Ya really, if your hobby is aviation... you get a pilot's license! You might even get to go to flight school and get a real education in your hobby.
If you like to hunt, you get a hunting permit for the animal/season you like to hunt. You also must make sure your guns and bows are legal, and right for the game you are hunting.
Fishing, same thing, and if you want to fish in the neighboring state (at least where I am) you must get a license there.
Scuba diving has to be licensed/permited in America, but I did it in New Zealand and Australia's Gold Coast after a 1 hr. crash course as a tourist, they don't even require that. Do they have more scuba diving deaths? probably not, I don't really know BUT do they have more diving culture? probably.
These are hobbies which are considered eccentric endeavors, by some. And I'm sure a bunch of people pissed and moaned about having to get licenses in their time.
