Good read. I would be interested in seeing how this would have played out in higher level courts as natural law pervaded the Constitution but was explicitly expressed in the Declaration of Independence-

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the Opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

I was thinking about this exact topic the other day. I can understand having a reasonable limit on game, but to require us to buy a license to use OUR natural resources is ridiculous. The gov't did create the marsh that we take ducks from, or the woods we take deer from, or the waters we catch fish from...... Why in the Hell should we be required to pay them to do it? The same can be said for registering boats. I don't remember the chapter in American history where the gov't dug the Mississippi river or the bay.

And just to show it is not always about something against humans. In Louisiana, the redfish population was nearly killed off in the early 1980s from the "blackened" seasoning boom. Today, the law allows a regular licensed person to catch one to three redfish per day, as long as they are over 12 inches long.... and the law does not allow any commercial fisherman to catch redfish and restaurants are not even allowed to serve redfish (the exception at times is if they are actually personally caught by the owner).
