Column: New Sunday hunting law on the horizon?

SUN JOURNAL • April 9, 2022

Sunday hunting in Maine or not? I can think of few other more tenacious outdoor issues that have been so perennially debated over the years, yet never resolved to anyone’s satisfaction. Even hunters themselves have been divided over this issue. There have always been compelling arguments on both sides of the question. So what’s the solution? To their everlasting credit, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the State Legislature took this hot potato in hand and did what any responsible stakeholders should do: They sought as much well-documented information and public opinion as possible before proceeding with Sunday hunting legislation. ~ V.
