Why no Sunday hunting in NC? Its one of those Southern "blue laws", a law whose reasons are somewhat obscure.Most of the opposition to lifting the ban is religious in nature. The following link does a pretty good job at listing the "current" reasons to keep it in place:

Here is another interesting link on the subject:

On the other side:

This one is a commentary out of Connecticut, but pretty much mirrors the thoughts here in NC for lifting the ban-

Now this one is kinda funny (read the comments):

Regardless of what side of the fence one stands, the reasons for or against Sunday hunting follow the same basic thought processes. Would I hunt on Sundays if allowed? Yes . . . unless there is a NASCAR race that afternoon
