The Sunday Hunting Coalition, fresh on the heels of the successful NSSF-led effort to repeal the ban on Sunday hunting in Virginia, last week welcomed the Pope and Young Club to the impressive roster of coalition members. Founded in 1961 and based in Minnesota, the Pope and Young Club is one of North America’s leading bowhunting and conservation organizations. Currently, 10 states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia) have restrictions or prohibitions on Sunday hunting that date back to “blue laws” enacted in the 1700s.
In addition to the Pope and Young Club, the Sunday hunting coalition includes the National Shooting Sports Foundation, National Rifle Association, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, Archery Trade Association, Bass Pro Shops, Boone and Crockett Club, Cabela’s, Delta Waterfowl, Mule Deer Foundation, National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses, Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, Quality Deer Management Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Safari Club International, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance and the Wildlife Management Institute.
