This is a concern of mine, as well.  A main point of this seems to be that 
only state, federal, and local law can regulate hunting and fishing.  I 
thought this was the case already!  There is also international law, 
ratified by the federal government (such as protects migratory game and birds).

Does this amendment accomplish anything (except perhaps making some 
legislators look good to their constituents)?  Only 3 lines, but 3 lines 
too many if it has no purpose in reality.
