I do not need the government telling me what I can and can't do any more than they already do. Thanks for keeping us updated on this, and your points are well taken.

The only reason to ban hunting on Sundays is to defer to religions (primarily Christian) that hold that day in special regard. If you're Jewish or Muslim, this knocks out a hunting day that's perfectly legit for hunting in the eyes of your faith. How can this ban be anything but government showing preference for a particular faith? I used to live in Virginia, where they occasionally discussed Sunday bans of this and that, and the rationale was always that it was supposed to be a "day for family." I don't know about you, but I don't need the government telling me when and how to be with my family. This strikes me as a First Amendment issue, plain and simple.
