The last vestiges of the "Blue Laws". Which were in full force and effect until the mid 1970s. No retail sales, no retail alcohol sales, no hunting. Sunday was a dead day as far as doing anything was concerned. I think it was around 1977 when stores were first allowed to open on Sundays, but only during the Christmas shopping season and only if the local police chief approved. That was followed by what is still the current situation with liquor sales. I think it's only after 11:00 AM that they can do that, maybe noon. I don't know if that still requires police chief approval or not.
Hunting on Sunday falls into the same silly theory. As someone noted in a different thread, for some people Sunday is the only day they are off and can go hunting. If it didn't involve evil guns, I'm sure that the ACLU would be all over it. After all, the "Sabbath" is on Saturday for Jews, and Friday for Muslims.

Same reason for laws that still exist restricting or limiting alcohol sales on Sunday.
