Sunday Hunting

The Sunday Hunting Ban Isn’t About Religion. It’s About Something Weirder.

Maine’s highest court upheld its Sunday hunting ban, but the real reason it survives has nothing to do with religion. The ban acts as a de facto wildlife management tool and a peacekeeping mechanism, giving non-hunters a safe day to use the woods. The fight is political, not legal—and the quiet supporters are the ones who know the ban keeps the peace.
