You do not lose anything Keith, you should still go into the woods if
it passes, you gain by hunters killing more yotes, supporting
conservation etc.
I believe I have the high ground in thinking of the animals,
being=C2=A0free from hunting pressure one day a week. Keeping my own bias
nature out of it.
Faulted by design aren't we,

I would disagree for the following reasons. Hunting is limited
by things like the fledging =C2=A0process and how much stress the
population can endure, etc. so hunting cannot be done for most the of
year. But hunting season is one of the best times to be in the woods
and it would not be fair to nature enthusiasts to lose both weekend
days of this unique season.

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Having thought about this a bit, I think legalization of=

=C2=A0
=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Give or take a few, there are 52 Sundays in a year of wh=

=C2=A0
=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 But in contrast, those who must work Monday to Saturday

=C2=A0
=C2=A0
=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Therefore I think it only just that hunting of big game=

Sunday be legalized. Non-hunters who must work Monday to Saturday
inclusive would on the other hand have a valid case if the numbers were
reversed; 6 Sundays without hunting and 46 Sundays with hunting.

I can see the argument from both sides.
=C2=A0
=C2=A0
To add to Dave's comment according to a 2007 letter by the NS
federation of Anglers and Hunters Tony Rodgers, in the Nova Outdoors
magazine=C2=A0no non-hunting person has been killed or injured in a hunting=
accident (not to say it couldn't happen).=C2=A0
=C2=A0

It sounds like most of the arguments are centered towards humans
enjoying recreation in the woods on Sundays, as opposed to giving
animals Sunday to rest. I agree that hearing gun-shots while out
walking in the woods, can be a little unnerving though it's unlikely
you're in danger, especially if you're wearing orange.
If the noise and disturbance factor is the main issue, perhaps the
season should be open for bow-hunting. In the same letter Tony Rodgers
suggests opening up Sunday hunting for bow-hunters. No noise, reduced
range of harm, and better safety record than firearms.
=C2=A0
Perhaps allowing bow-hunting on Sundays could be a reasonable compromise.
