Personally I don't mind the Sunday ban. I won't hunt then even if it's repealed. I know some of you only have Sunday off and I feel for you but like Christmas day I just don't hunt on the day of rest. Call me old fashioned (and proud of it) but I appreciate the heritage of traditions we have here and don't mind continuing them.

Opening day is first saturday of October. Usually it's almost too hot then too. Sweat and meat spoilage make an earlier date not as attractive to me. NC has an earlier season and I've never desired to go down there with the snakes and bugs. I would love a Sept. hunt out west where it's cooler though.
