force Native peoples onto reservations where they would engage in sedentary farming instead of hunting (ignoring that the land was often only marginally fertile)
do you think this kind of environmental factor has a hand to play in hunting being very popular in the rural united states, more that it seems to be in other countries?
Dunno. A lot of the US is very fertile, so I think I’d probably point to low population density and an unbroken ‘frontier’ culture of hunting for sustenance, unlike Europe, which restricted hunting even as far back as the Medieval period.
