I find it amazing that in the states where it is legal to hunt on Sunday(I think 43 of the 50 states), you don't hear any complaints.
many of those who oppose sunday hunting
are: bible thumpers
farmer types who hunt M-F and dont want people hunting game on sunday that they plan on hunting on monday
and many dog runners
as for those who claim its crowded as is,
they should find better spots
I hunt PA, 3c and 4d
parking areas on main roads may have 3-4 cars in it on opening day and 1-2 cars on other days
parking lots/access points off main roads usually through backroads barely have any cars,
i went out 3 times this year on saturdays to 1 place in 3c, parking area that can hold 10 cars or so did not have any cars at all.
sunday ban started as a way to prevent freed slaves and working poor from hunting as were the intentions of many blue laws.
Bible thumpers took up sunday ban as it was in their favor,
today its moving toward the antis who support sunday bans.
if one doent believe in hunting on sundays, then dont hunt on sundays,
as stated. land owners are free to continue sunday bans on their property,
they shouldnt try to impose their outdated views on others
and i generally go to church saturday nights over sunday,
guess i should push for a saturday ban
