BREAKING: FBI Launches Investigation After Secret Service Discovers ‘Hunting Stand’ with Direct Line of Sight to Where Trump Exits Air Force One at Palm Beach Airport​

The FBI launched an investigation after the Secret Service discovered a hunting stand with a direct line to where President Trump exits Air Force One in Palm Beach, according to Fox News.
The hunting stand was reportedly set up months ago.
“Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News.
“No individuals were located at the scene. The FBI has since taken the investigatory lead, flying in resources to collect all evidence from the scene, and deploying our cell phone analytics capabilities,” Kash Patel said.

In Florida you're supposed to tag your Tree Stand with your name and phone number...how do they know it's been there for months and not been all over this earlier? Might be a legitimate Stand, matters not if it is or isn't, someones going to get the anal probing of a lifetime.

I've got 3 permanent stands, my primary stand I nicknamed "The Widow Maker" for good reason.
Sure am glad that the Orange Man Good would never be anywhere near my hunting grounds. That's not something that would happen here in the middle of nothing burger.

Other than USDA, I HIGHLY doubt there's any hunting allowed that close to an airpor.t

FWIW -

AI overview.

Hunting with firearms is strictly prohibited in the immediate vicinity of airports, including near Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). The FAA has established buffer zones around airports where attracting hazardous wildlife is restricted. Local and federal authorities, including the FBI and Secret Service, have also investigated incidents related to hunting stands near the airport.

Federal and state regulations
  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): The FAA recommends a separation distance of 10,000 feet (nearly two miles) for hazardous wildlife attractants around airports that serve turbine-powered aircraft, like PBI. This is to prevent bird strikes and other wildlife hazards to aircraft.
  • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC): The FWC regulates all hunting activity in Florida. While they issue permits and regulate hunting lands, activities near an airport are still subject to federal and local rules regarding safety and security.
  • Airborne Hunting Act (50 CFR Part 19): This federal law prohibits shooting or harassing wildlife from an aircraft.

Hunting restrictions
  • Firearms: The discharge of firearms near an airport is considered a serious security risk and is not permitted.
  • Archery: While not explicitly prohibited by the FAA, bowhunting near an airport would likely be restricted by county or municipal ordinances. A game warden would have to be consulted to determine if it is permitted on any specific private property.
  • Private Property: Even if a property is privately owned, it is not exempt from the rules and regulations governing hunting and wildlife management near airports.

Current investigation
In October 2025, a hunting stand was discovered near Palm Beach International Airport, overlooking where Air Force One parks.
  • The stand had a clear line of sight to the runway.
  • The FBI and Secret Service launched an investigation.
  • Authorities have not yet identified any individuals involved.

How to check legality
If you are a landowner with property bordering an airport, you should contact the following agencies to determine if hunting is permitted:
  • Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC): To ensure compliance with state hunting laws.
  • Local County and Municipal Planning and Zoning Departments: To check for local land use restrictions near the airport.
  • Airport Manager: To ensure compliance with airport-specific regulations.

This sounds a bit odd to me. As mentioned how could this have been missed? That hunting stand seems a bit crazy for someone to do to try to shoot the president.

Might be some kids "Tree Fort" and the USDA guys hunt anywhere there are animals, even in the yard between two houses...were they be turned into covert assassins, they surly should be feared.
Someone might have set up that Stand to take pictures from, including AF-1 now while I can see the possible security breach, it might not be nefarious...USSS will get to the bottom of this, and someone will have a sore ass.

Why Treestand Accidents Still Happen and How to Prevent Them

L.J. Smith is an expert witness that trial lawyers want on their side. Smith, 72, a former Mississippi wildlife officer, has investigated 550 treestand accidents, given 100 depositions in treestand lawsuits, and testified 30 times when injured hunters took treestand manufacturers to trial in...

No one labels the illegal tree stands we take down on our farm property. We cut them up if possible and leave them at the base of the tree.

FWIW - I have some questions.

Is there a deer run close enough to that stand that would explain why a stand is located in that spot? Are there enough tracks in the immediate area to show movement morning and night to justify putting a stand where it is?

For those who don't hunt. An effective hunter doesn't put his/her stand wherever. There is a method behind the, you know, the thing. Ask me how I know.

Deer tracks/a consistent run, favorable wind direction, and quiet access to the stand.
Good back cover for concealment. And all that sort of stuff.

What I'm getting at is this is the sort of stuff an investigator should be looking at.

And then, there's the being so close to the airport thing to consider.

From the information that I have read and the pictures of the so-called stand that I've seen.

Yeah. I'm just going to say...
God Bless President Donald J Trump.

MAGA!
