The amendment passed with nearly 61 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. It was one of 12 constitutional amendments on the ballot in the midterm election.

The amendment was supported by a coalition of hunting and fishing groups, as well as by the National Rifle Association. Opponents argued that the amendment was unnecessary and that it would lead to an increase in poaching.

However, supporters argued that the amendment was necessary to protect the rights of hunters and fishermen. They said that the amendment would ensure that these activities would continue to be allowed in Florida, even if the federal government were to restrict them.
