There is no Sunday hunting in parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Basically this is in areas that are mostly private land and bible areas.
I am a rural person and it does not really affect me as I still have 6 days to hunt.............but having said that I am completely FOR Sunday hunting. In this day and age when most people are from urban areas it is rediculous that Sunday is closed to hunting. As mentioned this only leaves one day for them to hunt. It limits weekend tourism in rural areas, which is self defeating for the rural people and their local economy. I also would like to know why others have the right to tell me I can't hunt on my own ranch on Sunday. Total B.S.!!!
Lastly, since we are apparently free to follow our religious beliefs regardless of which religion it is, why should the Christian Sunday have any bearing on what any person choses to do for recreation on Sunday? What makes hunting on Sunday a no- no, but it is OK to go out and catch fish and bash them on the head? Day of rest argument perhaps.........when did hunting become defined as work?
If Sunday hunting is personally objectionable to you or you do not believe in hunting on Sunday for what ever strange reason, then by all means don't do it. Others should have the choice to hunt on Sunday if they wish to. Heck, you can even get an afternoon hunt in after church.
What is next? The Seventh Day Adventists honor Saturday as their day of Sabbath and some Jews honor the Sabbath from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday...........if freedom of religions is really OK, perhaps hunting shouldn't be allowed on Saturday either and urban people would have ZERO days to hunt on the weekend.
