New bill wants to allow bow and crossbow hunting in Maine on Sundays

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 15, 2023

Maine Hunters United for Sunday Hunting on Wednesday announced its endorsement of LR 1561, a bill aimed at opening the door for hunting on Sundays with the use of a bow and arrow or crossbow. The bill is the latest in a long series of attempts to alter Maine law and allow Sunday hunting. However, dozens of previous efforts have all failed as lawmakers have resisted interfering with property owners’ desire to enjoy one quiet day in the woods during the hunting seasons.
