In WV you cannot hunt on Sunday on Public land but Private you can. I was told that the Public Land was lifted and you can hunt on them as well.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Back when we did have that law it kept more of the citiots from trying to lease land because it wasn't worth it to them to hunt one day a week because of work. With two days now they're everywhere. I regularly have 5 or 6 people from the city ask to lease my land every year to hunt. I always ask if they think other people could trap it while they hunt and the answer is always NO. Trapping runs right along with hunting seasons here. I've lost almost 80% of my trapping from farmers that are my lifetime friends because of hunting leases. I don't blame them most are getting old and the extra money is needed for ever rising taxes. I just can't pay what these groups of guys put up for leasing. I've tried trapping what little public land there is but too many hunters on it from the city. All animals are shot or stolen. With a thruway exit in the little town 7 miles down the road. This gives them quick access to my parts near me I was all for hunting Sundays until I saw the repercussions in my little neck of the woods.

It's by municipality here. Thankfully it was charged in my area and most others years ago. Only thing that sucks is that areas with the ban get a late goose hunt and areas with Sunday hunting close up season just when the birds are getting here.
Just happy to be here.

Sunday hunting has been illegal in PA since the 1800's. It's one of the last of our Blue Laws and the ban was originally pushed for by the religious sector. The Tman Christians should be able to understand that. I remember when doing anything but worshiping and resting on a Sunday was considered a sin. Back then if a housewife dared hand out laundry on a Sunday it caused the neighborhood biddies to chatter and squawk for weeks!
Their have been multiple attempts to overturn the ban but the farmers oppose that and they are a powerful group in this state.
We've been able to hunt for coyotes, foxes, crows and on non-commercial game preserves for quite some time. In the last few years Three Sunday hunts were added to the fall seasons.
Eh...wot?

powerful church lobby either want your but in a pew or not making the people in the pew jealous you were out hunting. and they apparently don't have farmer church 6pm Sunday or a service at 5 on Saturday.

Iowa churches often had the entire Congregation drive the section after the Sunday service in the late 40s into late 50s. Fur taken was sold for the Church coffers. Small & large game became a feast or was donated to less fortunate or elderly.

It saves alot of game here in Maine. Not just the big game but the small game as well honestly. I dont mind a mandatory day off Rediculous, with that mindset just think how much game would be saved with a total ban on hunting. If you want a day off just take one. Why should it be mandatory?

You would have to feel for the guy that worked 6 days a week and had Sunday off. and if you were the coal mine who let him have Sunday off you also wanted him spending what he had earned buying food for the family at the company store.

With no date on the NRA article, impossible to tell when it was but it is definitely not current for North Carolina. We do have some restrictions on Sundays, most notably no migratory bird hunting on no use of deer dogging on Sundays. The following is straight from our current regulations digest. On Sundays the following apply: » Hunting with firearms between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. is prohibited except on controlled hunting preserves; » Hunting migratory birds is prohibited; » The use of firearms to take deer that are run or chased by dogs is prohibited; » Hunting with a firearm within 500 yards of a place of worship or any accessory structure thereof is prohibited.

At least the hound hunters are forbidden in NC on Sunday. Makes as much sense as forbiding left handed red heads with a limp.

Fishing seasons? What's that? ... no such thing here. there is always something open like cats, pan fish , non-game fish species , but trout , walleye on lakes , bass have closed spawning. something about the way Sconies are wired for putting away food the DNR feels the need to set limits to catch and bag on almost everything. a friends dad loves fishing but was not raised with any sort of catch and release if it can reasonably be cleaned he will and he won't fish if he has to catch and release even though he loves fishing. works out for him the has a lot of old friends , not that he is a spring chicken himself but he is still getting around where many of his old friends are not so he he brings them fish al cleaned and they have fish fries at different peoples houses. the fish gets eaten and he can go fishing again the next day. I am sure he isn't the only guy here wired like that.

Religious belief aside I miss the "blue laws". There is a real benefit from having a day of rest for the individual. You just can't run 24/7 without something breaking down. JMO but I think society benefits if we recognize that biological fact. Sitting in a tree stand is pretty much relaxation, be it Saturday or Sunday.

The Sunday hunting bans had/have nothing to do with game conservation Exactly right. Season durations and bag limits are how game conservation is managed, not via blue laws.

I don't think that blue laws are the right answer to your problem if you or other members of society can't figure out when you need a break. Blue laws in the past included all stores being closed on Sundays because people had to work for those stores to be open. I remember those times and would hate to go back to that.

I remember the blue laws , families used to go to church and spend the rest of the day together, having a large meal and spending time with each other. Michigan used to have some counties that allowed Sunday hunting and others not. Ohio had no Sunday hunting while I was growing up. I don't remember when , but do remember being very happy to hunt on Sundays. I guess about the same time just certain stores were open on Sundays , mostly Lawson's !

You just can't hunt with dogs on Sunday in Virginia. It was a compromise. Yet their dogs which they fail to catch on Saturday still run all over the place on Sundays, and the dog handlers are all over the place looking for them.
