I saw online Indiana is passing a right to hunt and fish law / adding the amendment to our state constitution. I'm not exactly sure how this will affect us or what it will change. Perhaps one of you more politically inclined fellas can give some input on this.

Regulation will remain in the DNR hands. What this will do is make it extraordinary difficult for any anti group to get hunting and fishing outlawed.

I've not heard anything about it, but any possible impact on hunting bans for poachers?

I'm just guessing but I'd bet even money this is more about a right to put some stinking turkey barn on every spare 10 acres in the country than it is about the right to hunt or fish.
You just get more support if you make people think you are doing something for them besides stinking up 10 square miles.

No. Its actually about PROTECTING Hoosier's hunting and fishing heritage. Like stated above, it stops bunnyhuggers from enacting anti-hunting/fishing laws.
Plain n simple....a GREAT thing for outdoorsmen

Two seperate issues Right to farm will never pass I hope just for that very reason Cafos by definition is a farming practice and would inadvertitly be protected as well we need to watch what is protected by the right to hunt also IMO |

Just to be clear...Indiana legislature has passed an amendment to the Indiana constitution guaranteeing the right to hunt, fish and trap. The amendment will be on the ballot this fall after a decade of work to get to this point. It's important that everyone makes sure they vote FOR the amendment as forces will be out there voting against it.
Bottomline: it is not the law of the land yet and it needs your help to get finalized.

Well if that were the case it would make it a lot easier to hunt turkeys, just saying. |

I have to admit, I'm a little confused on how the proposed law protects hunters from much of anything except for an outright ban on hunting and fishing.
My interpretation of the amendment is follows:
1: Hunting and fishing is constitutionally protected.
2: The Indiana government can write rules regulating hunting and fishing.
Point 2 is the one that more or less, makes the amendment toothless. It appears to me that a future bunnyhugger general assembly can restrict each hunting and fishing season to as little as one day (or less even) effectively eliminating hunting.
I guess I support the amendment, but I think it is more or less just something that makes a politician look good to help him get re-elected and does not do much of anything to protect hunting and fishing.

If the tree-huggers can take away our hunting rights, they will.
What they don't realize is that the vast majority of hunters are more a tree-hugger than they are.

Does this amendment make it legal to hunt bald eagles, or bobcats?
If the answer is no, then how does this amendment prevent a government agency from reclassifying whitetails and bunnies into the same category of protected animal as bobcats and bald eagles?

There's always a way for them to get what they want. If H gets her way, gun manufactures will be held liable for shooting. If they can pass Obamacare as a tax, they can tax ammo to a point where few can afford them.
There's always a way and it's just a matter of time.
