In Reply to: kinda off topic...but what the hell is the reason behind no Sunday hunting? posted by One Hole on February 12, 1999 at 19:23:42:
Here in Massachusetts we also can not hunt on Sundays! It is a left over law from the people who settled this area, many of the first settlers here were Puritans who didnt allow hunting or any other work on Sundays. Have you ever seen the Disney classic called "Johnny Tremain"? It takes place in colonial times and a scene or two shows how strict the Puritans were. Also up here...we can not hunt crows on Thursdays! I have not been able to find the reasoning behind this! Also up here this is no shooting what so ever on Sundays except on a state recongnized range! So even for those living in the very rural areas with no neighbors, they can not shoot on their own property on Sundays! Of course, this state has so many Democrats that I sometimes feel as if I am the only non-democrat around!
