Actually, the past year some of the 11 states have modified Sunday bans. However, we believe in Sunday hunting for all, not just bow hunters and/or private land owners.
In addition to our dove effort in NY, we also are engaged in reforming Sunday, public land, firearm hunting bans.
We ask persons who buy New Jersey non-resident as well as resident hunting licenses to sign our petition. If you are a non resident, include in the comments that you buy a NJ non-resident hunting licence.
And, as always, inform others in your personal network about this petition and the website NJ Sunday Hunting For All.
Here is the link to this petition:

Last year the DEC opened its revised mute swan plan for public comment. Little or none of the actions set forth in this plan required legislative approval.
The public comment period was open for 45 days and the DEC received over 8,000 comments, mostly from animal rights advocates. NY Dove Hunting submitted comment, wrote the Legislature, the DEC, and the Governor.
Before the public comment period was completed, Senator Avella and Assemblyman Cybrowitz put pressure on the DEC by introducing legislation which would prevent the DEC from implementing its mute swan strategies. Defying all common sense, this bill passed with only 25 legislators voting against it - all from the assembly; which means the entire republican majority senate also voted anti DEC.
NY Dove Hunting than created a petition which was signed by about 350 persons. We submitted the petition to the governor, along with video evidence of the impacts of mute swans. In December 2015, Governor Cuomo did indeed VETO the legislation.
However Avella and Cybrowitz were not willing to take no for an answer. They reintroduced the bill, with minor modifications (* see below), and it passed again. We are in the process of verifying the vote, to determine how many legislators changed their vote the second time around. We believe (ONE) senator (may) have voted against the bill the second time.Check our websites at a latter date for this information.
The second bill was also VETOED by Cuomo earlier this week. Cuomo's veto message for the second bill was: "The circumstances that necessitated my disapproval have not changed".
(*) 1. Prioritize non-lethal methods when dealing with mute swans 2. DEC must hold a MINIMUM of two public hearings before taking any action.

To block a measure that would…
Be harmful to native wildlife Be harmful to wetland habitats Be harmful to the conservation fund Blocks new hunting opportunity Allows Animal Rights Organizations to over-rule the DEC Emboldens animal rights organizations and sets new precedents on policy decisions Would you act on that chance? Here is your opportunity. Sign this petition and ask others to do the same!
