Arguments for Sunday Hunting in NC
- Opening Sunday for hunting would allow ‘working’ hunters more opportunities to take game. Especially if Saturday is effected by inclement weather or family obligations take precedent.
- Allowing Sunday hunting would increase the chances of hunters to supply more meat for their families, thus saving them money by extending their food budgets.
- There would be more use of expendable goods: gasoline, scents, restaurants, and ammunition.
- There would be increased income to Hunting Preserves and Guides.
- There would be an increase in out-of-state hunters. This would provide increased income to local economies (Preserves, guides, hotels, gasoline, and restaurants) as well as to the NCWRC by way of an increased number of out-of-state licenses.
- Increased income for game processors.
- Opening Sunday to hunting will allow children who have Saturday school or extracurricular activities (football, soccer, and clubs) to hunt. They would not have to choose between the two.
Opening Sunday to hunting would allow hunters more time to enjoy participating in a way of life that many hold dear.
We wish to point out that this issue is not a “deer hunting” only issue. Although deer hunting is often the example argued, there are other game animals in the state.
