Massachusetts Bill Gives Sportsmen Extra Day In The Field





A proposal before the Massachusetts legislature would allow Sunday hunting statewide.

House Bill 4517, sponsored by Rep. Anne Gobi, D-Spencer, would repeal the state’s Sunday hunting prohibition. The bill was introduced on Nov. 17 and awaits action in the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security.

Currently, 39 states permit Sunday hunting while 11 states prohibit or heavily restrict it. Sunday hunting provides an additional day in the field, which can be a great opportunity for sportsmen and sportswomen who work during the week.

Several states, including Maryland and Ohio, have recently eased restrictions on Sunday hunting. Ohio has found that it is the day with the fewest hunting complaints.

Take Action! Massachusetts sportsmen should contact their state representatives and tell them to support HB 4517. Let them know it gives sportsmen more time to enjoy hunting with their families. To contact your representative, call (617) 727-7030 or use the Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org.
