NTXshooter Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Yesterday was election day. In Texas, there was a constitutional amendment to make hunting, fishing, and the harvesting of animals a constitutional right. It passed with 81% approval. YES!!!. And Saturday is opening day of deer season. What a way to start November.
EngrBob Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 I voted yes as well and will be heading to the lease on Friday for Saturday's opening. Unfortunately most of the deer in the area of the lease are Mule Deer rather than Whitetails so there may be no shooting but it will be great to be out and getting some exercise (and since I turn 68 next week I need it).
planeflyer21 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Sweet how does that work?+1 Does that mean residents do not need a license to hunt?
shepp Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 +1 Does that mean residents do not need a license to hunt?+2 and if so how are they going to replace that revenue
EngrBob Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 No change in license prices but for us senior citizens a license is $7 and I believe the regular license is something like $27.
Armed Eye Doc Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 It doesn't change anything. It tries to make sure nothing does change in the future with the influx of hippies.Comments by Supporters. Supporters of the amendment feel that animal rights groups and anti hunting activists may try to impose stricter limits on hunting and fishing in this state, and supporters therefore seek constitutional protection for those activities as a preventive measure to preserve the opportunity to hunt and fish for future generations.

blue109 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Nipped that one in the bud. About time our team starts thinking a few moves ahead. Well done Texas.
survivalshop Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 I also think it was because the anti hunting a$$holes were interfering with hunters & now they can be prosecuted for interference & fined .
shepp Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 I also think it was because the anti hunting a$$holes were interfering with hunters & now they can be prosecuted for interference & fined .ever better!!
planeflyer21 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 I also think it was because the anti hunting a$$holes were interfering with hunters & now they can be prosecuted for interference & fined .They have had that as a felony in Arizona for some years now. People were doing some dumbass shite to save Bambi.
Magwa Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 They have had that as a felony in Arizona for some years now. People were doing some dumbass shite to save Bambi.same here in Idaho you go to jail for ruining someones hunt or keeping them from hunting.. works for me MR.Mackc thanks for the clarification on the seasons I love mule deer....
GRA Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 I voted for it. I'm glad it passed. From now on if hunters are harassed by PETA or other squareheads while hunting they can go to jail for that too.
