Apparently Indiana Is One of the Worst States for Hunting in America
A recent study has revealed the best - and worst - states for hunting in the United States, and Indiana did not fare well.
Factors to Determine the Best and Worst States in America for Hunting
A number of factors were considered in the study, as revealed by SportsmansGuide, including public lands for hunting, the duration of hunting seasons, and how diverse the game species are in the state.
Many States Offer Plenty of Hunting Opportunities
There are many states that offer thousands of acres of huntable, public land. There are states with a large vaiety of game animals, and there are states with expansive hunting seasons.
Which States Take the Top Spots as Best States for Hunting?
It's no big surprise that Alaska would top the list. The state has a massive expanse of huntable land, and variety of game species, including large game. The number two and three best states for hunting are North Carolina and Alabama, respectfully.
Which State Is the Worst for Hunting in America?
California ranks as the worst state for hunting due to access issue for the public, as well as regulations regarding hunting.
The states with the lowest rankings for public hunting access generally face a few shared challenges: limited public lands, shorter hunting seasons, and often, higher competition for available hunting spaces.- SportsmansGuide
Where Does Indiana Land on the List?
Indiana fell flat taking the number 3 worst state for hunting in America. The study attributes "densely populated areas" as a factor impacting the amount of public-use, huntable land.
