The Legislature’s Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife on Wednesday voted to reject four bills presented this session that would have afforded some hunters the opportunity to pursue game on Sundays. It’s the latest setback for Sunday hunting advocates in Maine, as these were the final bills concerning the issue up for consideration during this legislative session. The only pending action that remains is a Readfield couple’s appeal to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court after their lawsuit to allow Sunday hunting as part of Maine’s landmark right-to-food amendment was dismissed in November.
