Badlands Media Special Coverage: 9/17/26 - Trump Signs Executive Orders for Hunters and Anglers

Trump welcomes hunters, fishers, and outdoorsmen to the newly renovated Rose Garden to sign two executive orders that sound almost too niche to matter, until you hear the numbers. One opens up millions more acres of federal land for hunting and fishing on top of 92 million acres already unlocked, while protecting traditional lead ammunition. The other tosses out a widely mocked 10 mile per hour boating speed limit and kills a push to mandate electric only boats, complete with a genuinely wild tangent about electrocution versus sharks. Bass Pro Shops' Johnny Morris, NRA's Doug Hamlin, NASCAR legend Richard Childress, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum all get their moment, alongside talk of restored statues, duck hunters, red snapper season, and a possible Great American Outdoors Act 2.0 on the horizon. Lighthearted, a little chaotic, and clearly a favorite crowd for Trump to work.
