Between the country's founding in 1776 and the mid-1990s, Vermont was the only state with a right to hunt and fish in its state constitution. The trend of constitutional amendments establishing individuals' rights to hunt and fish began in 1996, when Alabama voters cast their ballots in support of what was called the sportsperson's bill of rights.[1]
As of November 2020, a total of 23 states had passed constitutional amendments proclaiming a right to hunt and fish, starting with the 1996 vote in Alabama. Voters in one state—Arizona—rejected a constitutional amendment in 2010.[1]
