Sunday Hunting is NOT the Maine Way.
Take Action!
Make your voice heard and help stop the Sunday hunting bills! We need to make it loud and clear that passing any Sunday hunting bill is unacceptable. Landowners deserve one day a week to fully enjoy their property and it ensures that land stays accessible for public recreational use.
