Except we already do. Go try and hunt or fish without a license.


I think in MO you don't need a license to trap, hunt or fish if you own over 20 contiguous acres, I don't think that applies for waterfowl, elk and bear.

Las time I checked Colorado ranked #38 for states with residents that have a hunting license. It was something like 5 out of 100 residents. The top five states at that time included Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. I think Cali and Rhode Island had the lowest number of in state hunting licenses.
If I remember correctly Colorado ranked #1 of states with the highest percentage of people from out of state with Colorado hunting licenses. Maryland was close to the top of this list. Lots of people go to Maryland to hunt water birds.
A friend of mine was taking animal law in law school and we were discussing these statistics and we ended up googling.
The results were a mix of interesting but somewhat predictable.

Not really surprised by this most of the population of Colorado is California transplants, hippies, and vegans. Not what it used to be.


I live part time in Colorado and haven’t met an adult that moved here from Cali. By far the biggest number of transplants come from Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. I’ve met a lot of students at CU from Cali. There is a lot.
Lots of hippies and vegans but most of the hippies are boomers that came here 40 years ago. The biggest source of libs come from DC to Boston east coast corridor.
Colorado clearly votes left but doesn’t feel nearly as liberal as the people where I live in Boise.

In lower Alabama I very occasional go fishing with friends over a period of probably about 20 years. We are not talking more than a few days a year for the most part. We have never been checked for a license and I have never seen a boat out checking anything.

I am not big on it whatsoever but it seems odd. There is a lot of activity down here.

It doesn’t matter what they declare or not.


Those are rights as old as the earth.
