Re: Sunday Hunting
I think the issue is the principle of it and how it is worded. The law bans all Sunday hunting, then exempts it for foxes and coyotes. NJ does a similar thing with their firearms laws. Firearms are banned in NJ, and then there are exemptions listed (including when hunting, etc.)

Re: Sunday Hunting
Thanks. I think it would also be helpful if you contacted the NRA-ILA . and told them to get behind Senate Bill #1202.

Re: Sunday Hunting
So the law allows less than 3% of hunters to hunt on Sunday for only but only for varmints that nobody eats and most successful people trap. That’s like saying you can get your LTCF but you can only carry a pistol made from 1920 to 1960 that is .32 cal or smaller. It is an artificial limitation that serves zero purpose.

Re: Sunday Hunting
In addition to this current law being a Prohibition. It suppresses hunter recruitment and the sale of hunting licenses. This hurts conservation funding. I want to hunt on Sunday. But I also want young hunters to have time to hunt and SUnday is often the only time for them to hunt. I want working people who might have to work on Saturday the opportunity to hunt. I want hunting numbers to increase, I want hunting license sales to increase. This increases the likelihood of new members joining the NRA. Sunday Hunting benefits non-hunting gun owners as well as non-hunting lovers o the outdoors and wildplaces. The Prohibition needs to come to an end.

Re: Sunday Hunting
Has not the farming advocacy groups been the biggest opponent of Sunday hunting? If so, has provisions in proposed law been made to allow farmers to close their property to Sunday hunting but allow it the other 6 days of the week without losing participation in Game Commission programs?
Let's go Brandon!!!

Re: Sunday Hunting
The Farm Bureau is the biggest obstacle to Sunday hunting. Every PGC meeting their legislative rep complains about deer damage while opposing Sunday hunting. They represent a small percentage of the farmers but must have some big bucks to spread around that keeps the reptiles in the legislature from voting for Sunday hunting. They even oppose Sunday hunting on SGL and state forests. They know that is how it was fully implemented in other states. Once people saw all the terrible things about Sunday hunting didn't happen it was no longer an issue.
Sticks and stones will break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.
