Nova Scotian should allow its residents to hunt Sundays.

Yeah, that's a little behind times not hunting on Sunday in NS. My son moved to NS and the first thing he mentioned was on how it's a slower pace in time and store hours. Took a while for him to adjust.

Hunting is a timeless tradition for many. With the rising cost of living and the recent tariffs imposed by the US, combined with many people working Monday to Friday it’s never been a better time for Nova Scotia to follow suit to other provinces and allow its resident to hunt Sundays.

They used to ban Sunday hunting in NL, but changed it over time. At first you could only hunt on Sundays for part of the year, now there is no ban.

People we all know we cannot have folks hunting on Sundays as it keeps money out of the church collection plates.

Alot of the issue are just old people stuck in their ways. At least here in my area.

They're afraid of change, I mean when the local grey hair restaurant changed names, they b!tched and made huge stink how they're boycotting it, because the food changed. Nobody here likes salt or pepper, the food is quite bland. They said I don't know what food should taste like. Except I moved from the city, so I def do know what outside food taste like.

They embrace like cutting in line, rudeness because they got away with it for years. Because they ran with the whole respect your elders. So, we were just supposed to accept that behavior.

I've gotten that there is no way I'm a Veteran. 12 years in the CF, tour in Afghanistan and A GCS given to me says otherwise.
 
That's what I hated about Alberta and no Sunday hunting. Only got weekends of so one day to hunt. Even with long weekends had to not do anything Sunday to hunt Monday. Here in Quebec can hunt Sundays but such a short season also. After I left Alberta they changed things.
 
No big game here but pei finally allows Sunday hunting as of last year.
Why coyotes, a non-native invasive species that apparently "out breed hunting efforts"(something everyone brings up for some reason) have a limited season is still beyond me.

I was told by an Ab game biologist that one of the things that played a large part in Ab changing & allowing sunday hunting was the fact that 10's of thousands of migratory birds didnt take sunday off from feeding on farmers crops indiscriminately...allowing sundays was a "predator control" initiative originally.

I'm completely against letting hunters from other provinces hunt here without paying double at the least, and/or even better requiring a local (not a guide) to accompany. Guides can be shysters. If one province can't maintain their wildlife due to whatever (usually too many people), I sure don't want them coming and doing the same to mine.

If I were King for a day, non-resident licenses would be 10x what we charge residents and guided licenses (which I absolutely despise) much more than that and their quota greatly reduced and distributed to all other Canadian non-residents applicants. I'm also definitely against the need for a local sponsor (like Alberta, BC, Yukon, etc), I don't see why hunting Canada as a Canadian non-resident should be exclusively for those who know someone in that Province or who pays 20-100k to "pay to play" which sucks. Why are rich non-residents being catered to but Canadian residents get nothing, not even a slim chance at drawing a DIY tag? I think it's extremely depressing that I cannot DIY any of the Territories (especially considering how much of the Provinces' tax dollars going to the Territories) or Alberta and BC, on my own without any locals holding my hand, I've hunted the Yukon with a fellow Cgn'er who's a great stand up guy and had a blast, even the trip of a lifetime, but I got lucky in finding him and he took a huuuuge chance in hosting me. Many US states charge 400-1200 USD for a non-resident tag and quite frankly, I'm happy to pay that much to hunt those states. Saskatchewan offers some of the best deer hunting in the world and we charge non-residents $180 and guided non-residents $360, which is absolutely ridiculous...

I'm a big fan of the "family first" pool here in Sk. I like that my out-of-Province relatives can hunt with me, a tax payer, on a regular basis, though I would set aside 50% of tags for other regular Canadian non-resident applicants. But again, I would have no issues with my relatives paying twice even three times what they currently pay to come hunt here. Also, end outfitter welfare, I find it appalling that regular non-Canadian residents cannot hunt moose or wolf without an outfitter, completely ridiculous, if outfitters can't make a living without government assistance, so be it, makes hunting Northern Saskatchewan less of a hassle for me when I come face to face with a hostile outfitter/guide on Crown land. Give all Canadian residents better chances at drawing tags here.

But I digress and this was a long winded irrelevant rant, no Sunday hunting is stupid.
 
When I was growing up in Ontario, there was no Sunday hunting, but that changed long ago. As a kid, I was always told that it was because people in church were bothered and/or offended by gunfire.

Now in Manitoba, we have a local whom I have met a couple of times in the general store, and who is very vocal about feeling that she "shouldn't have to listen to gunfire while in church!" :rolleyes:

Many Southern Ontario municipalities still have "No Sunday Gun" hunting in place... you can bpwhunt in all of those to my knowledge, so the issue (whatever that is), must be related to the noise and not the activity.

Probably religious reason. Same as why my NSLC is closed on Sundays. Or why our range cannot start shooting till after 12 pm on Sundays. Probably the same bunch that didn't want Sunday shopping. NS is ran by a bunch of don't want to change old folks, stuck in their ways.

Chruch has too much power, and I bet majority could care less. Why religion shouldn't have ANY power in anything political.

I've attended a Christian church for over 37 years. I've never once heard another believer complain about Sunday hunting not do I find any current churches in the deer woods. The Harley Davidsons roaring up and down the street make far more noise and I've not heard complaints about those either.

It's not about the current church's influence over what other's do, it's about old Day of Rest laws that haven't changed yet. It doesn't happen over night.
