I wonder if this might do the trick. We get an initiative on the ballot that isn't so much about hunting policy per se, but that takes commission appointments out of the hands of the governor, and into the hands of the voters (by region). In other words, the commission becomes an elected body, each representing their particular region (based on geography, not population). I THINK the governor's power to appoint commissioners is a matter of statutory law, not something enshrined in the State constitution, which I THINK means it is something that can be changed via the initiative process. If it's more an issue about representing local people's interests, rather than specifically about individual hunting policies or a right to vote, it might stand a better chance of passing. As I understand it, a constitutional amendment our State has to go through the legislature at some point, which means a "right to hunt" amendment would be DOA. I am not a lawyer, so would love to hear thoughts about that from someone smarter than me.
