Sunday
When we came to BC in 1946 there was Sunday hunting and there has been ever since. When I read threads like these and see how it is in so much of Canada, I realize just how lucky we are. Not only Sunday hunting, but like someone mentioned, clothing colour of your choice while hunting, carry a rifle in the bush twelve months of the year, season or no season. Our hunting licence's expire on March 31 every year, so most of us have a new one by April 3. Long hunting seasons, about three months for deer and almost that long for some other bigger game. At one time moose season opened Sept. 1 and closed Dec. 15, for any bull moose, throughout most of the province. Alas, the guys from further east heard of all this and invaded in great numbers! That raised hell with a lot of our freedoms in the bush! Now, there is generally a draw for most bull moose, but still a long season for tiny bulls and often a couple of weeks for a calf, without a draw.
My wife came from one of the best duck and goose hunting areas in Saskatchewan. Strangely, she always liked to visit her relation in goose hunting time! (Didn't take too many hints.) I hunted with her cousin who knew every farmer in the area, but worked in his butcher shop and made it a bit awkward to get away in the mornings. It always bugged me not to be able to hunt on Sunday's. I made it a point to talk to the game warden, oops, I mean CO, about no hunting on Sunday. I used the same argument that DVXDude mentioned, working people get one day a week to hunt. I couldn't get to first base with him. His argument was that the geese would all leave if they were hunted every day!!! I think that is, "Bull Biscuits."
Just being funny, I feel for you guys. Sort of ruins weekend hunts when they're only one dayers.
