Hunters already have the woods to themselves six days a week during the hunting season. It seems only fair that other outdoor users should have one day a week when they feel safe to venture outdoors without fear of being struck by a stray arrow or bullet.

I agree with no hunting on Sundays on public land, but it should be allowed on private land, with permission of the landowner of course.
My fear and this is why I am against this bill is two things: (1) Say it get's passed the problem I see is with people whose lands border public land, it would be very easy to unknowingly or even knowingly continue their hunt onto public land; (2) I am afraid it will open the door to hunting on public land on Sundays. Just look what happened at Collis P Huntington State Park with Bow Hunting. No public notice, no thing. One of the most widely and actively used parks in Fairfield County is now open to bow hunting. Fortunately, there has been no accidents to date, however why risk it? If you want to do something about the deer problem there are quicker and more humane ways to control the population. It's just the towns and the States constantly play this back and fourth game of responsibility.
