It lowers the pressure on the animals for two days instead of eliminating it for one and gives people an opportunity to hunt on the weekend. For the multitude of people for whom Saturday is their holy day, in places where there is no Sunday hunting they can't go hunting unless they take time off work. No, it's not as easy to enforce as not letting anyone go hunting on Sunday, but it's a good compromise.

If Sunday is the FIRST day of the week, "and on the seventh day he rested", wouldn't Saturday be the so called "DAY OF REST" noted in most religons? And if the United States is truely a place of "freedom of religon" is it fair for church go-ers to force thier views onto the rest of society based on Sunday being THIER holy day? Very bad argument if you ask me! A better argument for/against Sunday hunting would be the rights of 'others' to be in the woods NOT hunting or private property owners closing thier land to weekend hunting because of the landowners religous beliefs! Hmmmm. . .something to think about. I have always had a question about Sunday & religon . . .

The Wildlife Resource Commission surprised me when they came out initially and recommended the lifting of the ban. From the get go it’s been clear that the lifting of the ban would have to come from the legislators and not the Commission. They have always been careful not to make a comment either way so this morning actions was surprising. Then after the recess they came back and reversed themselves which sends even more of a mixed message. The legislators are not even in session right now so they have not made any decision on the report. The News Report from WRAL makes it sound like this matter is settled which it is not. The Governor was the catalyst behind the study so he certainly, or anyone of the legislators, can push this forward.
