I spotted this at another site and figured that y'all Mass. boys would like to hear about it . Hammer your state Senators and Representatives with calls and e-mails and Sunday hunting can be yours . Good luck ![/align][/align]Massachusetts Bill Would Lift Sunday Hunting Ban[/align]BOSTON, MA-A proposal currently before the Massachusetts legislature would allow Sunday hunting statewide.[/align]House Bill 4517, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Anne Gobi, would repeal the state's ban on Sunday hunting. The bill was introduced in late November and is currently awaiting action in the state's Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security.[/align]Thirty-nine states currently allow Sunday hunting, while 11 states prohibit or heavily restrict it. Supporters say Sunday hunting provides an additional day in the field, which can be a great opportunity for sportsmen and sportswomen who work during the week.[/align]Massachusetts sportsmen should contact their state representatives and encourage them to support HB 4517. To contact your representative, call (617) 727-7030 or use the "Legislative Action Center" on the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Web site at
www.ussportsmen.org.[/align]In related news, the Maryland Legislative Sportsmen's Foundation celebrated the third year of Sunday hunting in the state by hosting its annual deer hunt on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. The 25 deer harvested during the hunt were donated to the Maryland Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry program.[/align]
