I know in my district here we had very little non-supporters. Id be curious if dog hunting came into play when some folks spoke out against it. I know you'd have landowners far and wide around here screaming bloody murder if we still had dog hunting. Wonder what effects the eastern part of the state had on this study?

Among hunters it rises to 38%. Needless to say not overwhelming support by any stretch. http://www.ncwildlife.org/news_stories/pg00_NewsRelease/SundayHuntingStudyNov06.pdf The study showed that 25 % of NC Citizens are in favor of allowing Sunday Hunting.

It's up to the people to move this sort of thing... or it should be. Well, I guess if the majority of hunters don’t want it, then that oughtta be it.

The system here requires the legislators as our elected representatives to change this. Currently there is not overwhelming support by the citizens of this state to compel legislators to even attempt to make a change. There isn't even support among the hunters of this state to make this change. It has not been on the ballot nor will it.

In a pinch, that's fine and good. Definitely better than nothing. I can't remember... has this gone onto the ballot in NC yet?

Both of us have been on hunting forums together for sometime and have heard just about every "excuse" as to why we should or should not allow Sunday Hunting here in NC. As you know, I've always tried to keep my arguments factual and civil on the matter although at times I may get pushy when asking for facts rather than "opinions" when it comes to lifting the ban. I've read much of the same posts as you have over the years and quite frankly I don't think there is anything anyone can say that we've not stumbled upon over at the hunting forums. Now here comes my criticism. :) Although the study was pointed towards allowing Sunday Hunting on Gamelands, you're comment here......"Currently with the way things are other land users can get out and enjoy the outdoors with little fear of getting shot. Now I know that even during a hunting day the risk of such an accident is extremely low but we as hunters have allowed this fallacy to be painted of us and in many cases we have contributed to it;"......really has me wanting to ask you a few questions. I'm in control of several hundred acres where I hunt, I am a landowner myself, the other landowners that make up the remainder of the land have turned the land over to us and do not even live on the property. Is it fair to tell a private landowner that because other landowners would like to utilize their land on Sundays you can not hunt on your own land due to the "fear" of them getting shot? I can understand the ban on Gamelands but in no way can I understand the ban on private land. If the land is leased by hunters, ultimately the final say so would be by the landowner. If Sunday Hunting were lifted in no way does this obligate a landowner to allow it. I know of many clubs in SC and GA where even though it's legal the landowners don't allow it. This is by choice. Something I feel everyone should have, a choice, whether to hunt or not. I guess if everything else was still "banned" on Sundays I wouldnt have such a problem with it, but, when a man can stand in line at the grocery store and wait till 12 noon to grab a 12 pack on Sunday, or hit the lake and bassfish, one would think that a private landowner could take his/her grandson out on an afternoon squirrel hunt after church. Thanks for the conversation Moose. Brad Moose,
