I feel that the game need some time to recover from the hunting pressure.

As it is, deer numbers are down from what I can see in the last few years. Sunday hunting will only make things worse.
Do you really feel this way? Or is this just a cover for a religious based objection to Sunday hunting?
No offense to you personally, but as much as I find the religious objection distasteful and offensive, at least I can understand a deeply religious person making it. This "day of rest for the animals" argument, by comparison, is nonsense and simply makes folks sound like morons. Or worse, dishonest and insincere.
We are dealing with the same crap in Virginia. At least here, the Farm Bureau is brave enough to cite the bible and the need for folks to rest and not to hunt on the Sabbath as its defense of the Sunday hunting ban. That the sabbath is actually on Saturday seems to have been lost on them.
