Secretarial Order 3447 is expanding hunting access on national parks and federal sites. Here's what it means for hunters and how this Interior Department policy could open new ground for you.
If expanded federal hunting access opens new ground near you, make sure you're geared up for it. Public land hunting across national parks and federal sites often means more remote terrain — bring waterproof boots that can handle whatever the federal map throws at you, and a waterproof dry bag to protect your gear in unpredictable backcountry conditions. A blaze orange vest is non-negotiable during firearms seasons on public land. Browse all public land hunt essentials at Venator Hunting.
