Hunting in Georgia and in some other states has been made a state constitutional right. 21 states have made it a constitutional right with Mississippi and Alabama's voters voting over 80% in favor. Hunting in the US seems to cut across all economic and social strata compared with the UK which may be largely related to the millions of acres of public land access. California and Rhode Island have the constitutional right to fish, but not hunt. Arizona rejected the initiative in 2010. If public land access is indeed a factor, consider that Georgia is the 21st largest state in land area. It offers over a million acres of state land accessible. This doesn't include National Forests or military lands. Fort Stewart alone offers over a quarter of a million acres to hunt. Scotland is roughly the size of South Carolina (40th size in land area)and England is the size of Alabama (30th). England's heritage of hunting is centered on the elite which makes it unfortunately easy pickings for class warfare. Gil
