When did America start requiring fishing hunting licenses? How is hunting on your own private land illegal?
The requirement for fishing and hunting licenses in America varies by state. Some states require licenses for both activities, while others only require licenses for one or the other. The first state to require a fishing license was Michigan in 1865. The first state to require a hunting license was New York in 1879.
Hunting on your own private land is illegal in some states, but only under certain conditions. For example, in California, it is illegal to hunt on your own land if the land is within 1,000 feet of a school or park. It is also illegal to hunt on your own land if you are using a firearm that is not registered with the state.
