Congress passed legislation banning the hunting of snipe birds within the united states. the range of the snipe is quite limited; they are found primarily in only one state, although they migrate annually to several nearby states. hunters from throughout the united states have traditionally traveled to the snipe's home state during snipe hunting season, bringing considerable revenue into the state. a state statute allows hunting of snipe during a two-week period in november and charges a $50 license fee for state residents and a $250 fee for hunters from other states. the bag limit is one snipe bird per licensed hunter. is the state statute allowing snipe hunting valid? a yes, because states have the right to control their own natural resources and wildlife. b yes, because the power exercised is reserved to the states by the tenth amendment. c no, because of the supremacy clause. d no, because of the commerce clause.
