I think they added 3 sundays to hunting in 96-99 and then opened it for all around 2000....about the time they did the Saturday opener...just can't find any info. seems like a hundred years ago

New York: In 1996 New York opened Sunday hunting on three Sundays during deer season. Within five years the law was changed to allow all Sunday hunting, except on specifically designated land

So much for separation of church and state. It would be a cold day in anyplace when I sit home to watch a ball game over hunting or shooting.

Come on Bill -Never say never!

Someday when all your tags are filled early, there are no scheduled shoots and for some miracle the Bills are having a decent year.....

See you chose you words carefully to avoid the lightening bolt. ".....cold day in anyplace...."

You are welcome.

I had no idea that there were some states that don't allow hunting on Sundays. Why do they not allow hunting on Sunday? I have always hunted on Sundays in NY since I started hunting in 1991 but wztirem's post says it was not open till 1996. There were always plenty of other guys out there hunting too so were we all breaking the law?

I think the line ran north and south around Syracuse....I grew up in the mohawk valley....always could there....but West of that line above.....no sunday hunting. Left over blue laws

In Texas, for example, blue laws prohibited selling housewares such as pots, pans, and washing machines on Sunday until 1985. In Colorado, Illinois, Indiana ...

  I never even know who is playing any games.  I walked into a bar one night and was like man it is dead in here what is going on the bartended was like um the superbowl.  I was was like oh woops.  Never really got into sports just not my style.  To much to see outside in the world.

[jimbodwb]

Wow, I never heard of Blue laws. They never taught anything about it in my school. I am glad they didn't also. They are the silliest things I have ever heard of. They are the complete opposite of the freedom from forced religious views that the constitution gives us. How were they ever allowed? I am glad I did not have to deal with them. I guess the no alcohol on Sunday's before noon thing would be like that. I always thought that was stupid.

[Lawdwaz]

Huh?

Yeah , everyone needs a beer around 8 am on a Sunday morning !  ')'>http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/picker.gif[/img]

The no sunday noon IS a left over blue law....and just for the record...the constitution guaranteed feedom of religion...NOT freedom from religion....there is a difference

[jimbodwb]

I understand now that the no alcohol before noon Sunday is a leftover blue law. I was saying that I had never heard it referred to as a blue law before. And the first amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". That means that no law can be made using religious beliefs of any one religion because that could prohibit the free exercise of another religion or no religion at all. It is obvious that the blue laws were made because of the Sunday worship of Christianity and that is unconstitutional. I have no problem with people practicing any religion they want but I was just saying that I would hate to live in a time or place where the government restricts my actions based on religion.
