Florida Voters Approve Right to Fish and Hunt

Amendment 11 passes by a large margin

What does this mean for Florida residents?

Florida voters have approved Amendment 11, which guarantees the right to fish and hunt in the state constitution. The amendment passed by a wide margin, with more than 60% of the vote. This is a significant victory for sportsmen and women in Florida, and it ensures that their rights will be protected for years to come.

Amendment 11 adds language to the state constitution that states, "The right of the people to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife shall be forever recognized and preserved." This language is similar to that found in the constitutions of many other states, and it provides a strong legal foundation for the right to fish and hunt in Florida.

The passage of Amendment 11 is a major victory for the Florida Wildlife Federation and other groups that have been working to protect the right to hunt and fish in the state. These groups have argued that hunting and fishing are important traditions in Florida, and that they provide a valuable source of food and recreation for many residents.

The passage of Amendment 11 is also a victory for the Second Amendment. The right to hunt and fish is closely tied to the right to keep and bear arms, and the passage of Amendment 11 helps to ensure that both of these rights will be protected in Florida.
