    All six checked with my votes. I’m concerned though that it was close on #3 and #4. They will try again, of course.

    This amendment does not make sense to me. I though we already had the right to hunt and fish. That is why we have to buy hunting and fishing licenses. There is something that does not meet the eye here. I believe Henry Cole is right on this one.

    @Henry Coe. irresponsible comments just cause confusing and strife

    The ballot summary was as follows:[1]

    “ Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to preserve forever fishing and hunting, including by the use of traditional methods, as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife. Specifies that the amendment does not limit the authority granted to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission under Section 9 of Article IV of the State Constitution.

    SECTION 28. Fishing, hunting, and the taking of fish and wildlife.—Fishing, hunting, and the taking of fish and wildlife, including by the use of traditional methods, shall be preserved forever as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife. This section does not limit the authority granted to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission under Section 9 of Article IV.[

    @ Henry Coe. I agree. very bad idea.

    I think Amendment 2 makes is so the state cannot regulate wild life populations or set limits to include fish. Over the long term, this could be a very bad idea.
