If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I also agree. Why should this be incorporated into our constitution---in fact is hunting or fishing a constitutional right???? Probably not since local governments can determine where you may hunt or fish and also charge a licensing fee to do so. Let's not conflate constitutional rights with laws---they are two different levels of governance.

If I have a constitutional right to fish, can I do it your property???? Any public property??? Can I use a firearm in downtown Orlando to shoot pigeons???? As above, you can see where bizarre interpretations could be dangerous.
