Keep no Sunday hunting law

Sunday hunting may seem like an idea whose time has come to hunters and people who don’t own land, but I have lived on a farm for over 40 years, and there hasn’t been a single year when there have been no trespassing hunters.

Although I give some hunters known to me permission to hunt here, there are, every year, trespassing hunters, although the borders are posted. I keep and maintain this land, pay taxes on it as required, but none of the governmental entities to whom I pay them is any help on this subject. It is useless to call a game warden, and hunters are no longer required to display their licenses, anyway.

Ever since I had a horse shot dead in the barnyard, not 20 feet from the barn, I have been a little wary of going out onto my own land, when there are probably armed strangers wandering around. Why can’t I have Sundays to enjoy my own land during hunting season? Are hunters’ wishes really so important as to override those of the landowners?
