NC only Sunday archery?
For those of you in normal states, some background may be in order. Sunday hunting with a firearm is prohibited by North Carolina law. The NC Wildlife Resources Commission prohibits all other hunting on Sundays.
H12 Falconry on Sunday
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed 2009 hunting regulations contain a proposal to allow hunting on Sunday only for falconry. This proposal is for the birds. If falconry is permitted then archery should be included. My response to the proposed regulation is below. Anybody else want to hunt on Sunday?
-----------------------------------
Expand Sunday hunting opportunity to include both falconry AND ARCHERY. NC General Statue 103-2 permits hunting on Sunday provided a shotgun, rifle or pistol is not used. Archery and falconry are permitted under the statue and should be permitted.

Just remember when you do..there goes that mandatory free day. A sanction to spend time with the family or recharging your batteries.
It's a double-edged sword.

RE: NC only Sunday archery?
We are very fortunate here in NC...Bow season opens up about September 8-10th...You may hunt with your bow (or a firearm until January 1st)...
Historically, our limit has been 6 deer a year...Either 2 or 4 bucks depending upon where you live...This year, we have unlimited doe tags and they are free...We don't get snowed in like some states do...Sounds like a pretty good deal to me...
I can't remember a season in the past 20 that I didn't kill my limit of deer, I have killed 8 already this year and will probably take a few more...
How much shorter do you want the season to be???? We will lose part of our season if Sunday hunting is allowed....There are plenty of other things that a guy can do with his Sundays...I spent this past Sunday shooting down mistletoe with my 16 year old daughter, using a .22 pistol....
Frankly, as a land owner, I have enough problems keeping tresspassers off my land the other 6 days out of the week...
The NC Wildlife hired an independent research firm to look into this last year....Most NC hunters voted against it...
