South Carolina Sunday Hunting Bill Scheduled for Hearing on March 29
Contact Members of the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee and Voice Your Support for H. 4614
South Carolina House Bill 4614, legislation that would allow hunting on Sundays on wildlife management areas, is scheduled for another hearing in the House Wildlife Subcommittee on Tuesday, March 29. State law currently prohibits hunting on public lands on Sunday, allowing only those with private property, or access to private property, the ability to go afield and hunt on Sunday. Please begin contacting members of the full House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee today and respectfully urge them to support H. 4614 when it comes before the full committee (likely on Weds., March 30).
Sunday hunting is an excellent vehicle to recruit new hunter-conservationists. Due to the greater prevalence of academic, athletic, and other competing activities that take place on Saturday, it is likely that allowing Sunday hunting will more than double the number of days children can hunt. Additionally, for those adults who work Monday through Friday, or Saturday, this would allow one more chance to go afield and hunt. With access being one of the greatest barriers to getting new people involved in hunting, NSSF® strongly support H. 4614 as a way to help remove one of those obstacles to recruiting new hunters or retaining existing hunters.
