RE: Sunday hunting?
Sunday hunting is legal in Texas. You can bowhunt white tail just about 4 months of the year.
Get a lawyer and take it to the Supreme Court, sounds like a religious infrindgement upon your civil rights. Otherwise they should close hunting on a Tuesdsay if the idea is to reduce the available hunting hours.

RE: Sunday hunting?
Just some background on the subject. I spoke to numerous state and local officials a few years back concerning no Sunday hunting in Ohio. It was started back in the 1930's
and backed mostly by the state Farm Bureaus. Farmers were constanly being interupted on weekends by city folk that wanted to hunt and did not have a place to go. The farmers wanted a day of piece from the hunters not so much for the game to rest a day.
Remember, back then our federal and state governments did not have as much set aside public use lands as we have today. This is why you see these Sunday laws mostly,
if not all, east of the Mississippi river, in farm country. Thank goodness Ohio opened up a few years back. Since then, we have set new archery and gun deer kill totals. Heard managment has benefitted.
I encourage you all to organize and lobby local and state politicians to consider the positive impacts of allowing Sunday hunting. More $$ spent by hunters is good for all especially the state income tax revenues. I bet there is a lot less resistance than they think there will be to this issue in most states. Have your representatives look to Ohio for a most recent example.
Now for something completely different... for all you Monte Python fans, Kentucky rifle opens Saturday! I am a bowhunter at heart but can not resist DEER CAMP. I love to cook, so fresh venison in camp in my dutch oven and iron skillet makes the guys happy. I will hunt with my 270 WSM, but deer or no deer it is about all that you get from DEER CAMP!
