I commend you for the hard work you guys have put in to this .
In zone 16 fall bow was 42 days , extended bow was 53 days , permit ML was 27 days , permit shotgun was 10 days and winter bow was 26 days . That's 158 days that you are allowed to shoot does . Now take the fall and winter bow season and add Sundays to it and you get another 13 days give or take . I do not remember seeing a proposed bill to cut the number of does killed per year .
I know we have to take does to help out with QDM , but lets face some get a little carried away and I see adding more days to hunt only adding to the problem .
I guess all in all I am kind of for it in a way . If it does not pass that only gives the ANTI's something to build off of .
Man now I'm really confused !
I would like to end this with , I am in no way trying to have a conflict with anyone . I am thankful we have people fighting for our rights to hunt and fish .

i called my local rep. the last time this came up. for me personally i would love to see hunting on sundays archery especially.close hunting on monday would be better for me if its all about giving a day off. its all a time thing and not enough of it for me on the weekends. im sick of using my vacation and personal work days. it would allow me to cut the grass or change the oil then still have some time to sit in the afternoon to enjoy the peace. i think the local gas stations- coffee shops and sports shops would see a better economic reward with hunting on sundays allowed. its about time. the old laws are really just silly!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd have to say I'm against Sunday hunting. The deer like me need a day of rest, besides weekdays are the best time to be in the woods. I already find Saturdays my least favorite day to hunt and Sunday would be lower yet. Besides I need a little rutting action myself once in a while.

I'm opposed to bowhunting on Sundays. Bowhunters in most zones where I live in N.J. are allowed to start hunting deer in mid-September. Doesn't this give them enough opportunity already without hunting on Sunday? They get to hunt 10 weeks before the first gun season opens. I shotgun and muzzleloader hunt only. I guess I would feel differently if I bowhunted.
