No Sunday hunting is ridiculous. Here in WI, the gun opener is always the Saturday before thanksgiving and goes 9 straight days. Closes At dark on the Sunday day after thanksgiving. That's what I've always know and it works just fine.
No Jab.

Our area looks like a dandelion field with fresh posted signs, gets worse every year. Can’t imagine asking to hunt on Sunday.
My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

Hard to imagine there are so many outdoorsmen opposed to more opportunities for hunting.
Argue loud enough about it and maybe we can all lose our opportunity to hunt/fish/trap.
This is what is happening to us from within as prospective trappers/hunters find other "opportunities".Pcr2 was right as he compared the crossbow debate to this. Stay positive,if you are against Sunday hunting,don't go,but for the people that see it as a way to truly advance what we love-welcome the prospect of more time.Sunday hunting for me would be great on the public land I hunt,to take my two grandaughters-getting them off the couch with their phones.

The Game Comm. Has a tuff job trying to get people hunting. "Opportunities" can be defined in several ways when it comes to hunting. Is it available days or places to hunt? Not much sense having the days if no where to hunt, and visa-versa.

As for the Saturday opener, I'm not opposed...yet. I've heard it's more or less an experiment. And could be changed back if the desired results don't turn out as planned. So it's a wait and see.
That's what they said when the allowed crossbows in archery season for even those who are perfectly capable of drawing a compound or tradition bow. They claim more opportunity for all ....everybody had the same opportunity before. They caved to those who wanted an easier way when the saw the increase in license sales. One more example of the "Everybody gets a trophy" society we have become.

I was under the impression they were going to require written permission for any entry on private land. Must have caved in on that, as a landowner I wish they wouldn't have. We have had problems with trespassers almost every year for the forty years I have been in the woods. Got to the point I quit hunting and couldn't stand to be in my own woods. Have had stray bullets whiz over my head both in the barn yard and working in the fields, I don't need that bs, that's a guaranteed trip looking for the perpetrator.
If you have trespassers that didnt get your verbal permission what makes you think requiring written permission would change that. You need permission now just not written.

Look at Ohio's laws, and penalty's That doesnt answer why written is any better than verbal. Permission is permission. Trespassers will trespass either way

NC passed sunday hunting just a few years ago and gradually decreased restrictions. My memory isnt the best but I believe ,At first it was strictly archery hunting private. That's led to public land firearm hunting on sunday and they're about to allow migratory birds to be harvested on sunday as well.
This is the first year my county requires written permission for hunting . Seems like a inconvenience but hasnt been a deal breaker . I definately saw the need locally due to our population spike. Most see getting written permission as a pain but I use it to my advantage. A few days before Christmas I'll take a small present or card by the landowners house. Thank them, chat for a while and get the upcoming years permission slip signed. That small gesture can open alot of doors.
