Sunday Hunting

[Chickencoop96]

Always love to see this response because it's exactly what I use to defend with. So I'll disagree by saying I've been on both sides of the fence and only one side is right and me and you both know it. I'll also say this though, the lord don't want you in church if you don't want to be there. It's a Christians maturity level and where they stand with God. I'm going to post something a member posted a while back that put me in a different state of mind. A spiritual mind. I don't know who the tndeer member was but if you see this I thank you sir. I needed this so I took pictures of it, to remind myself who I need to be. Also I want to say thank you Lord for not making excuses on crucifixion day.

I'm telling you man, it's still wrong to make a law solely based on religion. that's radical. if TN made that law. id be up a creek without a paddle because I work a full time job, go to College full time, and raise 2 girls with my wife. and most of the time I get to go is usually on a Sunday. so you still cannot convince me that keeping folks from hunting on Sunday is right.

That's great but is your Worldly freedom as important as your salvation. What exactly are you a slave too. Have you ever ask yourself that. I'm not trying to offend you bud, but it's important knowing what's first in your life. Do you have what I'm talking about. If not pm me I'd love to tell you about it.

No it is not, which is why I am saved. I'll tell you exactly what's first in my life< My Children and Wife. I don't think the lord would have given them to me without Intentions of me putting them first. (hence Full time Job and full time College) what you're telling me is " hey since you don't get much time, you need to give up hunting and go to church."

Brother you need to read your Bible. God, Jesus should always be first in your life. The reason you have a wife and 2 girls is because of him. What I'm telling you is they look at you as the head of your home and as a leader of that home church is the most important thing. It's the bride of the savior. Let's say I take my kid to church he feels the spirit move but he doesn't do nothing because it may embarrass him because dad don't go to church and when he doesn't he's a dry bone. So he doesn't make a move. So then we leave and there's a terrible accident and my son dies. Where do you think my son goes, also who's hands is his blood on. You guessed it my son looked at me as a leader, I failed him, he goes to hell and the blood is on my hands. It's real friend and it's serious. Don't take me talking to you about hunting on Sunday out of context. It's okay but the reason for the law was for God. It may be when you make the excuse of hunting instead of churching even though you say your saved, someone else may not be and you have become a stumbling block.

It is a blue law that needs to go away. The same people who support No Sunday Hunting will likely support nothing on Sunday.

Maybe, they will let you count or milk the cows if you have a few.

It is about control and that they want more freedom than you.

Prove me wrong.

I personally don't have a problem with no hunting on Sunday. I've hunted in Virginia and didn't mind it there either honestly I hardly ever hunt on Sunday. My thinking is the animals we pursue need their day of rest and I've never really had much luck on Sunday. I guess it has a lot to do with me trying to be obedient to the Lord and not let hunting become an idol to me. I'm not saying that to condemn anyone on what your priorities or idols are, it doesn't matter to me, I'm responsible for me. What is strange is the fact that if we mention taking prayer out of school or taking the 10 commandments out of government buildings everyone is in a tizzy over "can't take God out of there". Try to take 12 hours of hunting away from me to honor the sabbath and oh boy do the responses change.

that's all fine and dandy until you're like me and have very limited chances already to go. all I'm arguing is the no hunting on Sunday Law is a bit too radical. my timeclock and responsibilities won't stop until he calls me home. I cant just take a day off work whenever to go hunting. my bills don't stop either brother. Also, most of my luck has been on a Sunday.

Well bud if you go hunt on Sunday it's because that's where you want to be and that's fine with me. Just giving you some food for thought. I'll also say it's obviously very important to you so good luck and I hope you kill a stud.

In SC there is no Sunday hunting on WMA's, but private land is open all the time. As I tell my wife, the nice thing about America is that we can vote with our feet.

No hunting on Sunday cuts down 50% of most folks hunting.

I can't prove you wrong but that sure wasn't how it started. Maybe that's where it has ended.

Sounds like a great rule to me. Ever heard thou shalt have no other gods before me. What do you think that means. The lord set one day aside for rest and for you to worship him. To put him first. He gave you hunting and he could easily take it away. Hunting sounds like it has become a god. Thank about it you said you may not comply because how much it means to you. Sounds like you have it on a pedestal. Not judging you by no means I hunt on Sunday at times also. We just need to see where our fruits are, and where we stand as men.

Agree!

I assure you brother Me and my girls are very aware of the lord and his ability to move. I made sure of that. Also, just to clarify, if you think it's ok to make such a thing a law, you might need to read your Constitution. So, with that said, say I do go to church and do nothing else on Sunday( which I do from time to time) 0 time goes into outdoor rec. Can't quit College, Definitely cant quit working, seems a bit extreme for me to just not go all year for 4-5 years don't it? so seeing that I already make time for Worship, Work, School, and Family. I just like to be able to hunt when the opportunity arises. and if that's a Sunday then I shouldn't be restricted. that's all I'm stating.

Absolutely it does

 

[Hduke86]

I sure wished I was off on Saturdays and Sundays not for the hunting but for the simple fact that it would allow more time to be with my family. I'm off on Mondays and Tuesdays 99% of the time. While the hunting woods being empty are great I sure as heck miss being at church with my wife and kids on Sunday mornings. I can honestly say if I had the weekends off that I would do way less hunting than I do now just for the simple fact that I've already missed a ton of time with my boys from being at work and when I'm off they're at school.

If that's the way you feel about it buddy, then by all means, do it. Like I said before if your sitting on a pew and can't think of anything but sittin in a tree stand, the lord don't want you their anyway. I know that sounds blunt, but it's a fact. Please don't take my text as arguing like I said before I hunt Sunday's on occasion also. I just am not sure that I disagree with a law that you do.

well I respect your opinion. I do not agree with that law though and feel fortunate to live in a place that does not have it. also good luck on your hunt brother. be safe and God be with you.

I think Pennsylvania is no hunting on Sunday for private and public.

I can understand this, but the point of this thread is hunting on Sunday and the fact that some states have made laws that infringe upon peoples rights by infringing upon their first amendment rights to try to ensure people go to church vs. hunting even if they don't want to or are not Christian.

One belief I will never agree with no matter what argument you make is the belief that since the country was founded by Christian men that Christianity can be used as a guide or compass for making laws in a country that promised in its founding documents the freedom of religion, which means the freedom to have NO religion. Thus making laws from a biblical standpoint that apply to all people whether they believe or not is an infringement on their rights.

Its kinda like a 2 buck limit or a 1 buck limit. If you believe the limit should be 1 then YOU just shoot 1. Likewise if you believe that you should be in church on Sunday and not in the woods, then YOU go to church on Sunday. If someone else that doesn't follow your beliefs or believes you don't need a church to have a relationship with God, then that is their choice. The state through human vessels has no right IMO to "impose the Lord's will".

Yes but can't that be any day does it have to be Sunday? No mention of Sunday in the bible to my knowledge. And this is just my belief I feel more with God in nature than any building with a sign out front. Just my opinion though not saying that anyone's beliefs are wrong or right just a personal feeling.

 

[Rakkin6]

It is changing in PA next year according to what Mike Yingling (makes turkey calls) told me last time I talked to him. I think they already changed it to have a few Sundays open this year.
