A new report from 25 groups and businesses looks at the impact of national monument designations on hunting and fishing opportunities, as well as local economies. The report, National Monuments: A Hunting and Fishing Perspective, was led by Trout Unlimited, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
In addition to sharing stories from sportsmen, sportswomen, and business owners, the report offers eight principles that can lead to meaningful support from hunters and anglers for the creation of new national monuments. The principles include safeguarding fish and wildlife habitat, maintaining reasonable public access for hunting and fishing, and providing assurance that authority over fish and wildlife populations will remain with state management agencies.
The report focuses on the designation and management of four newer national monuments, including Browns Canyon in Colorado, Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and Rio Grande del Norte in New Mexico, as well as Montana's Upper Missouri River Breaks.
