership.
