Upcoming hearings -GOAL alert

[Spartan65]

Just received an email from GOAL that the legislature will be holding hearings on new hunting regulations including possible Sunday hunting. As a guy who works most Saturdays this would be huge to helping a lot of us get out there more.

Thanks for sharing.
I’m very interested in the Sunday hunting.

Never understood the “No Hunting on Sunday” BS In this state? You can do just about everything else these days, why not go hunting???

There are a lot of bills other than what is listed on the email.
The website is slow loading so I didn’t dig deep but I think I saw 3 bills relating to Sunday hunting. Anyone dig deep enough to figure any of this out?

This is a "not this shxt again" situation. They've been talking about Sunday hunting here for years and years. Doubtful it will ever happen.

That's probably true.

It's also true we'll never get it if we stop asking

The Blue Laws used to be so strong the supermarkets weren't even open on Sundays and had very limited hours if it all on Saturday. Even liquor restrictions were much stronger until about a decade ago.

Which was funny because I remember Dunkin Donuts having cigarette vending machines in the entry vestibule and no one batted an eyelash.

Agree 100% I’m over 60 y/o and remember all the insanity of the old days.

Yup, it gets submitted every year and goes no where.

@Mesatchornug is right though, if we don’t keep asking our overlords we will never get it.

I would really like to see the archery hunting setback go to 150’. It is probably more likely to get passed in spring when the deer are chowing down on the legislatures spouses ornamental planting.

I fully agree.....cant get it if you don't keep working on it.

Just seems so silly, cause if I want to hunt Sundays I can drive a half hour north or an hour south.

I'll fully be honest, now that I'm older it really doesn't matter.....Sundays are time regroup a lot of times

Same here. I have been able to hunt on Sunday for a few years now but I never have. I usually spend them regrouping and extra time with my wife.
