The Constitutional Right to Hunt

I can buy a lifetime hunting license in Virginia. This is available at a pro-rated basis, depending on age. This seems to me to be an excellent idea and some other states have availed themselves of this lifetime licenses option as well, including: AL, CA, FL, IA, IL, KS, LA, ME, MI, MN, MO (small game only), NE, NY, OK, SC (small game only), TX, and WV.

On another note, Virginians have a state-defined constitutional right to hunt and fish (enacted in 2000). Some other states that have embraced similar constitutional rights include:

• Vermont - enacted in 1777


• Alabama - enacted in 1996


• Minnesota - enacted in 1998


• North Dakota - enacted in 2000


• Wisconsin - enacted in 2003


• Louisiana - enacted in 2004


• Montana - enacted in 2004


• Georgia - enacted in 2006

Am I missing any?
