Durham County opposes bow hunting on Sundays


e-mail print friendly

The Durham County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Monday opposing a state proposal to change wildlife regulations.

The change would have allowed bow hunting on private property on Sundays.

Commissioners unanimously decided that the change was not in the best interest of the county. Their resolution will now be sent on to Durham legislators.

The General Assembly is expected to take up the issue later this year.

Actually the Lord created the Sabbath to rest and it was the 7th day of the week. Sunday is the first day of the week and was created by someone else. JC probably didn't go to church on Sunday either.

The Lord created Sunday to rest, not hunt. JC didn't bow-hunt on Sundays, that's for sure.

I think this discussion has gotten out of hand. I am an Orange County socialist, AND I support deer hunting. That's right, I am in favor of deer hunting, and opposed to Blue Laws. However, Durham County is densely populated and probably not the best place to hunt anyway. We have enough deer in O.C. for everyone. So come on out here to the sticks. It's not far to go. And let's get real. There are stupid hunters just like there are stupid liberals. My next-door neighbor was peppered with bird shot carrying her newborn baby up her driveway from the hospital. When it happens, sometimes it's too late to call the game warden. A cross bow can kill beyond the range over which it is accurate.

You live in Durham huh? And won't get shot for one day?? How about the Durham Police Chief getting caught in drive-by crossfire the other day!! And to top it off he was on the way to a community organized meeting about crime!!! Its not the woods you need to worry about...its the thugs that cruise Durham's streets!

>>It's just one day!!!

It's half of the days I have to hunt, being a law abiding job having citizen.
