President Donald Trump justified reducing Utah's Bears Ears National Monument by over 1.2 million acres by claiming hikers, hunters, and anglers were locked out. "You can't go hunting, you can't go fishing, you can't do anything," Trump said. Records also show Utah allows hunting and fishing with proper licenses. Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance legal director Steve Bloch accused Trump of "lying or spreading misinformation." Bears Ears was designated a national monument in 2016 by former President Barack Obama.
