The Indiana Right to Hunt and Fish Amendment, also known as Public Question 1, was on the November 8, 2016, ballot in Indiana as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was approved. ...

 

Question 1 permitted the constitutional right to hunt, fish, and trap to be subjected to regulations promoting wildlife conservation and management and preserving the future of hunting and fishing. Furthermore, the amendment designated public hunting and fishing as the preferred method of wildlife management.

 

The amendment was added to the Indiana Bill of Rights.

 

Citizens of Kansas voted on and approved a similar right to hunt and fish amendment on November 8, 2016.

 

The people have the right to hunt, fish and trap, including by the use of traditional methods, subject to reasonable laws and regulations that promote wildlife conservation and management and that preserve the future of hunting and fishing. Public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife. This section shall not be construed to modify any provision of law relating to trespass, property rights or water resources.

It can absolutely pass. Jersey hunters need this for their future if they truly care about the sport.

 

You guys have a large federation of sportsman's clubs. Why isn't it starting there?
