C-41: Recognize and Preserve the right of Montanans to hunt and fish (2003 HB 306)
Type: Constitutional Amendment
Summary
Gary Marbut, President of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, authored this Constitutional Amendment to place a new section in the Constitution reading "The opportunity to harvest wild fish and wild game animals is a heritage that shall forever be preserved to the individual citizens of the state and does not create a right to trespass on private property or diminution of other private rights." Proponents argue the amendment is necessary to prevent attacks on hunting and fishing in Montana.
