Default RE: Thoughts on Sunday hunting bans

I was an ignorant western when I moved to the Mid Atlantic. I've been arrested for hunting and trying to register deer on Sunday. Even though I have graduate degrees in abstract subjects, I guess I am illiterate, or maybe it was the 30 years of hunting ,trapping, and fishing on Sunday after church that through me off - actually I checked the traplines before church, and may have inadvertently taken game before also. God bless the western half of this great nation. I am religious, and believe that everyone should take up the cross, drop the yoke and follow Jesus. A great part of Christian belief is meditation on the Lord's word. I've found that deer hunting provides a great opportunity for this. While reading or rather glancing through all the posts on this subject - either I didn't notice or missed a post on a solution to this problem. If my count is right, currently there are 13 states in the East and South that disallow hunting on Sunday. If it started as a blue law or not, it is and will spread west - most people don't hunt. It’s an attractive ballot action - many people feel threatened by hunters in the fall even if they don't leave their cars or are on Nation Park property. Hunters need a strong organization to take a stand on this issue - for all of us, even the western hunters. State PACs I don't believe are a solution for this issue - lessons learned are lost to easily. Most likely the NRA is the solution but do they know that this issue exists? In any case keep the Lord first; this issue shouldn't be a conundrum for a Christian.
