I believe the commerce clause, was intended for commercial purposes, not recreational purposes. I.E. commercial fishing. The ninth circuit has been notorious for their far left agenda for some time.
The Dormant or Negative Commerce Clause, which prohibits a state from burdening interstate commerce, is not directly found in any 41 constitutional provision. Instead, courts have inferred the Dormant Commerce Clause from Article I, Section 8, which states in part, "Congress shall have Power ... [t]o regulate Commerce ... among the several states."5°

S. 339 makes the commerce clause irrelevant and reaffirms the states right to discriminate against NR hunters anyway they see fit.

In reference to the commerce clause Sec. 2(b)...

S. 339 Reaffirming the authority of States Regulate hunting and fishing activities

A BILL
To reaffirm the authority of States to regulate certain hunting and fishing activities.

    (b) Construction of Congressional Silence- Silence on the part of Congress shall not be construed to impose any barrier under clause 3 of Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution (commonly referred to as the `commerce clause') to the regulation of hunting or fishing by a State or Indian tribe.

    • (1) to limit the applicability or effect of any Federal law related to the protection or management of fish or wildlife or to the regulation of commerce;
