The bill every one was counting on is now sitting in the senate Agriculture committee. This is where it will sit until it is dead again. Unless there is some pressure from someone higher up for passage this bill is dead and so is the last chance for this year.

Yall ever tried to use the death rate of hunters on saturday as an example. I would imagine alot more people have hunting "accidents" since most the guys would be out sat because its the weekend. And most people cant just break away in the middle of the week cause of work.not sayin that none do.so there-fore adding the day might spread everyone out a lil more...i would imagine that when the ban is lifted that everyone will go sunday the 1st weekend if not both days.

The bill is dead as all bills to remove the ban. Died in the Senat agriculture committee by the same people who kill it each year. Until the members are changed it will not be removed without a court case. Even the Governor supported removal of the ban on private property. Oh well try again next year.

I am getting really pissed off at the BS that this bill is having to go through.

If one of the reasons is relig. then why couldnt it be discrimination based on religon? Dont get me wrong i am a christan but agree I would rather have my kids hunting in sunday then off getting into trouble. Just a thought but to me that would be discrimination based on your religous prefrence.
