So I was looking at the election results (*sigh* American politics...), to see how Oregon's ballot initiatives ended up, and took a gander at the other states' initiatives, as well.

One of the... what I'd consider odd... amendments up for consideration to a number of the state constitutions was a constitutional right to hunt and fish. Anyone here in one of those states, who can clue me in on what was driving those amendments? It can't possibly be knee-jerk "oh noes... Obama's gunna take our gunz," is it?
