A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of amending the constitution to include the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife. A "no" vote is a vote against amending the constitution to include the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife. Question 1 would permit 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, public hunting and fishing would be the preferred method of wildlife management under the amendment.[1]
The amendment would be added to the Indiana Bill of Rights.
Citizens of Kansas are voting on a similar right to hunt and fish amendment in November 2016.

No hidden agenda.
This amendment should get a YES vote from all Indiana sportsmen.

The fact that PETA and HSUS are all against this should be enough of a guide to answering "yes" on this question.

So I'm reading a lot of hunters want to vote no. And I see their point. "Section 39, 2-C is very detrimental. That's the only change. They want to put hunting and fishing is the "preferred" way to manage our wildlife. Currently that's legally the only way. What they "prefer" is for those padding their pockets (i.e. insurance companies) to now have the means to kill as many as they want. It has nothing to do with i can't afford a liscense but want to feed my family. Vote NO! We have the right already. It doesn't need amended to open up more friggin loopholes!" That was a guy on Facebook. My opinion right now is. This law is kind of pointless. They will never take away our right to hunt, so putting this ammendment in may interfere with other laws making hunting and fishing way more Complicated then it already is. It may turn hunting and fishing into another government hoop we have to jump through to enjoy.

High fence issues have already been settled by the legislature and the courts. That ship has sailed, and this amendment changes nothing on that front.
Up for vote is a constitutional amendment, not a detailed list of statutory code.
However, bringing that topic into question, unfortunately is one of the ways the AR groups could try to twist facts, haze up the issue, and deceive sportsmen.
