Looking for Martians? Head to Nebraska

January 13, 2004 (Lincoln, Nebraska) — Nebraskans could soon have a constitutional right to hunt for Martians, and Bigfoot, too, not to mention Osama bin Laden.

Those are just some of the amendments state Senator Ernie Chambers has filed to a bill that would add the right to hunting to the Nebraska constitution.

Chambers isn't serious about hunting Martians in the Cornhuskers state. But his amendments could prove to be a roadblock to passage of the right to hunt constitutional amendment.

Backers of the proposal say it's needed to prevent animal rights activists from ending Nebraska's hunting tradition.
