I think yrs back a LOT of farmers didn't want Sunday hunting as there were a LOT more CO OP farms in the mix, and they had a stronger voice in this ruling staying this way
Sunday for many farmers was a DAY of rest and , that was there main reason, plus most back when, were more religious than I think many folks are today in general


also remember if you go back a ways., MOST all folks, or the majority of folks all worked more traditional jobs with traditional hours, working Monday thru Friday

where as now we have a LOT more folks working all sorts of hrs and days

so many view time off on weekends NOW more as THERE time

I personally don't have an issue one way or another, but in the past preferred to have sundays off
but my reason was I hunted every day I could for 3 months straight , and I needed some reason to MAKE me take a day off LOL

so this law gave me a day off to rest up or travel to other area's HAHA!
