## Resource

The government has recently expanded and opened thousands of acres of new hunting ground across the country. National Wildlife Refuges will reassess opportunities for expansion, new stations, and new hunt plans for migratory birds, upland game, big game hunting, and sport fishing. However, its not quite that simple. In this video we review the recent documents submitted to the Federal Register for public comment, how to find changes in your area, and simplified data sets that tell us what changes are really coming. Thanks for listening!
