Title: Historic hunt (for me anyway)
Post by: Raineman on October 16, 2011, 03:09:00 PM
Today was the FIRST day in modern hunting history that a person could legally hunt in Carroll County Maryland on Sunday!!

So to inaugurate this very significant moment, I took my Black Widow out for yet another sit. My bow was so excited it almost beat me out the door...   :D .  

What a beautiful morning! What a great feeling!

While my outing was uneventful as far as game goes, it was really a special time for me. It is one of the most significant hunts I have enjoyed in a while.

I was part of a lot of folks who worked hard to get Sunday hunting passed in my county, and today we finally were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. First of 5 bow Sundays allowed this season.

Way to go!
Virginia has that law, still. Imagine how I felt last year, with the mail volume dropping, that my route had gotten so light that I would have to work six days a week. The day off, of course, is Sunday.

It has since gone back up so that I have every other Saturday off. I resent that law, however.

The critters probably enjoy that day of rest. Why not Thursdays?   :banghead:    :banghead:     :banghead:

Nice.  Hopefully next year here in PA we'll also have Sunday hunting.

Never have understood the ban on Sunday hunting and I am a devout Christian (Anglican deacon in training in fact).

Glad you enjoyed your hunt.
