It is, depending on how one defines the term “higher.”  When I went to high school in the deep south tragically many years ago, some of the students drove jacked-up pickup trucks, gun rack in the back window with a coupla shootin arns.  If one did that today, it would cause an immediate lockdown or panicked evacuation.  There was a good duck-hunting lake near that school where guys would sometimes go out and pop a few tasty foul before school.

 

One can also play a bit with the definition of the term hunting.  I spent much of my time in my third year of college hunting for a bride.  Found her, married her, still married to her a third of a century later.  She was far more valuable than the education I took out of there.
