sunday hunting

rutnbuk · Jan 20, 2011

I personally see no problem with folks hunting on Sunday. My Father actually gave me permission to hunt Sunday’s when He saved me by Grace. He also has afforded me other days of the week to hunt so I choose to spend Sundays with my family. However if I had only weekends off I would probably be wearing a lot of camo to Sunday service...heck I do sometimes anyway

!

To the non-believer Sunday is just another day; to the true believer EVERYDAY is Holy...so I see no need for the restriction.

Heck remove all laws and restrictions around Sunday. I do believe that the further this country continues to push God out of the picture...and desires to do things our own way...the better chance one day many will say wait a minute...maybe there is a better way!

Just one undeserving sinner’s humble opinion.

no Sunday hunting Remember The Sabbath Day and keep it Holy

I wish someone would show me where that line is drawn between holiness and being the lost soul. Until then I will be in my treestand

Then shouldn't it also apply to fishing, golf, NASCAR races, football games, water skiing, etc.etc.?

As I recall in Alabama you had to be a certain distance from a place of worship to legally hunt without disrupting the service. Which is only respectfull.
As far as not being able to hunt on Sunday because it is a day of worship it seems like that is discriminant of the Seventh Day Adventist who worship on Saturday.

Yeah but those are the events that serve beer on Sunday...

(I know, not fishing or water skiing)

I believe it should be left up to the individual and not a law.

10000000% agree

The people in the states voted for the Sunday ban in most cases.My home state of Maryland opened up Sunday hunting on private property only in the last 5 years or so,it was voted on and when it passed it went into law....

I live in state that does not allow it now ,cant stand it. It is not up to the state to enforce religous beliefs, and that is what they are doing!!

Those of you hollering about respecting the sabbath, would you also be in favor of a law requiring you to be in church on Sun??? No difference.

And all this time...I thought the Sabbath was Saturday :huh:

I'm all about being in church on Sunday. But how can one say certain things are okay to do on Sunday and others aren't? Reminds me of the Pharisees in Jesus' day.

Isn't it Ironic? The state is liberal...yet has a this blue law. It also is one of the highest producers of Porn!

Riding into the PRD I heard on the radio the deer hit count was 758 for the year in Durham county alone and this was in October. The announcer speculated the only way to reduce the herd was allow rifle hunting on Sunday.

There is no OH sales in Chatham county Ga.on Sunday

Worship and hunt as your convictions dictate. I think it's called freedom, cling to it.

"""Sunday hunting is illegal in 11 states. What are your thoughts on sunday hunting?"""

I hunt on Sundays.
I also now know there are 11 states that I don't want to live in.

if someone looked it up, those no sunday hunting laws are prob 100 years old. just leave a good piece of ground between you and the church. i go to church every sunday, and dont hunt now. (used to) ill go to the shooting range, ride motorcycles, what ever. i dont see the problem!!!

We used to not get to hunt here in Ga. on Sunday.

Please enlighten us on this. I am 61 and Sunday hunting has been legal all my life in Georgia.

I don't get to hunt on Sundays, so it doesn't really concern me. That said, I'm glad it is legal because I don't see that it is the state government's job to decide what can or can't be done on a particular day of the week. If they want separation of church and state, then they can't have it only part of the way. They can't tell us "no prayer in school" and "no hunting on God's day".

Well said Ed!

Then shouldn't it also apply to fishing, golf, NASCAR races, football games, water skiing, etc.etc.?

Doesn't happen too often, but I TOTALLY AGREE this time!

Aren't those players and drivers actually "Working"? It IS their job ya know! :cheers:

My dad and I both hunt on Sundays, but my grandfather will not.

I lived in Nc for years and hated the no hunting thing. Working 5 days week and not getting to hunt but 1 day sucked. I think its a stupid law that the bible thumpers should let go.

I have hunted all over GA for the past 70+ years. The ban on sunday hunting has never been enforced on a state wide basis, but rather has been enforced on a county by county basis.

Certain counties have been notorious for enforcing Sunday Hunting Bans. Other counties paid no heed to the matter. It usually depended on how the county sheriffs felt about the subject.

County sheriffs have always wielded great power in rural counties where hunting has predominated.

Earlier in some small cities and towns, the only business open on Sunday would be one drug store.

I don't believe Google can help you determine which counties in GA prohibit sunday hunting. You can get it word of mouth. Trial and error not recommended.
