(Hartford-AP, Apr. 11, 2006 7:30 PM) _ The state moved closer today to scaling back its long-time ban on Sunday hunting.
The Senate voted 27-to-8 in favor of legislation that would allow limited bow and arrow hunting of deer on private lands on Sundays.
The bill awaits action in the House of Representatives.
Supporters say it's a conservation measure to address a serious environmental impact because of overpopulation of deer.
Some senators say they have safety concerns about providing hunters another day in the woods.
The ban on Sunday hunting dates back to colonial times. But the Department of Environmental Protection claims an extra day of hunting is needed as a wildlife management tool to help cull the increasing numbers of deer that are flourishing in some parts of the state.
The bill allows the DEP commissioner to designate bow hunting on Sundays on private lands, with permission of the landowners, where there is an overpopulation of certain wildlife.
