Comments
This would in my opinion just be a way to get all hunting on Sunday. First, coyotes, then something else. This is how government does it. An attempt was made to open up Sunday hunting a few years ago, and failed. Give all animals a break one day a week, even if we do not take one.
Great, Gene—so you'd support a bill legalizing Sunday hunting, and eliminating, say, Wednesday hunting?
(You are aware of hunting seasons, aren't you? Most animals get a break for most of the year.)
So Gene is fighting to end all the Sunday hunting that already exists, hound chasing, fox hunting, bear hunting, bird hunting, fur bearing animals, etc.
Heck, coyotes are already being huntend in the fox preserves every Sunday of the year. I bet Gene runs inside the wire in the competitions. His arguement is a lie.
The coyotes are out of control...
It is nice to have one day a week when we can walk in the woods without worrying about trespassing hunters (or one with poor aim and a high-powered rifle). As Gene says, Sunday hunting was proposed several years ago and failed. Leave it alone.
If a hunter is willing to break the law and trespass, why wouldn't he break the law and hunt on Sunday, too?
(Also, if I want to hunt coyotes on my land, how is that any of your business?)
