As previously reported, on February 3, the House Committee on Federal and State Affairs passed House Concurrent Resolution 5008. HCR 5008 has been scheduled for a vote by the full Kansas House of Representatives on Monday, February 22. Please contact your state Representative TODAY and politely urge them to SUPPORT the Right to Hunt and Fish Constitutional Amendment. Please click the “Take Action” button below to contact your state Representative.
HCR 5008 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that will affirm that it is a right of the public to hunt, fish, and trap as such:
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.
Hunting, fishing, and trapping are not only cherished American traditions, but paired with science, are an integral part of wildlife management and conservation. Unfortunately, misguided extremists have been trying for decades to incrementally or outright ban hunting, fishing, and trapping. This amendment guarantees that sporting traditions that you have enjoyed will still be around for future generations of Americans and that regulations will always be based on sound science.
